Abstract
With supply chain management’s increasing importance in work safety, this paper establishes the leading enterprise with core enterprises as work safety units. These guide the small and medium-sized enterprises within the supply chain to focus on improving work safety according to the leading position of the supply chain’s core enterprises. Therefore, the Stackelberg game model is applied to build and explain supply chain node-enterprises’ optimal centralized and decentralized operational decisions. This research was conducted in the context of enterprise work safety constraints’ influence on the manufacturing supply chain’s equilibrium results. It also reveals the necessity in supply chain node enterprises’ contract coordination design by comparing the two decision models’ equilibrium results. Ultimately, the manufacturing supply chain’s overall profit and work safety can reach a level that includes centralized decisions through revenue- and cost-sharing contracts. Furthermore, profits to the supply chain’s node enterprises also improve, and a Pareto optimality is achieved. An enlightened management demonstrates the importance of core enterprises’ leading position in the supply chain, and the supply chain node enterprises’ levels of work safety, product demand, and total profit can be promoted through revenue- and cost-sharing contracts.
Highlights
As economic globalization and production socialization have expanded, enterprises’ dependence upon production and operational activities has strengthened. us, future competition among enterprises includes both market- and supply chain-based competition [1]
According to the literature review, the existing relevant research mainly focuses on four aspects: firstly, research on the impact of safety accidents in manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); secondly, research on the motivation of core enterprises of the supply chain participating in work safety management of SMEs; thirdly, research on the work safety behavior of the enterprise from the perspective of supply chain; fourthly, research on supply chain contract coordination
Core enterprises require small and medium-sized suppliers to meet their social responsibility and focus on occupational health and safety [17] while sharing benefits and costs [18, 19]. erefore, relevant supply chain research presents an urgent need for works that examine how core enterprises can further enact occupational safety and health procedures in the supply chain, design contracts to coordinate the distribution of profits between core enterprises and SMEs, and alleviate the separation of revenue and input cost subjects in manufacturing supply chain node enterprises through safe production processes
Summary
As economic globalization and production socialization have expanded, enterprises’ dependence upon production and operational activities has strengthened. us, future competition among enterprises includes both market- and supply chain-based competition [1]. Compared with other game models and research methods, the Stackelberg game is a two-stage complete information dynamic game, which can reflect the real-time interaction between supply and demand Both sides choose their own strategies according to each other’s possible strategies to maximize their interests in each other’s strategies to achieve Nash equilibrium. This study offers a contract coordination design that strengthens the role of core enterprises in leading SMEs within the supply chain work safety management by the Stackelberg game model while filling the gap that concentrates the independent effect of SMEs’ safety issues and supply chain work safety management through the numerical simulation. Is would be based on the core enterprises’ leading position in the supply chain, as they can guide the supply chain’s SMEs to focus on a model and analysis to improve work safety Erefore, it is of great academic significance and enlightening for safety management to establish a leading enterprise in the supply chain with core enterprises as work safety units. is would be based on the core enterprises’ leading position in the supply chain, as they can guide the supply chain’s SMEs to focus on a model and analysis to improve work safety
