The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed vulnerabilities in global supply chains, leading to economic damage and product shortages caused by demand surges and supply disruptions. Concurrently, geopolitical conflicts and the rising frequency of natural disasters due to climate change have amplified the urgency to develop strategies for building resilient supply chains. This article presents a comprehensive literature review on inventory management strategies for enhancing supply chain resilience, such as stockpiling, multi-sourcing, capacity reservation, and flexible supply contracts. We classify these strategies into two categories: one deals with supply-side disruption risks, and the other deals with demand-side disruption risks. For each category, we summarize the practical challenges, the state-of-art research, and potential avenues for future research.
新冠疫情暴露了全球供应链的脆弱性，导致需求激增和供应中断造成经济损失和产品短缺。与此同时，地缘政治冲突以及气候变化导致自然灾害频发，这凸显了制定增强供应链韧性战略的紧迫性。本文对提高供应链韧性的库存管理策略进行了全面的文献综述，例如库存储备、多源采购、产能预留和灵活供应合同。我们将这些策略分为两类：一类应对供应端中断风险，另一类应对需求端中断风险。对于每一类，我们总结了实际挑战、前沿研究以及未来研究的潜在方向。
