Research reviews and future prospective of collaborative operation in supply logistics based on Supply-Hub

Practices of collaborative operation in supply logistics is analyzed and the concept of Supply-Hub is discussed. Then the research of collaborative operation mode is reviewed based on supply-hub. Furthermore, research progress of collaborative operation and optimization in supply logistics based on supply-hub is analyzed from the four aspects, namely inventory coordination, vendor managed inventory (VMI) integration and just in time (JIT) technology, coordination between production and distribution, the other operation mode and technology. On this basis, main problems of collaborative operation and optimization in supply logistics based on Supply-Hub are put forward. Based on comparison of current results and investigation of manufacturing enterprises, research trends and directions of operation and optimization in supply logistics based on Supply-Hub are expounded.
