| Abstract | This work develops an integrated operations mode of closed supply chain for vegetables exported from Yunnan Province to Thailand, which consists of three closed strategies: certificate of market access, multistage quality inspection, and information traceability system. From the combination and the results of quantitative and qualitative approaches, three parts are to be employed successively. Firstly, regarding the influencing factors of implementing the operations mode of closed supply chain for vegetables, results from the Logistic bivariate regression model and the interview can be explained. Secondly, for the impact of closed strategies on the overall supply chain performance, the balanced-scorecard model and structural equation model indicate that the overall supply chain performance is directly affected by the closed strategies, moreover, considerably influenced from the supply chain collaboration as well. Thus, if the three closed strategies can be effectively integrated to cooperate in a collaborative operating framework, the supply chain performance could be improved with creating significant value. Thirdly, for the profit simulation of closed strategies on core enterprises in vegetable supply chain, the system dynamics model witnesses the completion of simulation in which the accumulated profits of two vegetables represent a general a steady rise despite slight fluctuations within 180 days. The predication shows that if the three strategies are implemented simultaneously, the accumulated profits of broccoli and capsicum frutescens could be 1.7 times and 2.7 times respectively than that in conventional development in the off-season every year, which is promising about the future potentials along this supply chain. This study holds the potential to provide a new perspective of closer vertical integration for government sections, supply chain members, as well as scholars to manage and control the quality and safety of agricultural products. |
