Abstract

Cascading failures are a critical factor affecting the operation of supply chain systems and have received widespread attention. In real-world cases, when an enterprise fails, resources are not evenly distributed to nearby similar enterprises. Instead, they are indirectly allocated through adjustments based on the competition and cooperation among enterprises. Moreover, enterprises often withhold complete information during competition in order to gain more benefits. These factors all influence cascading failures in supply chains. Therefore, we investigate the resilience of cascading failures in dual-layer supply chain networks under enterprise competition with incomplete information. We propose a supply-sales dual-layer network model that takes into account product similarity and enterprise competitiveness. Based on this model, we develop a cascading failure mechanism that includes node competition, replacement, and indirect neighboring load redistribution. Additionally, we incorporate the concept of enterprise information transparency to align with real-world supply chains. Experimental results indicate that (1) increased enterprise transparency can enhance the network’s resilience to cascading failures; (2) for suppliers, focusing on the quality rather than the quantity of cooperative sales enterprises is more critical for resisting cascading failures; (3) compared to the sales network, attacks on the supply network can result in a larger scale of cascading failures.

企业不完全信息竞争下双层供应链网络的级联失效弹性

级联故障是影响供应链系统运行的重要因素，受到了广泛的关注。在现实情况下，当一个企业失败时，资源不会均匀地分配到附近的类似企业。而是通过企业间竞争与合作的调整，间接进行分配。此外，企业在竞争过程中往往为了获得更多的利益而隐瞒完整的信息。这些因素都会影响供应链中的连锁失败。因此，我们研究了企业不完全信息竞争下双层供应链网络级联故障的弹性。本文提出了一个考虑产品相似度和企业竞争力的供需双层网络模型。在此模型的基础上，我们开发了一个级联失效机制，包括节点竞争、节点替换和间接的相邻负载重新分配。此外，我们还结合了企业信息透明的概念，以与现实世界的供应链保持一致。实验结果表明：(1)提高企业透明度可以增强网络对级联故障的弹性；(2)对于供应商而言，关注合作销售企业的质量比关注合作销售企业的数量对抵御级联失效更为关键；(3)与销售网络相比，对供应网络的攻击会导致更大规模的级联故障。

期刊介绍： Elsevier publishes Reliability Engineering & System Safety in association with the European Safety and Reliability Association and the Safety Engineering and Risk Analysis Division. The international journal is devoted to developing and applying methods to enhance the safety and reliability of complex technological systems, like nuclear power plants, chemical plants, hazardous waste facilities, space systems, offshore and maritime systems, transportation systems, constructed infrastructure, and manufacturing plants. The journal normally publishes only articles that involve the analysis of substantive problems related to the reliability of complex systems or present techniques and/or theoretical results that have a discernable relationship to the solution of such problems. An important aim is to balance academic material and practical applications.
