Analysis of the Production Strategy of Mask Types in the COVID-19 Environment

TL;DR

This paper analyzes the strategic decisions in producing different types of masks during COVID-19 using evolutionary game theory to guide production and resumption of work.

Contribution

It introduces an evolutionary game model to determine optimal mask production timing and types during the pandemic.

Findings

Identifies optimal timing for mask production shifts.

Provides strategic guidance for mask production decisions.

Supports epidemic control through production strategy analysis.

Abstract

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.
