Abstract Investing in the modular architecture design for mass customization (MC) products cannot only enable product variety, thereby improving MC ability to cope with consumer individual needs, but also increase interchangeability, reducing recycling and remanufacturing costs. This paper considers a closed‐loop supply chain (CLSC) MC, which manufacturer sells new, via retailer actively recycles used ones remanufacturing. We study optimal modularity level new best channel CLSC. One centralized two decentralized decision models are formulated, then equilibrium solutions among proposed compared analyzed. The government subsidy leadership further discussed extension. Different from traditional view that outsourcing activity is because of its proximity consumers, our results suggest directly can be terms level, rate, profits, total social surplus, decision‐making speed.

The present study aims to enhance the environmental and economic sustainability of any supply chain, where a single vendor collaborates with multiple buyers following vendor-managed inventory-based consignment stock policy for deteriorating products. In contrast prevailing literature, distinctive feature this research is that each every chain partner invests in green equipment initially, compliance carbon cap-and-trade regulation Paris Accord. Incorporating sequential remanufacturing used products transforms into closed-loop system, significantly diminishing reliance on fresh raw materials. Albeit traditional, classically determines optimal values six major decisions minimize total cost proposed model. terms results, vendor's production process new remanufactured items substantially reduces raises investments all partners. This pleads employ advanced demand forecasting tools shall mitigate impact fluctuating demand. Also, proposes uphold equitable partnerships between vendors endeavors, including emissions control. Investing upfront efficient collection crucial element sustainability.

Customizing customization in a 3D printing-enabled hybrid manufacturing supply chain

International Journal of Production Economics, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 268, С. 109103 - 109103

At-scale manufacture of customized products often requires both traditional processes and 3D Printing (3DP)-enabled additive manufacturing. Such hybrid manufacturing supports varying degrees product customization achieved through variance in the mix 3DP processes. Further, it configuration 3DP-enabled supply chain. Our research investigates decision-making by manufacturers to obtain optimal profits based on degree customization. A two-echelon manufacturer-retailer chain that distributes online offline customers' channel preferences is considered. The Stackelberg Game model was used study between leader (manufacturer) follower (retailer). We analyzed two models: centralized manufacturer-customized decentralized retailer-customized model. key findings our are as follows: Firstly, when unit production cost relatively small, for provider offer consumers fully products. Secondly, with model, an increase consumers' preference, will reduce overall profits. Thirdly, selling price not affected ratio manufacturer's total cost. Finally, increases degree, insensitive potential market size changes. have practical relevance firms seeking gain a competitive advantage deciding strategies

Impact of prices and collection rivalry in a sustainable closed-loop dual-channel supply chain under different power configurations

International Journal of Systems Science Operations & Logistics, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11(1)

Опубликована: Дек. 26, 2023

Market competitiveness and waste pollution are the two biggest problems facing modern world. The first one may be handled with appropriate production marketing tactics, while last can reclaimed by recycling any unused products employing disposable items that environmentally friendly. This study employs both integrated decentralised frameworks to evaluate forward reverse supply chain rivalry in a closed-loop dual-channel for sustainable products. Competition on buy-back prices is also studied beyond price competition chain. Two collectors collect used goods under buyback competition, then screen them, ship them back manufacturer. When they generate their using recycled new raw materials, manufacturers impose proper environmental requirements. manufacturer retailer, respectively, use online conventional distribution channels market primary goal of article investigate pricing, green innovation level, strategies players' optimal gains various scenarios. reveals if acceptance rate surpasses certain thresholds following screening acquired usable items, all participants benefit. Manufacturer-collector partnerships reduce more effectively than retailer-collector alliances, however, collectors' profits suffer.
