Modelling Oligopolistic Closed Loop Supply Chains
This paper uses variational inequalities to model an oligopolistic closed-loop supply chain engaged in a Cournot pricing game. The manufacturers produce a homogenous product for a set of customer markets. The product can be comprised of both virgin materials and recycled materials obtained from used products returned by the customers. Society is modelled as an additional player whose objective ...
متن کاملDeterministic and Metaheuristic Solutions for Closed-loop Supply Chains with Continuous Price Decrease
In a global economy, an efficient supply chain as a main core competency empowers enterprises to provide products or services at the right time in the right quantity, at a low cost. This paper is to plan a single product, multi-echelon, multi-period closed loop supply chain for high-tech products (which have continuous price decrease). Ultimately, considering components rated to procurement, pr...
متن کاملImpact of government’s policies on competition of two closed-loop and regular supply chains
With progressing technologies and new features of production, new products compete with older ones in markets. Indeed, new products initiate contest with olden ones and this process repeats in different productions lifetime several times. In this situation recycling the olden products seems to be significant for supply chains. Governments often levy special tariffs for these products as a contr...
متن کاملStrategic and Tactical Aspects of Closed-Loop Supply Chains
Today’s common business practice of extracting non-renewable raw materials from the earth, processing them, turning them into products, selling the products to customers, and then having the customers dispose of the products in a landfill or through incineration is not sustainable. Eventually, the basic raw materials that are used to build most of the products our economy is based on will run o...
متن کاملProduction planning and control of closed-loop supply chains
Closed-loop supply chains are characterized by the recovery of returned products. In most of these chains (e.g. glass, metal, paper, computers, copiers), used products (also known as cores) are returned by or collected from customers. But returned products can also come from production facilities within the supply chain (production defectives, by-products. In cases with internal returns, recove...
