Coordination and competition in a closed loop supply chain

چکیده
This paper studies coordination and competition issues in a closed-loop supply chain. The supply chain consists of two competing manufacturers who collect the used-product for remanufacturing through a common retailer. We obtain the optimal wholesale prices, and the optimal fraction of collection for the two cases: case1 (uncoordinated system) and case2 (channel-coordinated system). Furthermore, by comparing the optimal results, it is found that channel coordination system is the best for two competitive closed-loop supply chains. At the end, we illustrate the model by a numerical example. Also sensitivity analysis is performed to see the impact of market size and acquisition cost on total channel profit.

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...
متن کاملCoordination of a Bi-Level Closed-Loop Supply Chain considering Economic and Green Transportation Modes
In recent years, comprehensive researches have provided ample support for the supply chains in the coordinated decision-making framework. However, the issue of closed-loop supply chain coordination considering various transportation modes has not yet been addressed in the literature. In this paper, a two-echelon closed-loop supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer is investigate...
متن کاملApplying a CVaR Measure for a Stochastic Competitive Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network under Disruption
This paper addresses a closed-loop supply chain network design problem, in which two different supply chains compete on retail prices by defining a price-dependent demand function. So, the model is formulated in a bi-level stochastic form to demonstrate the Stackelberg competition and associated uncertainties more precisely. Moreover, it is capable of considering random disruptions in the leade...
متن کاملA multi-objective model for closed-loop supply chain optimization and efficient supplier selection in a competitive environment considering quantity discount policy
Supplier selection and allocation of optimal order quantity are two of the most important processes in closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) and reverse logistic (RL). So that providing high quality raw material is considered as a basic requirement for a manufacturer to produce popular products, as well as achieve more market shares. On the other hand, considering the existence of competitive environ...
متن کاملConsidering chain to chain competition in forward and reverse logistics of a dynamic and integrated supply chain network design problem
In this paper, a bi-objective model is presented for dynamic and integrated network design of a new entrant competitive closed-loop supply chain. To consider dynamism and integration in the network design problem, multiple long-term periods are regarded during planning horizon, so that each long-term period includes several short-term periods. Furthermore, a chain to chain competition between t...

The impact of financial challenges on the profit of a supply chain, have caused the researcher to model the supply chain network by considering the operational and financial dimensions. Also, the establishment of a closed loop supply chain (CLSC) network has a high effect on economic profit. So, the purpose of this study is to design a stochastic closed loop supply chain network by considering ...
