Abstract

The importance of reverse logistics channel design has been widely recognized for green supply chain management. This paper aims to choose an appropriate reverse channel structure for remanufacturing while the new and remanufactured products are differential pricing. We also explore some characteristics of the channel coordination mechanisms, which maximize the expected revenue of the manufacturer and reduce the logistics cost of the closed-loop supply chain. Sensitivity analysis is provided for illustration.
