Incentive Policy Options for Product Remanufacturing: Subsidizing Donations or Resales?

Incentive Policy Options for Product Remanufacturing: Subsidizing Donations or Resales?

Remanufactured products offer better environmental benefits, and governments encourage manufacturers to remanufacture through various subsidy policies. This practice has shown that, in addition to product sales, remanufactured product can also achieve its value through social donation. Based on the remanufactured product value realization approaches, governments provide two kinds of incentive p...

Incentive and production decisions for remanufacturing operations

Models for Retail Pricing and Customer Return Incentive for Remanufacturing a Product

Used products can often be collected via customer returns by retailers in supply chains and remanufactured by producers to bring them back into “as-new” condition for resale. In this paper, mathematical models are developed for determining optimal decisions involving order quantity, retail pricing and reimbursement to customers for returns. These decisions are made in an integrated manner for a...

Product and Process Design for Successful Remanufacturing

Remanufacturing is an industrial process where used products are restored to useful life. This dissertation describes how products can be designed to facilitate the remanufacturing process. It also describes how the remanufacturing processes can be improved to be more efficient. When comparing remanufacturing with other end-of-life scenarios, it is hard from an environmental perspective to dete...

Policy options for value added to different levels of production

This paper presents an analytic procedure for the value added to different production levels with different policy options. The approach is stochastic and thus provides a framework for informed decision-making on productivity growth under uncertainty conditions. The model was applied to data collected from a firm and re-sults recommend that the firm should redevelop if in diversification and sy...
