Abstract

This paper proposed a decentralized supply chain programming model for remanufacturing system based on minimal-information sharing which is composed of one manufacturer, one supplier, and one 3PL provider. The manufacturer is in charge of returning and re-disposing used products besides manufacturing and remanufacturing, while the 3PL provider is responsible for the transportation of new products and returned products. During the operation, each chain partner pursues cost-minimization, and minimal-information sharing. Lastly, we recommend an interactive multi-level programming algorithm for model solution.
