“…Guide and Van Wassenhove [20] describe the evolution of the research on closed-loop supply chains. Subramoniam et al [24] present a review of the literature on remanufacturing operations for the automotive aftermarket. Ilgin and Gupta [25] systematically investigate the existing literature by classifying over 540 published references into four major categories, namely the environmentally conscious product design, reverse and closed-loop supply chains, remanufacturing, and disassembly.…”

Cooperation or Competition? Channel Choice for a Remanufacturing Fashion Supply Chain with Government Subsidy

Abstract:In this paper, we address the problem of choosing an appropriate channel for the marketing channel structure of remanufactured fashion products. To be specific, we consider a remanufacturer who has two options for selling the products: (1) provide the remanufactured products to a manufacturer, then the manufacturer sells both new products and the remanufactured products to customers, and (2) sell the remanufactured products directly to customers. Because of the relatively low acceptance of remanufactured products and environment consciousness of customers in developing countries like China, we model the two scenarios as decentralized remanufacturing supply chains, with the manufacturer being the Stackelberg leader and the government offering subsidy to the remanufacturer to incentivize remanufacturing activities. We find that the subsidy can incentivize remanufacturing activity regardless of the remanufacturer's channel choice. A "too high" or "too low" subsidy makes the remanufacturer compete with the manufacturer, and an intermediate subsidy results in cooperation between the two members of the remanufacturing supply chain. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2014, 6 7293 Meanwhile, if the customers' acceptance for remanufactured products is higher, the remanufacturer will be more likely to compete with the manufacturer. However, the remanufacturer's optimal channel choice may be inefficient in the sense of social welfare and environmental protection.

“…An increasing awareness for environmental impacts [2], combined with increasing material demand [3] and volatile resource and energy prices persuade industries to seek alternative End-Of-Life (EOL) scenarios. Sustainability is gaining importance, most notably because policy intervenes with the objective of reducing the environmental impact of EOL products [4] or to reduce negative societal externalities, which is the purpose of the Dodd-Frank Act in the United States (US) regarding the trade of conflict minerals [5] (Sec.…”

Cascade Use and the Management of Product Lifecycles

This paper explores the challenges related to the End-Of-Life phase of products and circular systems of reuse and recycling within the commonly established frameworks of product lifecycles. Typically, Original Equipment Manufacturer-centric supply chain perspectives neglect the complexity at the End-Of-Life where many third-parties are involved in reuse and recycling activities. Based on a review of product lifecycle and related recycling literature, this study proposes the application of 'cascades', a term originally coined within the biomass domain. We propose and subsequently apply the 'cascade use methodology' and identify additional and value-adding End-Of-Life solutions for products and materials. The adoption of cascade utilization into product lifecycles is analyzed and critically discussed using case studies from independent remanufacturing and tire recycling, focusing on the End-Of-Life while excluding business models as renting or sharing. Although theoretically feasible, we argue that the practical adoption of 'cascade use' deserves more attention from researchers and practitioners in order to become an integral part of the comprehensive management of product lifecycles.

Abstract:Purpose: This study aims to analyse the benefits of PSS for interested parties in remanufacturing, including manufacturing companies, original equipment manufacturers, and customers. Existing studies examining the Product-Service System (PSS) focus on the relationship between two parties, either between Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and customers, or between remanufacturers with customers. This study attempts to fill a gap by investigating how the PSS benefits OEMs, remanufacturers and customers.Design/methodology/approach: This research used a case study method to examine the practical application of PSS in remanufacturing companies. A qualitative approach was employed to analyse emerging phenomena in the case companies, and the researcher collaborated with the involved parties to create new knowledge. Thus, this research study can offer theoretical as well as practical insights.Findings: All parties involved in PSS consistently gain benefit from adopting the practice. From the perspective of remanufacturers, the major benefit of adopting PSS is that it can help reduce uncertainties regarding the timing, quantity and quality of returned cores. Due to these reduced uncertainties, remanufacturers benefit from higher profitability and more environmentally friendly products. These benefits have multiplier effects on both customers and OEMs.-323-Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management -https://doi. org/10.3926/jiem.2050 Practical implications: This study offers benefits to remanufacturing managers in the sense that it provides guidance for them to better manage remanufacturing operations so that they become more environmentally friendly and profitable.Originality/value: This study represents the first time that the benefits of PSS in supporting remanufacturing have been viewed from an integrative perspective -i.e. manufacturers, remanufacturers, and customers.
