We consider the retailer being a channel leader who offers the vendor a leave-it-or-take-it contract, and the vendor being a price-setting firm who sells the one-of-a-kind goods through the exclusive channel. Under such a setting, the retailer decides on the term of R-S contract, and the vendor determines the retail price of the product. For each item sold, the retailer deducts an agreed-upon percentage from the price and remits the balance to the vendor. We model the decision-making of the two firms as a Stackelberg game, and carry out equilibrium analysis for both the centralized and decentralized regimes of the channel with consideration of three kinds of contracts: the fixed, the price-increasing, and the price-decreasing R-S percentage. Our analysis reveals that the contract with a price-decreasing R-S function, for example, the fee structure adopted by eBay.com, performs worse than the others. It persists in a consistent bias: the price-decreasing R-S induces the vendor to choose a higher price, and the retailer tends to receive a lower R-S percentage, which leads to less demand quantity, less profit, and channel inefficiency.

The economics of a closed-loop supply chain with remanufacturing / J-M. Chen in Journal of the operational research society (JORS), Vol. 63 N° 10 (Octobre 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of the operational research society (JORS) > Vol. 63 N° 10 (Octobre 2012) . - pp. 1323–1335 Titre : The economics of a closed-loop supply chain with remanufacturing Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : J-M. Chen, Auteur ; C.-I. Chang, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 1323–1335 Note générale : operational research Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : decision  analysis;  logistics;  closed-loop  supply  chain;  remanufacturing;  newsvendor Index. décimale : 001.424 Résumé : 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 newsvendor framework bearing the following questions in mind. Can a hybrid system operate cost-effectively? Can it outperform the manufacturing-only system? If yes, to what extent and under what conditions? If not, what are the key factors that cause underperformance? This study formulates a multi-variable optimization problem and performs mathematical and numerical analysis. Results show that the hybrid system does not outperform the manufacturing-only system under a generic setting, but achieves better performance under conditions with a higher degree of substitution and/or a lower remanufacturing cost. In this scenario, participating in remanufacturing is not only an issue of environmental responsibility, but a profit-boosting option.
