Economic and Environmental Performance of Fashion Supply Chain: The Joint Effect of Power Structure and Sustainable Investment

2017

Fashion supply chain members now search for trade-offs between sustainable investment and the related incentives, such as savings on environmental taxes and gains in incremental demands. To evaluate the economic and environmental performance of sustainable investment from a power perspective, we develop an analytical model to study a two-echelon sustainable supply chain consisting of one retailer and one manufacturer with three different power structures. We derive the optimal solutions for various cases associated with different supply chain power structures and sustainable investors. Though it is beneficial for both the manufacturer and retailer to make sustainable investment, they often utilize high power to gain economic benefit with less sustainable investment. Interestingly, the follower with less supply chain power has more incentive to make a sustainable effort to achieve a higher profit. The optimal amount of sustainable investment in the apparel manufacturer investment case is greater than that in the retailer investment case in most scenarios.

“…Several papers that conducted such a comparison also examined a partial refund policy (Li, Xu and Li 2013;Su 2009;Yalabik, Petruzzi and Chhajed 2005). Hsiao and Chen (2012) found that the optimal refund policy may exceed the full price of the item.…”

“…However, Hu, Li and Govindan (2014) and Su (2009) claimed that the optimal refund policy depends upon the refunded product's salvage value. According to Li, Xu and Li (2013), retailers should offer either a lenient return policy with a low quality and a low price or a strict return policy with a high quality and a high price. Moreover, Yu and Goh (2012) stated that retailers should enforce a return policy that takes the nature of products and their condition upon return into consideration.…”

“…Li et al [32] chose Dell Computers Corp. as a case study to examine the impact of direct distributor's return policy and the quality policy on the return decisions by developing several theoretical models, which described that return is sensitive to quality. This paper assumes that consumer's choice determines market demand.…”

To face the reality of resources exhaustion, the significance of recycling and remanufacturing in the closed-loop chain has become quite evident. This paper constructs a competitive recycling and remanufacturing model of the closed-loop supply chain through a case study of Midea Corp. and Gree Corp. and explores the impact of two recycling modes on total revenue of the supply chain and market share. The simulation results show that the total revenue of the supply chain will benefit from the increasing coverage points by the third party and the increasing environmental awareness of certain regions. The retailers show more enthusiasm of recycling through certain amendment of the contract between manufacturers and retailers. The time of payment could be shortened in closed loop. Moreover, the improvement of recycling mechanism of the retailers can enlarge the share of supply chain market. Guiding role of the proposed model and the simulation results played in establishing a better supply chain mode is presented.
