Strengthening the wood supply chain in Heilongjiang Province requires addressing reliance on overseas materials and improving manufacturing efficiency. Enhanced logistics information platforms and balanced market demand are key to boosting resilience and sustainable development.
Area of Science:
- Forestry and Environmental Science
- Supply Chain Management
- Economic Systems Analysis
Background:
- Global ecological issues and economic volatility necessitate resilient wood supply chains for sustainable industry development.
- Heilongjiang Province, a major Chinese wood producer and consumer, faces significant supply chain challenges.
- Existing supply chain models lack comprehensive analysis of resilience factors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a system dynamics model for the Heilongjiang Province wood supply chain.
- To analyze the influence of infrastructure, economic, and ecological factors on supply chain resilience.
- To identify key drivers and interactions affecting wood supply chain dynamics.
Main Methods:
- System dynamics modeling using Anylogic software.
- Integration of resilience factors across infrastructure, economic, and ecological domains.
- Simulation and analysis of supply chain system dynamics.
Main Results:
- Dependence on imported raw materials complicates supply chain management.
- Logistics information platforms are crucial for effective coordination.
- Manufacturing sector responsiveness needs improvement; efficiency gains are vital.
- Sales sector performance is sensitive to market demand fluctuations.
- Balancing domestic and international customer bases stabilizes production and sales.
Conclusions:
- The study provides a clear overview of the Heilongjiang wood supply chain's current state.
- Findings offer a theoretical foundation for regional wood supply chain management.
- Insights are valuable for enhancing supply chain resilience in comparable regions.
