Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the global economic growth slows, countries have developed supply chain management and logistics strategies to cope with the change in the market. However, the supply chain often fractures, and unstable problems related to logistics service quality often appear in operations. In order to ensure the sustainable development of the economy and society, building tough supply chains using artificial intelligence, big data, and Internet of things for logistics services has become the focus of modern enterprises, and both academia and industry need to carry out theoretical explorations and practice operations.

Following these drivers, this Special Issue focuses on the following research perspectives: a sustainable supply chain and resilient supply chain relationship; sustainable supply chain and smart logistics service models; the impact of modern technology on transportation logistics service design; the impact of man–machine hybrid behavior on supply chain management and logistics management decisions; how a sustainable supply chain removes risk; and the innovative design of the logistics service supply chain.

In order to study the selection of coping strategies for the manufacturer facing different supply interruption risks, this paper constructs a supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one supplier and uses no-taking coping strategies as the benchmark model to analyze the resilience of supply chain formed by the manufacturer’s adoption of penalty mechanism, emergency supplier mechanism, and strategic investment mechanism. The research shows that in the face of various levels of supply interruption risk, the manufacturer adopting a strategic investment mechanism will achieve high resilience, enabling the manufacturer and supplier to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. In some cases of high interruption risk, the manufacturer adopting an emergency supplier mechanism can achieve higher chain resilience compared with not taking emergency measures, but its ability to improve supply chain resilience is weaker than that of a strategic investment mechanism. The penalty mechanism is applicable to situations where some interruption risk is characterized by low risk, and in such cases, both the penalty mechanism and the strategic investment mechanism can enhance the resilience of the supply chain.
