“…One of the major constraints that were affecting the trade and development of most industries in Africa is the transport and logistics industry which has been lagging for a long time (Chen, Xu, & Haralambides, 2019;Dai & Xu, 2013;Guo & Shen, 2016). The Chinese have been working hard to improve this by actively engaging in the development of railway lines, airports, seaports, and highways.…”

Over the last two decades, the trade between Africa and China has grown significantly but there is still a debate on how local industries in Africa are being affected. Two key foreign policies, FOCAC and BRI, by China are the foundations on which the trade is done with its African partners. This study aims to assess which industries in Africa are being affected by these Chinese-led foreign trade policies and the significance of that impact. Using panel data, the study examines the effect of the FOCAC era and the FOCAC+BRI era on the energy, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and technology industries for six partners. The results from the analysis showed that imports positively affect the agriculture and the energy sectors while the manufacturing industry is negatively affected by imported goods. On the other hand, exports have shown a positive impact on the mining sector. However, the agriculture industry is still struggling to have positive gains from exports. The findings of this study are important as the continent works towards "One Africa" which seeks to promote sustainable development of the continent. Also, the study focuses on specific industries that are significant to the economic growth of these countries as shown by their positive relationship with the GDP of these nations.

With the wide application of Internet technology, the embedded system is becoming more and more to develop in the direction of the network. The combination of embedded devices and the Internet represents the future direction of development of embedded systems. In this paper, a microprocessor-based embedded Ethernet solution was presented. The collaborative software and hardware design thought was used in system. TheμC /OS-II operating system, joined the TCP/IP protocol stack, was transplanted to the embedded Ethernet platform. The test results proved that the embedded Ethernet system network communication is stable and reliable.

“…However, inventory inaccuracy has been estimated based on statistical information with deterministic values. Adoption of RFID can provide real-time inventory information, since the technology enables real-time inventory tracking and the latter has been identified as a main application area for RFID in the supply chain (Dai and Xu, 2013). Therefore, inventory inaccuracy can be considered an additional demand which may be present in one or more echelons and therefore has an impact on supply chain dynamic behavior, including the bullwhip effect.…”

“…The authors considered information sharing in inventory shrinkage, whereas only the retailer was subject to shrinkage and implemented RFID. However, Dai and Xu (2013) argued that the economic benefit from RFID implementation is maximized when all echelons invest in RFID. Furthermore, inventory modeling results obtained for a single-echelon or a two-echelon environment are not necessarily valid in a multi-echelon environment (Cattani et al , 2011).…”

Purpose Information distortion results in demand variance amplification in upstream supply chain members, known as the bullwhip effect, and inventory inaccuracy in the inventory records. As inventory inaccuracy contributes to the bullwhip effect, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of inventory inaccuracy on the bullwhip effect in radio-frequency identification (RFID)-enabled supply chains and, in this context, to evaluate supply chain performance because of the RFID technology. Design/methodology/approach A simulation modeling method based on hierarchical timed colored petri nets is presented to model inventory management in multi-stage serial supply chains subject to inventory inaccuracy for various traditional and information sharing configurations in the presence and absence of RFID. Validation of the method is done by comparing results obtained for the bullwhip effect with published literature results. Findings The bullwhip effect is increased in RFID-enabled multi-stage serial supply chains subject to inventory inaccuracy. The information sharing supply chain is more sensitive to the impact of inventory inaccuracy. Research limitations/implications Information sharing involves collaboration in market demand and inventory inaccuracy, whereas RFID is implemented by all echelons. To obtain the full benefits of RFID adoption and collaboration, different collaboration strategies should be investigated. Originality/value Colored petri nets simulation modeling of the inventory management process is a novel approach to study supply chain dynamics. In the context of inventory errors, information on RFID impact on the dynamic behavior of multi-stage serial supply chains is provided.
