Environmental problems are recognized as one of the most serious issues in these last few decades. Green supply chain management and sustainable supply chain management have gained increasing attention within both academia and industry. Previous studies proposed a closed-loop supply chain model and a negotiation protocol for increasing the amount of reused products and reducing waste products. ...

*Correspondence: [email protected] School of Economics and Management, Tongji University, Siping Road, 200092 Shanghai, China Abstract This paper considers a pricing and remanufacturing problem in closed-loop supply chain which includes one dominant manufacturer and one retailer under uncertain environment. The remanufacturing cost, market demand, and collection cost are characterized as unce...

Abstract Over the course of last decades, closed-loop supply chains (CLSC) and reverse logistics issues have attracted increasing attention owing to strict environmental laws, social responsibilities, economic interests, customer awareness. Hence, issue chain has emerged as a field research in new era. This received much because it allows recyclable products return their original cycle. Therefo...

Along with forward supply chain organization needs to consider the impact of reverse logistics due to its economic advantage, social awareness and strict legislations. In this paper, we develop a system dynamics framework for a closed-loop supply chain with fuzzy demand and fuzzy collection rate by incorporating product exchange policy in forward channel and various recovery options in reverse ...

This paper aims to investigate the uncertainty factors that impact the collection strategy of a remanufacturing closed-loop supply chain. The basis of this type of supply chain is the collection of used products, without which the remanufacturing of new products would be out of the question. In this paper, we considered the effect of stochastic disturbance on the collection process in a closed-...

In recent years, closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) operation has been an important method to recover waste materials and products for resource conservation and environmental protection and paid more attention in industry and academia. We establish a dynamic model for closedloop supply chain with product recovering with the consideration of some uncertainties including remanufacturing rate, dispos...

the manufacturing organizations today are having a competition of supply chain versus supply chain. existing research work fails to relate human metrics with supply chain performance. the authors intend to empirically assess the effects of human metrics on supply chain performance in the context of indian manufacturing organizations. a rigorous literature review has identified 12 variables. the...

Sustainability in supply chains is increasingly becoming one of the main themes in operations and supply chain management literature and business practices. Within the framework of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), this paper studies the sequential pricing and stocking decisions in a closed-loop supply chain when the firm makes its sourcing decisions in dual supply channels including ...

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...
