management model desirable to establish the life cycle of various commodities in different organizations is a closed-loop supply chain. in this paper, according to classic models in white and brown goods, a unified framework is used to implement in a military logistics company. it seems that using this model, improved lifecycle management, environmental conservation and improvement of services ...

This article studies a two-period, closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) with manufacturer or retailer recycling. It establishes model analysis framework to analyze pricing optimization strategies and the channel-mode selection of electric vehicle batteries considers recycling scenarios. When recycles, it needs invest capital build its channel so suffers from constraints. For this reason, retailers c...

In this paper, a closed-loop location-inventory problem for spare parts is presented. The proposed supply chain network includes two echelons, namely (1) distribution centers (DCs) and repairing centers (RCs) and (2) operational bases. Multiple spare parts are distributed among operational bases from distribution centers in the forward supply chain and failed spare parts from operational bases ...

A simple system dynamics model of a traditional/closed loop supply chain system is investigated. Particularly, the effect of remanufacture, remanufacturing lead-time and the return rate on the inventory variance and bullwhip effect were studied. Our results clearly showed that the bullwhip in the closed loop supply chain is bigger than one in traditional supply chain and foreign to the collecti...

Supply chain management and closed-loop supply chain management (CLSCM) have developed into established concepts in recent years. The related material cycles and product returns form an important part of all related processes with high potential for reducing environmental burden. The paper proposes a framework for (environmentally triggered) closed-loop supply chain management, spanning three d...

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...

Green manufacturers are faced with decision problems whether to acquire the quality information from third-party assessment agencies and disclose other supply chain members. While existing research of closed-loop (CLSC) has not considered voluntary mandatory disclosure, this study considers disclosure strategies a green manufacturer after acquiring in chain. (1) The first evaluates performance ...

Modeling and optimal solving of supply chain management problems lead to efficient decision making in strategic planning and supply chain operations, resulting in a competitive advantage. Today, with the planning of a sustainable supply chain, in addition to achieving economic goals, it is possible to meet social and environmental objectives and considerations. This research deal with sustainab...

A rich mixture of government incentives and fees to encourage the collection of used products and the subsequent remanufacturing has been increasingly utilized both domestically and internationally. In this paper, toward a fuller understanding of such government participation in closed-loop supply chains (CLSC’s), we construct and analyze a series of game-theoretic CLSC models with remanufactur...
