This paper investigates the effect of reward-penalty mechanism in a closed-loop supply chain with manufacturer, distributor and third party under technology licensing carbon constraints. There remanufacturing scenarios are developed, namely (1) manufacturer is engaged activities, (2) subcontracts to conduct remanufacturing, (3) undertakes manufacturer's authorization. We apply Stackelberg game ...

This study investigates the channel coordination issue of a supply chain with a risk-neutral manufacturer and a loss-averse retailer facing stochastic demand that is sensitive to sales effort. Under the loss-averse newsvendor setting, a distribution-free gain/loss-sharing-and-buyback (GLB) contract has been shown to be able to coordinate the supply chain. However, we find that a GLB contract re...

the objective of this research is to tackle the emerging problem of jointly determining theoptimal retail price, the replenishment cycle, and the cost of preservation technology investment from an integrated perspective among the supplier and the manufacturer. this paper deals an integrated single-manufacturer single-retailer supply chain model for deteriorating items under revenue sharing on p...

S. G. Deshmukh Director, IIITM Gwalior, New Delhi, India [email protected] This article proposes a methodology for supply chain planning in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The proposed framework integrates the use of selected well-proven techniques such as quality function deployment (QFD), interpretive structural modeling (ISM), analytic network process (ANP), and zero one goal p...

In this paper, we explore the issue of coordination in a manufacturer-retailer supply chain where the manufacturer is socially responsible and invests in CSR activities. On the other hand, the retailer invests in promotional efforts and uses a periodic review order-up-to policy for replenishing items. First, the decentralized decision-making structure is modeled to calculate the minimum accepta...

Previous researchers have developed ways of managing forward-oriented supply chains, and gave insight to solve single-stage inventory systems. In this study, we analyze an inventory system with traditional forward-oriented material flow as well as a reverse material flow supply chain. In the reverse material flow, the used products are returned, remanufactured and shipped to the retailer for re...

In the current world, the debate on the reinstatement and reuse of consumer prod-ucts has become particularly important. Since the supply chain of the closed loop is not only a forward flow but also a reverse one; therefore, companies creating integ-rity between direct and reverse supply chain are successful. The purpose of this study is to develop a new mathematical model for closed loop suppl...

The paper presents some of the results obtained by studying Petri nets’ capability for modeling and analysis of Supply Chain performances. It is well known that the absence of coordination in Supply Chain management causes the so-called Bullwhip Effect, in which fluctuations in orders increase as they move up the chain. A simple three-stage supply chain with one player at each stage – a retaile...

In the present day scenario of globalization, the concept of supply chain management (SCM) has gained significance as one of the 21 century manufacturing paradigms for improving organizational competitiveness. In this context, a two level supply chain model is developed considering a single manufacturer and single retailer. The main objective of this research is to demonstrate the optimality of...
