Vendor Managed Inventory is a comparatively common method, which can effectively avoid magnifying demand, reduce the total cost of the supply chain, and enhance the efficiency of the supply chain.

Then a model with invariable demand and a model with function demand under vendor managed inventory mode were established respectively, and the iterative method was used to solve the later case.
