System Dynamics Modelling of Remanufacturing and Recycling Mode Based on Closed-Loop Across-Chain Competition

Abstract

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.

Research on interaction between logistics industrial clusters and urbanisation based on system dynamics and cloud model

“…System dynamics is a discipline of integrating the scientific theory with the computer simulation, which comprises feedback structure of research system and behaviour (Miao et al, 2017). In this paper, the system dynamics is used for establishing the model and the Vensim software is used for simulating the real system.…”

Emergency Strategies of Closed-Loop Supply Chain with Single Retailer Recycling under Demand Disruptions

“…Actually, enterprises participating in CLSC operation can not only win the market share and considerable profits but also have a good impact on the whole ecological environment [1][2][3][4]. For instance, Xerox Corporation provides prepaid mailboxes so that customers can easily return their used copy or print cartridges to Xerox without any costs [5].…”
