Producer incentives and plant investments for Salmonella control in pork supply chains
研究了猪肉供应链中控制沙门氏菌的动态生产者激励系统和屠宰厂投资，发现联合系统比仅生产者激励系统降低预期总控制成本25%-83%。
This paper presents a unified analysis of dynamic producer incentive systems for Salmonella control in primary production and slaughter plant investments in Salmonella control measures. We identify optimal incentive system parameters and cost-effective control strategies for achieving various levels of Salmonella prevalence. We compare the performance measures of the combined plant-level control and producer incentive system with results obtained under a producer incentive system only. The combined system allocates control effort among producers and the slaughter plant, resulting in 25¿83 per cent lower expected total control cost for a wide range of threshold values.
