Game Theoretical Perspectives On Dual-Channel Closed Loop Supply Chain With A Reward-Driven Remanufacturing Policy

This paper evaluates the impact of reward driven remanufacturing policy and pricing schemes on the dualchannel supply chain competition. In the proposed model, a manufacturer sells products both through a retailer and directly to end users in the forward supply chain. In the reverse supply chain, the manufacturer collects used products to remanufacture them into new ones. Mathematical models for the supplier Stackelberg, retailer Stackelberg, Nash game, and centralized scenarios are developed to define pricing decisions and remanufacturing strategies. The optimality of all proposed models is analyzed theoretically
