We propose an integrated framework for developing digital twins in distribution systems for managing demand risks, and it designs a decision support system for data-driven modeling to respond to two scenarios: (1) proactive design for managing future demand risks and (2) reactive design for managing real-time demand risks.

The results of the current paper contribute to practical actions and research in demand risk management and the discovery of patterns, trends, and potential changes, enhancing both proactive and reactive decision-making.

These stockpiles, however, can become huge economic burdens with the potential for waste. Cooperation between relief organisations and businesses, such as suppliers and insurance companies, may help to share risk and manage the uncertainty of relief response. This paper establishes cooperation mechanisms for relief organisations through a framework agreement with a supplier and a catastrophe insurance contract with an insurance company. A tripartite sequential game model (SGM) is established involving the relief organisation, the supplier, and the insurance company. We consider two contexts: one where the relief organisation has no budget constraint, and one where it does. With this cooperation mechanism, the relief organisation minimises the social costs of relief prepositioning, including its own storage, framework agreement, and insurance costs, while the supplier and insurance company maximise their profits. We explore the practicalities of cooperation mechanisms involving three parties and compare these with two-party cooperation agreements using a benchmark model (BM) through a case study in Shenzhen, China. Results show that the designed three-party cooperation mechanism can achieve a win-win-win situation for all parties from a long-term and sustainable perspective. This research contributes to the establishment of a tripartite game mechanism in which the relief organisation cooperates with the supplier and the insurance company.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"289 ","pages":"Article 109737"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144686166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These policies aim to mitigate carbon emissions while improving low-carbon economic performance. Our comparative analysis yields critical insights: Under conditions of low product pollution, the hybrid policy demonstrates superior performance across supply chain economics, environmental outcomes, and low-carbon economic indicators. Conversely, in high-pollution scenarios, the carbon capture subsidy and carbon tax policies exhibit distinct strengths—the former excels in economic performance, while the latter proves more environmentally effective. Notably, the carbon capture subsidy policy achieves the highest low-carbon economic performance in such cases. The robustness of these findings is confirmed through sensitivity analysis of the low-carbon economic performance function.

Therefore, this study conducts an integrative literature review to identify and map macro- and micro-level factors and their interrelationships in the context of offshoring and backshoring decisions. For offshoring, we observe strong linkages between firm-level operational priorities and macro-level drivers such as production capabilities and institutional support, as well as managerial and organizational characteristics. In contrast, backshoring decisions are primarily shaped by internal firm capabilities and are associated with macro-level advantages such as job creation, market valuation, and regional economic growth. Our findings further highlight microfoundational influences such as managerial preferences and decision-making heuristics as central to understanding backshoring behavior. By systematically mapping these multilevel relationships, the study contributes a novel decision-making framework for GFLD that integrates strategic and institutional dimensions to support more informed location strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"289 ","pages":"Article 109736"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144696799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CSCs connect actors in primary industries with those in the recycling, secondary materials, and energy sectors. However, the transition to effective CSCs requires a systemic shift that emphasises cross-sectoral collaboration and balances economic, environmental, and social objectives in an uncertain environment. Therefore, this study proposes a tri-objective multi-sector CSC network design model, formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming problem and solved using the <span><math><mi>ϵ</mi></math></span>-constraint method. To address both fuzzy and stochastic uncertainties in the CE context, a robust-fuzzy stochastic programming (RFSP) approach is used to integrate uncertain parameters such as demand and return rates, remanufacturing, recovery, recycling rates, and production costs. A sensitivity analysis of critical parameters, such as waste coefficients and the prices of primary and secondary products, further assesses the readiness of the network for a circular transition. The practical relevance of the model is demonstrated through a case study of the French tyre industry, which reveals complex interdependencies in the circular system and provides valuable insights for stakeholders in the French primary and secondary markets. The findings highlight the interrelated roles of these industries in circular transitions and underline the importance of integrating uncertainty into the design of CSC to effectively balance competing objectives.

However, establishing a retail channel requires substantial financial investment, driving capital-constrained 3PLs to explore financing options. To investigate the encroachment and financing strategies of 3PLs, we develop a game-theoretic model in which a retail platform sells products while a capital-constrained 3PL manages product transportation and retains the option to enter the retail market. Two financing sources are considered: bank financing and platform financing. Our analysis of encroachment strategies reveals that 3PL encroachment is discouraged when the disparity in logistics services is minimal or when the market-entry cost is prohibitively high. Although 3PL encroachment undermines the platform’s profitability, the adoption of platform financing can transform such encroachment into a win-win scenario, benefiting both the retail platform and the 3PL. Regarding financing strategies, we identify a Pareto improvement region where platform financing benefits both the 3PL and the platform, irrespective of whether 3PL encroachment occurs. Interestingly, the 3PL’s encroachment strategy significantly affects its financing preferences: the 3PL prefers platform financing at a higher interest rate in the absence of encroachment but favors platform financing at a lower interest rate when encroachment occurs. Finally, we investigate the practicality of portfolio financing and verify the robustness of these findings. Our results provide valuable insights into the formulation of 3PL encroachment and financing strategies, offering actionable recommendations for retail platforms to respond effectively under diverse circumstances.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"289 ","pages":"Article 109717"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144605495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis highlights that the financial outcomes for supply chain members are strongly influenced by the interplay between the demand for CA and non-CA products and their production costs. Notably, the study reveals that increased CA prices in the market do not uniformly translate into increased profitability across the supply chain, and particularly do not necessarily benefit the farmers.

This study addresses this gap by utilizing a multiple-case study approach across diverse sectors, drawing on 30 interviews, to examine the diffusion of DTI across multi-tier supply chains, with particular attention to the Double Agency Role (DAR) of Tier-1 suppliers. Using social capital theory and agency theory, our findings emphasize the key role of social capital in the DAR of Tier-1 suppliers. The importance of relational and cognitive capital varies as we shift from downstream to upstream segments of the supply chain. Relational capital is crucial in the downstream segment (focal firm–Tier-1 supplier), while cognitive capital grows in significance as we move upstream (Tier-1–Tier-2 suppliers). Additionally, we create a matrix to illustrate the relationships among social capital, the DAR, and the effectiveness of DTI diffusion.
