“…Similar issues related to the uncertain quality of returns and the variable nature of lead times can be found in many other remanufacturing industries, such as the cell phone or automobile industries Sharma 2016, Heydari et al 2018). Essentially, not all used parts need to follow the same route of operations or work centres (Korugan et al 2013). In this regard, it is known that ignoring such quality uncertainty may result in extensive additional costs, even for low levels of quality variability (Zikopoulos, 2017).…”

“…In light of this, the mean remanufacturing lead time may be associated with the average quality of the products returned during the period, i.e. the better the quality, the lower the average lead time (Korugan et al 2013, Masoudipour et al 2017. Thus, by modelling different levels of this factor, we consider different quality scenarios (see e.g.…”

“…When addressing the uncertainty associated with the quality of recycled products, several scenarios are considered. Some of these scenarios posit that the quality of the recycled products follows an exponential distribution [12,30], whereas others presume a normal distribution [31]. To assess the robustness of varying quality distributions, we independently model different quality distributions for the purpose of comparison and validation.…”

In light of resource scarcity and environmental challenges, remanufacturing bolsters resource efficiency and fosters a circular economy, with policy support being pivotal for its development. Although previous studies have predominantly concentrated on the economic benefits of remanufacturing, comparatively less emphasis has been placed on its carbon emissions and the differentiated incentive-penalty policies for various recycled products. Our objective is to evaluate the impact of remanufacturing policies, such as carbon taxes and incentive-penalty schemes, on multi-period hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing closed-loop systems, considering different carbon emissions for new and remanufactured products. We investigate optimal recycling and production strategies for enterprises under two distinct quality distributions (exponential and normal) and analyze the government’s incentive and penalty amounts for recycled products at various quality levels. In order to ensure the robustness of the variable quality distribution, we employ a genetic algorithm and a particle swarm optimization algorithm for comparative verification and problem solving. The study’s findings reveal that: (1) irrespective of the quality distribution, enterprises consistently exhibit a preference for recycling products of the same quality level, and the range of quality for which the government offers incentives or imposes penalties remains fundamentally constant; (2) subsidies may be granted for recycled products with a quality level ranging from 0.2 to 0.4, whereas recycled products with a quality level exceeding 0.4 are subject to penalties.

“…However, few of the extant literature on remanufacturing mode selection take this difference into accounts. Additionally, the quality of EOL products is heterogeneous and uncertain (Korugan et al, 2013), which affects the remanufacturing cost of EOL products. The higher the quality of EOL products, the lower the remanufacturing cost.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate remanufacturing operational strategies considering uncertain quality of end-of-life (EOL) products and differential consumers’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for new products and provide suggestions on the remanufacturing mode selection for the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).Design/methodology/approachThis study considers three remanufacturing modes, i.e. in-house, outsourcing and authorization modes. By establishing and comparing decision models of three modes from the perspectives of profit, consumer surplus and environment, the optimal remanufacturing mode is discussed.FindingsThe results suggest that if the OEM’s remanufacturing capability is high, the in-house mode brings to the highest environmental performance, OEM’s profit and consumer surplus. Otherwise, the outsourcing mode (authorization) is the best benefit to environment (consumers if the unit production cost of new products is not too high). As for the preference of two decision-makers to outsourcing and authorization modes, if the difference of consumers’ WTP for new products is low, the OEM prefers the outsourcing mode; otherwise, the OEM prefers the authorization mode. The preference of the third-party remanufacturer (TPR) to remanufacturing mode is affected by consumers’ WTP for remanufactured products, WTP difference for new products and remanufacturing quality level standard.Practical implicationsThese results can provide operational insights into how to select remanufacturing mode when the quality of EOL products is uncertain and consumers’ WTP for new products is different under three remanufacturing modes.Originality/valueThis paper is among the first to investigate the joint effects of EOL products’ uncertain quality and differential consumers’ WTP for new products on the operational strategies and performance under different remanufacturing modes.
