A sustainable game strategic supply chain model with multi-factor dependent demand and mark-up under revenue sharing contract

Abstract

In the current socio-economic situation, the daily demand for essential goods in the business sector is always changing owing to various unavoidable reasons. Choosing the right method for a profitable business has become quite tricky. The proposed study introduces different business strategies based on trade credit, revenue sharing contract, variable demand and production rate. As trade credit is one of the best policies to attract customers, there are two types of models based on it. In the first model, demand depends on average selling price, green degree, and products quality. An additional trade-credit factor is in the second model. However, considering coordination, non-coordination, and revenue sharing contracts, each model has three sub-cases. The main aim is to find the best strategy for the profit maximization of the supply chain members. Green investment, maintenance, and multi-factor dependent demand make the model more sustainable. The global optimization is established theoretically and different propositions are developed. Through numerical experiments, the global optimality is also verified. Some special cases, with a comparative graph, are provided for the validation of these results and to find the best strategy for profit maximization. Finally, some concluding remarks along with future extensions are discussed.

Dynamic strategy for low-carbon supply chain considering retailers competition and technological innovation

“…Based on this foundation, Giannoccaro et al [57] designed a revenue-sharing contract that achieves complete coordination within the supply chain. Similar studies have been conducted by Xu et al [58] and Bhuniya et al [59] . This contract, building upon the cost-sharing contract, incorporates revenue-sharing mechanisms to incentivize the behavior of supply chain members.…”

Evolution Game Analysis of Supply Chain Synergy Benefits of Prefabricated Building Projects

“…This study focuses on the impact of the collaborative behavior of each participating subject on the synergistic benefits of the supply chain of prefabricated building projects. In the supply chain of prefabricated building projects, the government provides policy and subsidy support from the macro aspect [31][32][33]; the construction unit, as a provider of assembly buildings, is constrained by the macro environment of the policy and, on the other hand, it is influenced by the willingness of other subjects in the supply chain to collaborate to maximize its interests. Prefabricated component manufacturers, as an important part of the prefabricated building project differentiated from the traditional construction project, undertake the task of producing prefabricated components and transporting them to the site, and their production efficiency and benefits are also affected by whether or not they participate in the collaboration.…”

MABAC framework for logarithmic bipolar fuzzy multiple attribute group decision-making for supplier selection

“…To solve MADM systems, Xu and Yager trained the OWA operator to [19]. Last few years different advanced and intelligent techniques for decision making were proposed by several researches [20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”
