Motivated by the remanufacturing industry practice, a refurbishing system, composed of a collection center and a refurbishing center, is studied, where the refurbishing and inspecting costs are dependent on the quality of returned items. First a stochastic profit model is formulated, to make decisions on how many returned items are collected and what quality levels of the returned items are refurbished,...
The return payment policy was considered when the firm collected used products. An inventory decision problem with two replenishment channels including the forward channel and the remanufacturing channel was proposed. Under the assumption that the return payment price influences the probability of product return, a stochastic inventory model with dependent return and demand was given. The optimal...
This paper considers such a supply chain, there is one manufacturer who produces two types of products with substitution, and sells the two types of products to two different retailers respectively, then the two retailers sell the two products to end consumer. Using game-theoretical approach, each firm's optimal decisions are established, also the role of the manufacturer and the two retailers over...
In this paper we consider a warehouse space rent problem in product return logistics with consideration of the usufruct lateral transfer. The problem is discussed for the two situations of definite and free distribution functions for the returned products, respectively. First, an optimal usufruct lateral transfer policy is derived in the form of complete pooling. Then, we obtain the optimal rent policy...
