Optimal Pricing and Order Strategies of Three-Stage Reverse Supply Chain under Stochastic Demand Based on the Stackelberg Model

This paper establishes a three-stage reverse supply chain model which includes one manufacturer, one retailer and one agent who helps the manufacturer to recall waste materials. Besides, this paper assumes that the numbers of this reverse supply chain are all based on the Stackelberg game model. Under the condition of stochastic market demands, this paper analyzes the optimal pricing and order strategies in the concentrated decision-making and distributed decision makings reverse supply chain. By the analysis of the results, this paper gets a conclusion that in the concentrated decision-making reverse supply chain, the manufacturer´ s recovery price and the agent´ s recovery price are higher than the ones in the other condition, and the retailer´ s order is lower.
