Abstract

In order to improve the modernization level of the home-decoration industry, this study explored the optimization strategy for the collaboration of supply chain in Hunan China. The research investigated current situation of home decoration in Hunan, and formulated the optimized scheme of collaboration. Previous literature was surveyed, the research method of observation and interview was used to investigate the current situation, and the induction method was used to analyze and summarize the data. Research results show that the cloud system can provide a new model for service providers, a more reasonable resource sharing system between members of the home decoration supply is recommended to build. For business decisions between upstream and downstream members of the supply chain it is highly suggested. The application of cloud system as the platform of home decoration can also reduce the operating costs of suppliers and improve customer satisfaction at the same time.
