Mathematical Modelling of B2C Consumer Product Supply Strategy Based on Nonessential Demand Pattern

The influence of consumer psychological effects on customer needs has become a normal state of product sales models in the consumer goods supply chain field. The literature lacks systematic research on the mechanism through which consumer psychological effects affect customer needs. On the basis of analyzing and sorting out the literature and viewpoints, this paper establishes a mathematical model to investigate how manufacturers design and plan product supply strategies based on nonessential demand patterns under three different sales models. Finally, by solving the mathematical model, the optimal production volume, the optimal commodity price, and the maximum profit that can be obtained by the manufacturer are obtained, and the correctness of the model is verified via numerical calculation. The study results explain the relationships among commodity costs, demand, and commodity pricing, which are significant for the study of consumer psychology and can further provide a beneficial reference for manufacturers in various industries.
