Two-echelon pharmaceutical reverse supply chain coordination with customers incentives
TLDR
In this paper, the authors explore the role of providing incentives to customers in order to facilitate leftover returns and improve the sustainability for a real pharmaceutical reverse supply chain (RSC), and investigate the effect of having a proper coordination method between a producer of medications and third-party logistics (3PL) companies, responsible for collecting unwanted medications from customer zones.About:

Pharma Industry 4.0: Literature review and research opportunities in sustainable pharmaceutical supply chains
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the potential sustainability barriers of PSC and investigate how Industry 4.0 can be applied in the sustainable PSC paradigms, and find that the major challenges that inhibit inclusion of sustainability in the PSCs are: high costs and time consumption, little expertise and training, enforcement of regulations, the paucity of business incentives, ineffective collaborations and coordination across PSC, lack of objective benchmarks, and poor end-customer awareness.

Supply Chain Coordination with Contracts
TL;DR: This chapter extends the newsvendor model by allowing the retailer to choose the retail price in addition to the stocking quantity, and discusses an infinite horizon stochastic demand model in which the retailer receives replenishments from a supplier after a constant lead time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supply Chain Coordination with Revenue-Sharing Contracts: Strengths and Limitations
TL;DR: Several limitations of revenue sharing are identified to (at least partially) explain why it is not prevalent in all industries, including cases in which revenue sharing provides only a small improvement over the administratively cheaper wholesale price contract.

A strategic decision framework for green supply chain management
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a strategic decision framework that will aid managerial decision-making based on literature and practice in the area of environmentally conscious business practices and explore the applicability of a dynamic non-linear multi-attribute decision model, defined as the analytical network process, for decision making within the green supply chain.
