This work investigates how bargaining power affects negotiations between manufacturers and reverse logistics providers in reverse supply chains under government intervention using a novel three-stage reverse supply chain model for two scenarios, a reverse logistics provider alliance and no reverse logistics provider alliance. Utilizing the asymmetric Nash bargaining game, this work seeks equili...

In recent researches, vendor managed inventory (VMI) policy is rarely considered for deteriorating items.   This study considered the supply chain partner’s collaboration via a VMI system and provided an EOQ model for a two-level supply chain (single supplier - single retailer) to examine the inventory management proceedings for VMI and non-VMI supply chains. By a new approach in modeling, the ...

In this work, the design of supply chains with reverse flows is studied in a multiobjective context. A MILP model is developed for the optimization of the supply chain structures where both environmental impacts and costs are considered. An optimal Pareto front is obtained that plays an important role in evaluating the best locations of all the entities in the supply chain while accounting for ...
