Impact of Closed Operation Strategies on Profit of Core Enterprise in Closed Supply Chain for Vegetables: A System Dynamics Approach

Abstract

This paper aims to, from the new perspective of the impact of closed operation strategies on profit of core enterprise, adopt the theory of closed supply chain, find solutions to maximize control of vegetable quality and safety, and improve profit of core enterprises in the supply chain. Two of the most representative vegetables exported from Yunnan Province to Thailand are selected for this empirical study. And the system dynamics model witnesses the completion of simulation and forecast under eight schemes, respectively. Through contrastive analysis, the development trends of the two vegetables come to the same conclusion; that is, simultaneously strengthening the three closed strategies enables the creation of the biggest economic benefit for core enterprises in vegetable supply chain from Yunnan Province to Thailand.
