Considering a fresh supply chain consisting of one supplier and retailer, this paper studies the pricing coordination under altruistic fairness concern supplier. Based on centralized decision Stackelberg game theory, decentralized model supplier’s is constructed, analyzed, cost-sharing contract based designed for coordination. The results show that can inspire retailer to improve freshness-keep...

This work aims to develop an efficient sensing device detect milk freshness when stored at typical home conditions. The synthesis of the pH-sensitive optode array, experimental setup for monitoring, and array images acquisition procedure are presented. employment various chemometric tools on RGB triplets visualize, compare, predict spoilage commercial types is discussed. conclusions drawn from ...

A dual-hop status update system aided by energy-harvesting (EH) relays with finite data and energy buffers is studied in this work. To achieve timely updates, the best should be selected to minimize average age of information (AoI), which a recently proposed metric evaluate freshness. The AoI minimization can formulated as Markov decision process (MDP), but state space for capturing channel buf...

As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can provide flexible and efficient services concerning the sparse network distribution, we study a UAV-assisted mobile edge computing (MEC) network. To satisfy freshness requirement of IoT applications, age information (AoI) is incorporated as an important performance metric. Then, path planning problem formulated to simultaneously minimize AoIs devices energy...

Today, consumers are increasingly demanding higher quality in fresh agricultural products. The issues that need to be addressed now how keep products and coordinate the operations of supply chain participants. Three decision models developed this paper using Stackelberg model: supplier-led making, retailer-led centralized making. comparative model analysis shows following: (1) Regardless model,...

This study investigates a supply chain of fresh produce with consideration option contracts and where stochastic market demand depends on freshness-keeping effort. Firstly, we investigate benchmark scenario an integrated freshness effort decreases in both the quality quantity while chain. Secondly, introduce call, put, bidirectional to mitigate risks retailer. A call contract can reduce underag...
