The used power batteries of new energy vehicles have become a combined issue environmental pollution, resource scarcity, and economic sustainability. Power battery recycling is inevitably becoming the key link in formation green closed-loop supply chain for cycle industry. This study establishes three-party evolutionary game model “new vehicle manufacturers, recyclers”, simulates dynamic evolut...

The development of optimization and mathematical models for closed loop supply chain (CLSC) design has attracted considerable interest over the past decades. However, the uncertainties that are inherent in the network design and the complex interactions among various uncertain parameters are challenging the capabilities of the developed tools. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to propose a n...

Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) management has evolved to be a mature area of supply chain management in its own right. Guide and Van Wassenhove (2009) describe how this research began with focusing on tactical and operational issues such as the disassembly of products or shop-floor control and coordination, and later started addressing issues pertaining to the entire reverse supply chain such ...

At the strategic level, closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) management involves long-term decisions regarding the location and capacity allocation of forward/reverse logistics facilities, the assignment of products to facilities, and the distribution of products between facilities and their end users or suppliers. Both demand and return handling must be taken into account, and the overall problem b...

This paper studies coordination and competition issues in a closed-loop supply chain. The supply chain consists of two competing manufacturers who collect the used-product for remanufacturing through a common retailer. We obtain the optimal wholesale prices, and the optimal fraction of collection for the two cases: case1 (uncoordinated system) and case2 (channel-coordinated system). Furthermore...

organizations in order to capture sustainability and competitive advantage need to pay attention to environmental issues throuoghout their supply chain. by decreasing costs, improving image and being protected against environmental laws it can lead to organizational competitive advantage. current research has been done investigating the relationship between green supply chain and capturing cope...

Corporate image is an important organizational resource that enables to create, strengthen and sustain competitive advantage. Different antecedents have been identified for corporate image in the literature including quality of products and services, consumer consideration or distribution system. Green supply chain management appears to be an antecedent of corporate image too. This study examin...

The textile and clothing industry generates much pollution and consumes a large amount of resources. Improper uses and disposal of clothing products make the problems much more severe. Fast fashion products shorten the valid lifecycle and generate more waste than regular clothing products. Considering the features of fashion products, a system of a rent-based closed-loop supply chain is develop...

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 ...

The paper investigates interactions in a two-period closed-loop supply chain consisting of a single manufacturer and a single remanufacturer. In the context of recycling and remanufacturing by the remanufacturer, the manufacturer and remanufacturer choose different production strategies. By comparing the costs, profits and equilibrium quantity of supply chain members in decentralized and centra...
