“…The traditional forward chains/logistics construct the flows from procurement of new materials through production of new products to sell them. The reverse chains/logistics are composed of the flows from collection of used products through recycling parts from the used products to reuse the recycled parts (Aras et al, 2004;Behret and Korugan, 2009;Ferguson et al, 2009;Fleischman et al, 1997;Guide and Wassenhove, 2001;Inderfurth, 2005;Konstantaras et al, 2010;Mukhopadhyay and Ma, 2009;Nenes et al, 2010;Pokharel and Liang, 2012;Teunter and Flapper, 2011;Wei et al, 2011;Wu, 2012, Watanabe et al, 2013, Watanabe and Kusukawa, 2014. Also, a supply chain which organizes the forward chains and the reverse chains has been called as a closed-supply chain, a reverse supply chain or a green supply chain (Bakal and Akcali, 2006;Barari et al, 2012, Fleischman et al, 1997Guide et al, 2003;Inderfurth, 2005;Kaya, 2010;Lee et al, 2011;Shi et al, 2010Shi et al, , 2011Tagaras and Zikopoulos, 2008;Thierry et al, 1995;Van Wassenhove and Zikopoulos, 2010;Watanabe et al, 2013, Watanabe and Kusukawa, 2014, Wei et al, 2012Yan and Sun, 2012;Tagaras, 2007, 2008).…”

“…However, note that it is the absolute requirement for all members under an integrated supply chain to bring the more expected profits to all of them than those under a decentralized supply chain. For the purposed of achievement of the increases in profits of all members under an integrated supply chain, a variety of supply chain coordination approaches between all members in a supply chain have been discussed by Cachon and Netessine (2004), Du et al (2011), Kaya (2010, Tsay et al (1999), Wei et al (2012), Wu (2012), Yan and Sun (2012), and Yano and Gilbert (2004).…”

“…The incorporation of the game theory into not only the optimal pricing strategy, but also the supply chain coordination in a RSC has been discussed by Du et al (2011), Kaya (2010, Wei et al (2012), Wu (2012), and Yan and Sun (2012). Here, it is necessary to analyze members' behaviors in both a supply chain (SC) and a RSC to determine the optimal operation for those SCs.…”

In recent years, for the purpose of solving the problem regarding environment protection and resource saving, certain measures and policies have been promoted to establish a reverse supply chains (RSCs) with material flows from collection of used products to reuse the recycled parts in production of products. It is necessary to analyze behaviors of RSC members to determine the optimal operation. This paper discusses a RSC with a retailer and a manufacturer and verifies the behavior strategies of RSC members which may change over time in response to changes parameters related to the recycling promotion activity in RSC. A retailer takes two behaviors: cooperation/non-cooperation in recycling promotion activity. A manufacturer takes two behaviors: monitoring/non-monitoring of behaviors of the retailer. Evolutionary game theory combining the evolutionary theory of Darwin with game theory is adopted to clarify analytically evolutionary outcomes driven by a change in each behavior of RSC members over time. The evolutionary stable strategies (ESSs) for RSC members' behaviors are derived by using the replicator dynamics. The analysis numerically demonstrates how parameters of the recycling promotion activity: (i) sale promotion cost, (ii) monitoring cost, (iii) compensation and (iv) penalty cost affect the judgment of ESSs of behaviors of RSC members.

“…They develop a dynamic programming formulation for determining the optimal price of remanufactured products, and optimal payment structure for the leased products. Other studies also assume that the demand of new products is different from that of the remanufactured products (Chen & Chang, 2012;Robotis et al, 2012;Wu, 2012aWu, , 2012b.…”

This study aims to investigate the optimal inventory and pricing policies in a decentralized production/remanufacturing system with multiple refurbished components. A basic inventory problem with deterministic demand rate and return rate is considered. The manufacturer purchases recycled components from the collector, and sells remanufactured products as well as new products to customers. It is assumed that the customers tend to pay different prices for remanufactured products and new products. Both the manufacturer and the collector try to maximize their own profits. The equilibrium of the problem is formulated as a variational inequality. Numerical examples show that the manufacturer and the collector can change the retail prices and return-facilitating costs to influence the product demands and the quantity of returned end-of-use products, such that no surplus or shortage of any products and components will occur.

This paper discusses a reverse supply chain (RSC) which consists of the process flows from procurement of used products collected from a market, through remanufacturing products from the used products, to sales of the products in a market. In general, it is conceivable for the RSC to face the uncertainty in quality of used products collected from a market. Inspection is one of efficient methods to deal with the problem regarding quality of used products. However, there is a trade-off between inspection cost and inspection accuracy. This paper focuses on the following five types of inspection: (1) 100% inspection, (2) sampling inspection, (3) sampling inspection with screening of rejected lots, (4) sampling inspection with screening of acceptable lots, and (5) no inspection, and determines the optimal operation consisting of the optimal number of procured used products and the optimal inspection policy. Numerical analysis clarifies not only how changes of conditions of the RSC affect the manufacturer's optimal operation but also features of each inspection type. In addition, from the results of numerical analysis, this paper shows the usability to add the proposed inspection in this paper, the sampling inspection with screening of acceptable lots, to choices of inspection type.
