Modeling and analysis of supply chain with green product change

ABSTRACT

This paper proposes a novel method to study the impact of green product change on supply chain performance. First, to promote green consumption and information sharing, government intervention (tax and subsidy) and blockchain are well employed. Then, a series of mathematical models are elaborately developed based on green levels of products. Furthermore, detailed performance analysis of two kinds of supply chains are conducted, in which, the equilibrium results are obtained by using Stackelberg game. Finally, extensive numerical experiments demonstrate that mild green product change intensity together with low blockchain cost can improve supply chain performance.
