Vendor managed inventory, CiteSpace, Hot research topic, Research trendAbstract
Based on the research literature on China vendor managed inventory from 2000 to 2024, CiteSpace software was used to carry out visual bibliometric analysis of knowledge graphs such as keyword co-occurrence and clustering, and to explore the research hotspots and trends of supplier management inventory in China. It is found that the hot topics of domestic supplier management inventory research mainly include supplier management inventory and information sharing re-search, operation optimization research, and interest coordination research, and the research has gone through three stages: initial exploration period, growth period and comprehensive development period. Finally, it is proposed that in the field of supplier management inventory in the future, it is urgent to focus on the combination of green supply chain and digital intelligence, and explore the ap-plication of new technologies and models.
