To cope with rapidly environmental changing, the firms have to improve their supply chain management for increasing efficiency. In this study, we investigate the supply chain of Taiwan convenience stores by System Dynamic approach. The simulation software Anylogic is used to create simulation models for three inventory management systems, namely Traditional Inventory Management, Logistics Management and Joint Managed Inventory. The results show that the Joint Managed Inventory system outperforms the other two inventory models. The significance of this study lies in the background of the real data and applying System Dynamic analysis to study inventory problem. Through the analysis results, this study provides effective suggestions in inventory optimization for Taiwan convenience stores from the perspective of supply chain management.
