Analysis of the Production Strategy of Mask Types in the COVID-19 Environment
This addresses the challenge for enterprises and policymakers in efficiently allocating resources for mask production to control the epidemic, but it appears incremental as it applies an existing method to a new context.
The study tackled the problem of determining optimal production timing and mask types (disposable medical masks and KN95 masks) during the COVID-19 pandemic, using evolutionary game competition analysis to guide resumption of work and production with positive effects.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 in December 2019, medical protective equipment such as disposable medical masks and KN95 masks have become essential resources for the public. Enterprises in all sectors of society have also transformed the production of medical masks. After the outbreak, how to choose the right time to produce medical protective masks, and what type of medical masks to produce will play a positive role in preventing and controlling the epidemic in a short time. In this regard, the evolutionary game competition analysis will be conducted through the relevant data of disposable medical masks and KN95 masks to determine the appropriate nodes for the production of corresponding mask types. After the research and analysis of the production strategy of mask types, it has a positive effect on how to guide the resumption of work and production.
