Research on Benefit Distribution in Pallet Pooling Alliances based on an Improved Shapley Value

Abstract

Against the backdrop of dual carbon goals, pallet pooling alliances have emerged as a crucial solution to address severe pallet wastage, extremely low utilization rates, and inadequate standardization. This paper analyzes the operational model of pallet pooling alliances, fully considers their characteristics, proposes an improved Shapley value benefit distribution model, and analyzes and verifies the model's effectiveness and rationality. Results indicate that the improved benefit distribution model can satisfy the benchmark rates of return for different stakeholders while fully considering the impact of factors such as resource investment, risk bearing, and actual contributions on benefit distribution within pallet pooling alliances. This provides valuable reference for promoting the development of pallet pooling alliances.
