“…[67]. Several researchers work on short and long-term effects of a rapid response approach on the apparel industry [68], social sustainability issues in the clothing SC due to COVID-19 [67], and COVID-19 impact on the apparel industry [69]. Still, there is no research regarding strategies to manage or recover from the impact of COVID-19 on RMG supply chains.…”

This paper aims to identify the negative impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on supply chains and propose strategies to deal with the impacts in the context of the readymade garment (RMG) industry supply chain of an emerging economy: Bangladesh. To achieve the aims, a methodological framework is proposed through a literature review, expert inputs, and a decision-aid tool, namely the grey-based digraph-matrix method. A total of 10 types of negative impacts and 22 strategic measures to tackle the impacts were identified based on the literature review and expert inputs. Then, the grey-based digraph-matrix was applied for modeling the strategic measures based on their influence to deal with the impacts. Findings reveal that the strategies “manufacturing flexibility”, “diversify the source of supply”, and “develop backup suppliers” have significant positive consequences for managing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the RMG supply chain. The findings help industrial managers recover from supply chain disruptions by identifying and classifying the impacts and strategies required to manage the major supply chain disturbances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a theoretical contribution, this study is one of few initial attempts to evaluate the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak and the strategies to deal with the impacts in the supply chain context.

This paper constructs a supply chain model composed of a manufacturer and a recycler. The manufacturer’s CSR and the recycler’s fairness concerns are introduced to the benchmark model in turn, and the optimal decision-making problems under different models are studied and compared. The findings show that the manufacturer’s utility will increase and the recycler’s utility will decrease when the manufacturer undertakes CSR within a reasonable range. The optimal utility of manufacturers does not change, and the utility of the recycler is affected by the proportion of CSR undertaken by the manufacturer when the recycler considers fairness concerns. Based on the CSR and fairness model, this paper constructs a dynamic decision system of production quantity and eco-innovation effort. We analyze the influence of adjustment speed on the dynamic decision system and obtain the conditions required to maintain system stability. The research conclusion indicates that with the increase of adjusting parameters, the system gradually appears chaotic state from a stable state and the chaotic state of the system has a negative impact on the utility of manufacturer and recycler. In order to avoid chaos in the system, this paper uses the delayed feedback method to control the system.

“…Chen and Wang [ 21 ] establish a three-dimensional fractional calculus game model in a financial system of blockchain supply chain and study the chaos phenomenon in such a supply chain. Currently, an increasing number of researches focus on the chaos in the dual-channel supply chain [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], closed-loop supply chain [ 26 , 27 , 28 ]. As chaos phenomenon is usually harmful, Goksu et al [ 29 ] study the chaos control for a supply chain.…”

Many small manufacturing factories suffer insufficient environment-friendly capacity after eliminating the outdated and environmental-harmful production capacity according to stringent environmental rules and regulations. This paper analyzes two strategies that the manufacturer with limited environment-friendly capacity may take to tackle this problem, i.e., investing in building environment-friendly capacities and collaborating with the manufacturer with sufficient environment-friendly capacity in capacity sharing. In a supply chain with two competing manufacturers, this paper builds game-theoretical models and investigates equilibrium solutions under three scenarios (no capacity investment or sharing, capacity investment, and capacity sharing). Then this research investigates the feasible regions of these two strategies and compares the performance of each manufacturer under each scenario. The findings show that both capacity investment and capacity sharing can effectively reduce the profit loss of the manufacturer with limited capacity, while only capacity sharing benefits both manufacturers. The feasibility of these two strategies depends on the initial capacity volume and the capacity investment cost coefficient of the manufacturer with limited capacity. Moreover, the preference of the manufacturer with limited capacity for each strategy depends on the capacity investment cost coefficient. When the capacity investment cost coefficient is relatively high, the win-win situation exists for supply chain members. Furthermore, with the use of chaos theory, the paper shows how to adjust the capacity investment in each period to keep the system stable.
