“…To achieve the sustainable development of the economy and ecology, it is essential to design the contract to coordinate the low-carbon supply chain. Accordingly, the topic of contract design has captured considerable attention [15], [24]- [28]. To be specific, the two-part tariff contract has been given in [15] to perfectly coordinate the green supply chain that consists of a manufacturer and a retailer.…”

“…Recently, considerable effort has been devoted to exploring contract design problems for the low-carbon supply chain [13], [14], in which several contracts except simple wholesale price contract can help supply chain achieve the perfect coordination. As discussed in the relative literature [15]- [17], the primary advantages of the simple wholesale price contract are (1) to facilitate the management, (2) to reduce operating costs and adjust the inventory level effectively, and (3) to grasp the market situation quickly and flexibly. Given its advantages, it is meaningful to design the extended wholesale price contract to coordinate the low-carbon supply chain and improve economic performance as well as the environmental benefit.…”

This paper is contended with the joint emission reduction and pricing decision problems, as well as coordination contract design issue for a class of low-carbon supply chain system. Here, the evolution of emission reduction level is characterized by a linear differential equation. Also, product demand depends on emission reduction level, promotional effort, and retail price in a separable multiplicative way. By considering an optimal control model of the low-carbon supply chain, differential game theory is used to obtain the optimal joint emission reduction efforts, pricing strategies, and the optimal emission reduction level in different decision systems. Subsequently, attention is focused on the design of new coordination contract with the fixed or varied wholesale price such that, under the dynamic decision perspective, supply chain system can realize the win-win situation of economy and ecology, as well as the profits of individual members are Pareto improvement. Finally, several numerical examples are given to show the validity and feasibility of the presented results.

At present, the problems of homogenization and low quality in China’s iron and steel industry are particularly prominent and the ability of the enterprises to cope with change is insufficient. Adopting product differentiation strategy and dynamic adjustment strategy can allow steel enterprises and the industry to better adapt to future changes. By introducing the product differentiation degree (substitution coefficient) and the bounded rationality strategy to simulate these two strategic means, this paper constructs an extended two-stage dynamic game model to analyse the dynamic game scenarios and steel market stability in China. As new findings, we report the following: (1) The system is more likely to fall into an unbalanced state when multiple enterprises adopt the policy of dynamic output adjustment simultaneously. (2) Enterprises with large output and small output have different output adjustment policies. When enterprises with big-scale output adopt a bit larger adjustment policies, enterprises with small output will be strongly impacted, and the available adjustment space will be sharply compressed. (3) The gradual increase in the difference between products reduces the stability of the market. (4) When product differentiation and bounded rationality strategies coexist, the steel market may fall into an unbalanced state when the degree of product difference increases excessively and the enterprise adopts more drastic output adjustment policies. Therefore, there are pros and cons to product differentiation strategy and bounded rationality adjustment strategy. When each steel oligopoly enterprise formulates a production plan, it needs to comprehensively consider the output changes of the other enterprises and carefully weigh the strategic issues.

Industry and academia are both making efforts to realize a sustainable society; an important part of these efforts is to ensure the sustainability of the supply chains that support our daily life. Sustainable supply chains are more complex than traditional supply chains, and they involve a combination of multiple issues. Multiple plans must be used to deal with these issues. However, these plans often conflict with each other. To manage a sustainable supply chain, an integrated approach is needed to operate multiple plans for multiple issues.This paper introduces a research concept for integrated sustainable supply chain management using a multi-agent system. An agent executing a plan for an issue autonomously negotiates with other agents and avoids conflicts. Linear physical programming used for negotiation balances agents’ utility and ensures that all plans function well. Through this research, we provide an example of the simultaneous operation of multiple plans in a sustainable supply chain, aiming at the social implementation of sustainable supply chains.
