Supply Chain Finance Decision Analysis with a Partial Credit Guarantee Contract

Considering the risk of SMEs, financial institutions have been cautious about the financing of SMEs. Supply chain finance, through the integration of information chain, capital chain, logistics chain, and so on, forms an internal circulation ecosystem, which is a breakthrough to solve the financing difficulties of SEMs. In the development of supply chain finance in China, the evaluation of the enterprise’s credit, collateral is basically carried out by the bank or the bank commissioned by third parties. Therefore, the main mode of supply chain finance in China is banking-oriented model. At the same time, as the most powerful leading enterprise in the supply chain, the core enterprise can help to improve the whole supply chain with the advantage of information and credit. The credit guarantee financing model, providing credit guarantee for the downstream retailers, gradually appeared.

In the supply chain, only a small number of scholars consider the impact of financial constraints on the supply chain decisions. The research about the decision-making of three echelon supply chain, retailer-manufacturer-bank, is also less. In this paper, the credit guarantee contract is integrated into the supply chain finance model, to study the decision-making of supply chain finance.

This paper studies the decision-making problem of three echelon supply chain, retailer-manufacturer-bank, in centralized and decentralized systems. Through the calculation, it is proved that under the credit guarantee of the core enterprise, the retailer has the optimal ordering strategy, and the core enterprise has the optimal wholesale price. Besides, the optimal profit of the SCF system in centralized system is always higher than the sum of the three SCF participants’ optimal profit in the decentralized system. The retailer’s loan coefficient and the credit guarantee coefficient can narrow the optimal profit gap between the decentralized and centralized system to a certain extent. It is embodied in two aspects. On the one hand, when the retailer’s loan coefficient is consistent with the wholesale price, that the retailer’s loan amount is 0, the optimal profit of the SCF system in centralized system is the same as the sum of the three SCF participants’ optimal profit in the decentralized system. Considering that the principal and interest of the retailer are the retailer’s total sales when the supply chain financial system is balanced, i.e. the retailer’s profit is zero. Hence, the retailer’s loan coefficient can narrow the optimal profit gap between the decentralized and centralized system to a certain extent. On the other hand, the smaller λ is, the narrower optimal profit gap between the decentralized and centralized system is. Considering that the bank’s expect profit is negative when the credit guarantee coefficient is too small, the credit guarantee coefficient can narrow the optimal profit gap between the decentralized and centralized system to a certain extent. There are also shortcomings in this paper. In this paper, the decisions of parameter a and λ are not taken into account in the game model, but the influences on the game result are analyzed. On the other hand, this paper considers a simpler supply chain model. The actual situation is that supply chain finance financing is facing a more complex supply chain system, and involves dynamic evolution.

A Comparison of Methods Used to Determine the Oleic/Linoleic Acid Ratio in Cultivated Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Cultivated peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oil and food crop. It is also a cheap source of protein, a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, and a component of many food products. The fatty acid composition of peanuts has become increasingly important with the realization that oleic acid content significantly affects the development of rancidity. And oil content of peanuts significantly affects flavor and shelf-life. Early generation screening of breeding lines for high oleic acid content greatly increases the efficiency of developing new peanut varieties. The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of methods used to classify individual peanut seed as high oleic or not high oleic. Three hundred and seventy-four (374) seeds, spanning twenty-three (23) genotypes varying in oil composition (i.e. high oleic (H) or normal/not high oleic (NH) inclusive of all four peanut market-types (runner, Spanish, Valencia and Virginia), were individually tested ...

Location Optimization of a Coal Power Plant to Balance Costs against Plant’s Emission Exposure

Fuel and its delivery cost comprise the biggest expense in coal power plant operations. Delivery of electricity from generation to consumers requires investment in power lines and transmission grids. Placing a coal power plant or multiple power plants near dense population centers can lower transmission costs. If a coalmine is nearby, transportation costs can also be reduced. However, emissions from coal plants play a key role in worsening health crises in many countries. And coal upon combustion produces CO 2 , SO 2 , NO x , CO, Metallic and Particle Matter (PM10 & PM2.5). The presence of these chemical compounds in the atmosphere in close vicinity to humans, livestock, and agriculture carries detrimental health consequences. The goal of the research was to develop a methodology to minimize the public’s exposure to harmful emissions from coal power plants while maintaining minimal operational costs related to electric distribution losses and coal logistics. The objective was...

Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Continuous Use of a Home-Use High-Frequency Facial Treatment Appliance

At present, many home-use beauty devices are available in the market. In particular, many products developed for facial treatment use light, e.g., a flash lamp or a light-emitting diode (LED). In this study, the safety of 4 weeks’ continuous use of NEWA TM , a high-frequency facial treatment appliance, every alternate day at home was verified, and its efficacy was evaluated in Japanese individuals with healthy skin aged 30 years or older who complained of sagging of the facial skin.  Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), melanin levels, erythema levels, sebum secretion levels, skin color changes and wrinkle improvement in the facial skin were measured before the appliance began to be used (study baseline), at 2 and 4 weeks after it had begun to be used, and at 2 weeks after completion of the 4-week treatment period (6 weeks from the study baseline). In addition, data obtained by subjective evaluation by the subjects themselves on a visual analog scale (VAS) were also analyzed. Fur...
