Differential Price Coordination Contract of Closed-Loop Supply Chain with Remanufacturing Under Patent Protection

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimal decision of the members in the closed-loop supply chain and design of coordinate system when the protected original manufacturer permits the third party to remanufacture. According to real condition, differential pricing models are constructed. Game theory is used to discuss the optimal pricing strategies and the optimal profit in the decentralized and centralized models. The results show that, remanufacturing rate of the end-of-life products and expense of patent licensing have an effect on the recycling price and quantity of the end-of-life products, and the remanufacturing products' received degree of customers have an effect on remanufacturing products pricing strategies and profit of supply chain members. The revenue and expense sharing contract including three parties is put forward in the paper, which can coordinate and optimize the decentralized closed-loop supply chain.

Key words: closed-loop supply chain, patent licensing, differential price, revenue and expense sharing contract

摘要： 本文目的是研究当再制造闭环供应链系统中原制造商具专利保护以及新产品与再制造品之间存在差异情况下,闭环供应链系统成员的最优决策及系统协调机制设计问题。根据现实情形构建了再制造闭环供应链差别定价模型,利用博弈理论讨论了集中决策与分散决策情形下节点企业的最优定价策略及最优利润。研究结果表明,废旧产品的再造率和专利许可费用均对废旧产品的回收价格和回收量具有一定的影响;消费者对再制造品的接受程度会影响到供应链系统各方的最优定价策略及利润;提出的一种收益-费用分担契约协调机制,可以实现分散决策下闭环供应链系统的协调和效率优化。
