How Collection Cost Structure Drives a Manufacturer's Reverse Channel Choice
TLDR
Using collection cost functions that capture collection rate and collection volume dependency, it is shown that the optimal reverse channel choice is driven by how the cost structure moderates the manufacturer's ability to shape the retailer's sales and collection quantity decisions.Abstract:
This note discusses the impact of collection cost structure on the optimal reverse channel choice of manufacturers who remanufacture their own products. Using collection cost functions that capture collection rate and collection volume dependency, we show that the optimal reverse channel choice (retailer- vs. manufacturer-managed collection) is driven by how the cost structure moderates the manufacturer's ability to shape the retailer's sales and collection quantity decisions.read more

Reverse logistics and closed-loop supply chain: A comprehensive review to explore the future
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to review recently published papers in reverse logistic and closed-loop supply chain in scientific journals and identify gaps in the literature to clarify and to suggest future research opportunities.
Journal ArticleDOI
A literature review and perspectives in reverse logistics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a literature review on reverse logistics (RL) and outline the future directions for research based on research gap analysis, which may be useful for academicians, researchers and practitioners for better understanding of RL and guidance for future research.

Channel leadership, performance and coordination in closed loop supply chains
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of different closed-loop supply chains under different channel leadership is investigated. And the authors find that the retailer-led model gives the most effective CLSC and analytically reveal that the remanufacturing system's efficiency is highly related to a supply chain agent's proximity to the market.

Managing new and remanufactured products to mitigate environmental damage under emissions regulation
TL;DR: This paper investigates the impact of emissions taxes on the optimal production and pricing decisions of a manufacturer who could remanufacture its own product using a leader-follower Stackelberg game model, and delineates how emissions taxes can be instituted to realize the inherent economic, environmental and social benefits of remanufacturing.

Channel structure and pricing in a dual-channel closed-loop supply chain with government subsidy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a dual-channel closed-loop supply chain where a manufacturer can distribute new products through an independent retailer and sell remanufactured products via a third-party firm or platform (3P) in the presence of possible government subsidy.

Closed-Loop Supply Chain Models with Product Remanufacturing
TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of choosing the appropriate reverse channel structure for the collection of used products from customers and shows that simple coordination mechanisms can be designed such that the collection effort of the retailer and the supply chain profits are attained at the same level as in a centrally coordinated system.

Selling to the Newsvendor: An Analysis of Price-Only Contracts
TL;DR: A mild restriction satisfied by many common distributions is developed that assures that the manufacturer's problem is readily amenable to analysis, and factors that may lead the manufacturer to set a wholesale price below that which would maximize her profit are explored.

The Effect of Competition on Recovery Strategies
Mark Ferguson,L. Beril Toktay +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop models to support a manufacturer's recovery strategy in the face of a competitive threat on the remanufactured product market, and find that a firm may choose to remanufacture or preemptively collect its used products to deter entry even when the firm would not have chosen to do so under a pure monopoly environment.

Managing New and Remanufactured Products
TL;DR: It is found that if remanufacturing is very profitable, the original-equipment manufacturer may forgo some of the first-period margin by lowering the price and selling additional units to increase the number of cores available for remanufactured in future periods.

Managing product returns for remanufacturing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a framework for analyzing the profitability of reuse activities and showed how the management of product returns influences operational requirements, and how operational issues are strongly affected by the approach used to manage product returns.
