Within the oil marketing operation, various entities compete and attempt to maximize their profits by providing sufficient supply to meet needs of market. It is an optimal method for oil marketing company operation with a dynamically reasonable inventory to maximize profit under oil price fluctuation and inventory sales lag. In this paper, we study the optimal procurement method of oil marketing company which confirms the reasonable inventory. We build a data fusion model for the GMDH- (group method of data handling-) type neural network and normal distribution forecast results, what is trying to confirm the safety stock (SS). On the basis of the expectation criterion of risk decision and safety stock limit, oil marketing companies can make scientific purchase decision for inventory income. Numerical results reveal that this method has a good effect for inventory income.
