Abstract

Cost control in procurement is critical for the mobile manufacturing industry, where rising costs of raw materials and components pose significant challenges. To address this, we developed an improved SEIRS epidemic model to study cost control propagation among contract units in mobile projects. Simulation results, based on evaluations from 12 experts, show that infected contract units maintain stable inventories and high infectivity, spreading cost issues to other units. Individual measures are insufficient to resolve these issues, leading to increasing procurement costs. Effective strategies include strengthening supplier management, enhancing procurement personnel’s cost control skills, improving organizational structures and processes, establishing clear assessment indicators, and enhancing cost discrepancy detection. This research expands the application of the SEIRS model, providing new insights and scientific tools for cost control in mobile manufacturing projects.
