Despite documented benefits of remanufacturing, many manufacturers have yet to embrace the idea of tapping into remanufactured-goods markets. In this paper, we explore this dichotomy and analyze the effect of remanufacturable product design on market segmentation and product and trade-in prices by studying a two-stage profit-maximization problem in which a price-setting manufacturer can choose ...

Manufacturers often face a choice of whether to recover the value in their end-of-life products through remanufacturing. In many cases, firms choose not to remanufacture, as they are (rightly) concerned that the remanufactured product will cannibalize sales of the higher-margin new product. However, such a strategy may backfire for manufacturers operating in industries where their end-of-life p...

W e consider an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) who faces competition from an independent remanufacturer (IR). The OEM decides the quality of the new product, which also determines the quality of the competing remanufactured product. The OEM and the IR then competitively determine their production quantities. We explicitly characterize how the OEM competes with the IR in equilibrium. Spec...

Uncertainty in the supply of used products both in terms of quantity and quality has been identified by academics and practitioners as one of the most important challenges for firms to invest in closed-loop systems and product reusability. This article focuses on two types of uncertainties and their impact on these investments. Firstly we analyze the impact of remanufacturing cost uncertainty, ...

In the green manufacturing system that pursues the reuse of used products, the residual value of collected used products (CUP) hugely affects a variety of managerial decisions to construct profitable and environmental remanufacturing plans. This paper deals with a closed-loop green manufacturing system for companies which perform both manufacturing with raw materials and remanufacturing with co...

Cloud based approach for remanufacturing is becoming a new technical solution for sustainable management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). This paper presents a service-oriented framework of a Cloud Based Remanufacturing System (CBRS) for WEEE. In remanufacturing of WEEE, disassembly plays an important role. However, complete disassembly is rarely an ideal solution due to the...

Organizations are transforming their linear models into circular in order to become more sustainable. Remanufacturing is an essential element of the model; thus, there urgent need adopt remanufacturing. It can offer organizations economic and environmental advantages facilitate transition a economy (CE). Several aspects crucial use remanufacturing methods CE. Therefore, this study, we aimed dev...

One of the most successful ways to get word out about a product’s popularity across all types customers is through advertising. It has valuable direct influence on increasing product demand. The supply chain model developed for manufacturer and retailer, where advertisements are dependent advertisement rate been considered function that enhanced at diminishing concerning time, although growth s...
