Modelling Oligopolistic Closed Loop Supply Chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 is concerned with the environmental performance of the system. It is used to explore the efficiency of the European Directive on waste of electronic and electronic equipment in promoting manufacturers to pursue closed loop activities.

Impact 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...

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...

Mathematical models have been used in many areas of supply chain management. In this paper, we present a mixed-integer non-linear programing (MINLP) model to solve a multi-period, closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs) with two echelons consist of producers and customers. In order to satisfy the demands, the producers are be able to order for materials in the beginning of each period for one or more...

Social responsibility is a key factor that could result in success and achieving great benefits for supply chains. Responsiveness and reliability are important social responsibility measures for consumers and all stakeholders that strategists and company managers should be concerned about them in long-term planning horizon. Although, presence of uncertainties as an intrinsic part of supply chai...

In recent years, the green supply chain has become a key strategy for the competitiveness of organizations, where the reverse and closed-loop supply chains are one way to achieve it. In the current competitive environment, the closed-loop supply chain helps reduce costs by re-using recyclables and reducing environmental pollution by reducing waste and extending product life. In this study, a cl...
