There is an increasing need for company awareness of environmental problems and sustainable business practices. As a post-consumption activity, the reverse supply chain aims to extract value from products at the end of their lifecycle; it offers a means of pursuing sustainability through recycling, remanufacturing, refurbishing, and reusing. This study develops a series of procedures for implem...

This paper considers a two-level supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and two buyers. The manufacturer produces one type of products at a finite rate and replenishes them to the buyers. Each buyer’s demand is sensitive to his selling price and the backorder is allowed at the buyers. Moreover, it is assumed that the buyers delay paying for goods to the manufacturer and two types of delay in...

Collecting and remanufacturing worn-out products provide significant financial advantages. In this research, we examine how ball gate valves, which are important pieces of equipment in the oil gas industry, could improve profitability closed-loop supply chain. regard, four different scenarios for collecting processes considered: (1) manufacturer collects product from consumers remanufactures th...

A reverse supply chain, as a post-consumption activity, aims at extracting value from products at end of their life cycle (Mafakher and Nasiri, Journal of Cleaner Production 59: 185–196, 2013). As well, company’s awareness is attracting increasing attention toward sustainable business practices. Open-innovation is a typical example of coordinative activity that a manufacturer should share a pro...

Based on the uncertain market demand, this paper studies sharing strategy of each main body closed-loop supply chain for demand prediction information and introduces variable advertising effect into model. Firstly, constructs a manufacturer-led Stackelberg game model based two-level chain. Secondly, manufacturer mode retailer are set up, influence is discussed in mode. Finally, conclusion propo...
