Pricing Decisions for Power Battery Closed-Loop Supply Chains with Low-Carbon Input by Echelon Utilization Enterprises

Today, with the number of waste power batteries and consumers’ awareness of low-carbon both increasing, a new closed-loop supply chain model in which the node enterprises of reverse supply chains are being constructed. These are responsible for the recycling, echelon utilization and low-carbon innovation of waste power batteries. This provides a new way for the development of reverse supply chain node enterprises and lays a theoretical foundation. In this paper, we use the backward solution method to solve the Nash equilibrium solution of the Stackelberg game. Through numerical calculation and simulation, the decision variables, profit and income of the supply chain are analyzed and the equilibrium results are compared. The experimental results indicate that the implementation of low-carbon innovative production by cascaded utilization enterprises is conducive to the growth of their profits with lower cost inputs. The impact of the initial waste power battery recycling rate on the decision variables is negative, while, for the supply chain as a whole, the profit growth of the node companies can be positive and the location of the inflection point appears to be particularly important. The sensitivity coefficient of low-carbonization levels has a positive regulatory effect on decision variables and location of all parties. The closed-loop supply chain model proposed in this study promotes the overall development of a power battery closed-loop supply chain, and also provides theoretical guidance for reasonable pricing decisions of node enterprises under the new model. Based on the results of this paper, the government can implement incentives such as subsidies, or formulate reasonable policies for the development of a power battery closed-loop supply chain.

Investigation of complex dynamics and chaos control of the duopoly supply chain under the mixed carbon policy

Against the background of the mixed carbon policy (carbon tax‑carbon trading) implemented in China, the authors analyze the complexity of a series of competition decisions between supply chains through constructing Cournot(Duopoly)game model between supply chains. The dynamics of the proposed game model and the time evolution of the supply chains are described by a nonlinear discrete dynamical system. The equilibrium point of the discrete dynamical system is obtained and its local stability is discussed. The stability of the equilibrium point is further discussed by numerical simulation, which is affected by the speed of adjusting parameters and some other cost parameters. Finally, we apply the delayed feedback control method to suppress and overcome the chaos of the discrete dynamical system. It can effectively promote the discrete dynamical system to return to the stable behavior. It is hoped that the current research can provide a theoretical basis for the competitive decision-making of supply chain node enterprises.

Research on Agricultural Supply Chain Architecture Based on Edge Computing and Efficiency Optimization

This paper proposes the classification standard of supply chain structure from three different aspects: the complexity of the supply chain node enterprises, the reliability of the supply chain, and the optimization goal. In addition, this article starts from the characteristics of agriculture itself, according to the actual needs of the agricultural supply chain, considers the feasibility of the solution strategy from different sides, and gives related models, which solve the related problems in the agricultural supply chain to a certain extent. At present, there are many resource allocation algorithms at the edge of mobile networks, but the existing resource allocation algorithms still have the problem of high computational complexity and can still solve the above problems in resource utilization optimization. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a system architecture of the agricultural industry Internet of Things based on edge computing. The main motivations of this article are to improve the stability and usability of the system, and to enhance agricultural wisdom, so as to provide a reference for the development of precision agriculture. According to this method, Firstly, from the perspective of how to improve the energy efficiency of mobile terminals, methods to improve the energy efficiency of mobile terminals are studied in multi-user systems where mobile terminals compete for MEC servers with limited computing resources. Then, this paper focuses on the waste of computing resources caused by user movement under the scenario of limited server coverage in MEC system and studies the problem from the perspective of effective management of computing resources. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has good performance.

Analysis of Uncertainty and Advanced Solutions in Enterprise Supply Chain Management Based on Game Theory

The so-called supply chain refers to the network chain structure formed around the core enterprises, namely suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, final customers, logistics service providers and even supplier suppliers and distributors. An effective supply chain system allows companies to plan and utilize resources from a global perspective. Through the construction of management strategies, management processes, partnerships and information systems, real-time monitoring and regulation of the operation of various business activities within the enterprise. Fundamentally speaking, whether the supply chain node enterprises establish cooperative partnership is a game problem between node enterprises. We need a lot of practical support, more efforts and research work. Only by establishing long-term strategic partnership among supply chain node enterprises can a win-win situation be created and higher profits be brought to enterprises. That is to say, to achieve collective rationality on the basis of individual rationality and to achieve optimal cooperation.

A Research about the Impact of Cash Flow Service Provider on the Supply Chain Capital Flow-Based on the Input-Output Model

In order to explore the ripple effect on the upstream and downstream enterprises that caused by enterprise’s change in cash flow brought by cash flow service provider, we structure the input-output cash flow table between supply chain node enterprises based a single-cycle newsvendor model and the systematic character of supply chain, and use the Input-Output Model and Price Change Model to study the effect caused by two cash flow services (compressing capital recovery period and compressing procurement payment service) of cash flow service provider on the financing enterprise itself and its upstream and downstream. It is validated that the cash flow service provider can not only solve the funds shortage problem of financing enterprises, but also has a significant impact on the cash flow changes of upstream and downstream enterprises.

Impacts of external shocks on the decisions of hog supply chains under liquidity constraints from the perspective of commercial credit.

Certain attributes of the hog industry increase the production risk in nodal enterprises of the hog supply chain, leading to high financing costs and eventually resulting in liquidity constraints. When the hog supply chain node enterprises are subjected to external shocks, on the basis of the commercial credit relationship in the supply chain, the entire supply chain generates liquidity risks and systemic risks. We analyze the input and output of the hog supply chain node enterprises under the constraint of liquidity, construct the mathematical model, discuss the dynamic differences of liquidity constraints in different situations, and measures the commercial credit risk and anti-risk ability of the pig supply chain node enterprises. If the external shock is less than a certain value, the current profits of the hog enterprise can entirely make up for the loss caused by external shocks, and the production of the firm will return to its state of equilibrium. If the external shock is large enough, liquidity constraints will seriously restrict the production input of the enterprise, which then leads to a deceleration of production input and may ultimately result in bankruptcy. We believe that the structure of the hog industry supply chain should be constantly adjusted to optimize the industrial upgrading and organizational form of the hog supply chain.

The Study on Partners Selection Model on the Trust Network

A necessary condition for efficient operation of the supply chain is having the right partner.This article aims to build evaluation system and selection models of the partner selection in supply chain financing, reduce the overall risk level of supply chain and improve revenue of all parties.The starting point of the supply chain alliance is each node enterprise form a win-win relations of cooperation.It blurred operation boundariesof the traditional enterprise taking the advantages of each node enterprise.Through scientific and effective social division of labor, the effective integration of resources, it establishedpartnership, shared information and ultimately maximized their own interests.Supply chain alliance is a kind of coexistence of competition and cooperation relations, each node enterprises in supply chain has an indispensable role.

A Study on the Information Sharing Model of the Supply Chain Based on Transmission Dynamics and Its Application

Supply chain management has been a subject of both theoretical and empirical studies in the operations management literature. One of the reasons for supply chain inefficiencies is the inadequacy of information sharing among the supply chain node enterprises, which has drawn wide concerns among scholars and reseracher in this field. Based on a review of current studies in transmission dynamics, this paper constructs a three-phased model. The models and critical thresholds in homogeneous, heterogeneous, and heterogeneous conditional networks are worked out to reveal the quantitative relationship between some statistics of the supply chain network. The finding of statistical emulation, arrived at with the adjustment of the parameters, is that the alteration in the threshold can effectively improve the level of enterprise information sharing among the supply chain node enterprises. This study finding is of theoretical value and practical significance.
