Enhancing Closed-Loop Supply Chain in Global Supply Chain

open access: yes, 2018
This chapter explains the overview of Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC); CLSC activities and reverse logistics outsourcing in global supply chain; and the applications of CLSC in global supply chain. CLSC, the integration of the forward and reverse supply chains, is an emerging area of interest as firms seek to reduce the costs of product returns ...

The price of anarchy in closed‐loop supply chains

International Transactions in Operational Research, 2019
AbstractThis paper measures the worst‐case efficiency of price‐only contracts in closed‐loop supply chains (CLSCs) with the price of anarchy (PoA). We model a single‐period Stackelberg game in which a manufacturer sells new products to a retailer and collects used products with exogenous retail price and collection price via three alternative reverse ...

The economics of a closed-loop supply chain with remanufacturing [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of the Operational Research Society, 2012
This study deals with joint decisions on pricing and production lot-sizing in a closed-loop supply chain consisting of manufacturing and remanufacturing operations. This study emphasizes the economic analysis of this hybrid system with substitution between the new and the remanufactured versions of the same product. We develop analytical models under a

Closed-loop Supply Chains

2002
There are numerous examples and cases available of products that are being reused via remanufacturing or recycling, or combinations of reuse activities (Thierry et al. 1995, Krikke et al. 1999, Guide 2000, Toktay et al 1999, Fleischmann 2000. However, these products and their supply chains are not all the same with respect to a number of critical ...

Closed Loop Supply Chain

2015
This chapter gives the reader an understanding of the managerial aspects of the reverse flows with various kinds of returns in manufacturing firms. With the increasing streams of returns over the product life cycle, including repair and replacement, end-of-use return, end-of-life return, production return flows, and distribution return, effective ...

Value of Information in Closed Loop Supply Chains

Production and Operations Management, 2006
We explore the value of information (VOI) in the context of a firm that faces uncertainty with respect to demand, product return, and product recovery (yield). The operational decision of interest in matching supply with demand is the quantity of new product to order. Our objective is to evaluate the VOI from reducing one or more types of uncertainties,

A typology of remanufacturing in closed-loop supply chains

International Journal of Production Research, 2017
This manuscript defines a typology of remanufacturing based on multiple decades of direct observations across various remanufacturing industries. The manuscript also details how managers adapt their remanufacturing operations and strategies to the idiosyncrasies of the varied remanufacturing industries. The typology identifies four distinct typological

A Comparison of Forward and Closed-Loop Supply Chains

2020
Over the past years, closed-loop supply chains (CLSC) gained a considerable attention in both academia and industry due to environmental regulations and concerns about sustainability. Although various problems in CLSC’s are addressed by researchers, not much attention is given to the effects of closing the loop in supply chains.

Price Coordination in Closed-Loop Data Supply Chain

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
In this paper, we study pricing mechanisms’ performance and their effects on the participants in the data industry. We obtain analytical solutions in three pricing mechanisms, including the decentralized and centralized pricing, Nash Bargaining pricing, and revenue sharing mechanism.
