Abstract
The remanufacturing industry plays a significant role to improve the utilization of resources and contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development. E-commerce channel (e-channel) has become an important retail channel. The multi-period closed-loop supply chain network of electronic channels (E-CLSCN) is studied. Moreover, this study considers the influence of consumers’ preference for products and artificial intelligence push (AI-push) on network balance under the conditions of dynamic and static. The network consists of manufacturers, remanufacturers, and demand markets. Remanufacturers are responsible for collecting and remanufacturing. The multi-period E-CLSCN model is established through variational inequalities. The study finds that whether dynamic or static, consumers’ preference for new products (NP) has positively correlated with the profits of manufacturers and the whole E-CLSCN. Consumers’ preference for remanufacturer products (RP) has only positively correlated with the profits of remanufactures. In the aspect of AI-push, the manufacturers’ AI-push has positively correlated with the profits of the entire players of E-CLSCN, while the remanufacturers’ AI-push has only positively correlated with the profits of the remanufacturers. Also, considering the multi-period, the sensitivity of the demand markets for the investment of manufacturers’ and remanufacturers’ AI-push gradually reduces, and the marginal benefit of AI-push gradually decreases. Finally, this paper addresses interesting managerial insights from the perspective of government and enterprises. Under the dual objectives of environmental protection and economic interests of enterprises, this study provides a reference for governments and enterprises to develop relevant dynamic policies. Namely, the government formulates dynamic environmental protection measures, and enterprises formulate dynamic strategic plans and implement government policies. While promoting the management level of E-CLSCN, it effectively boosts the development of the remanufacturing industry and recycling sustainable economy.
Highlights
With the increasing demand for resources in human society, the contradiction between environmental pollution and energy exhaustion is becoming increasingly serious [1]
A comprehensive discussion of the results of Numerical Examples 1 and 2, the results shown that vm (t) have a positive correlation with manufacturers’ profits and whole e-channel closed-loop supply chain network (E-CLSCN) and negatively correlated with remanufacturers, that is, the E-CLSCN is greatly influenced by manufacturers, and manufacturers occupy a dominant position in the E-CLSCN
If the government want to promote the sustainable development of resources and the development of the remanufacturing industry, through the increase the consumers’ preference for remanufacturer products (RP), force the manufacturers’ artificial intelligence push (AI-push), and increase the remanufacturers’ AI-push, it is not conducive to the E-CLSCN
Summary
With the increasing demand for resources in human society, the contradiction between environmental pollution and energy exhaustion is becoming increasingly serious [1]. In order to alleviate this contradiction, the United States has established a 3R (Reuse, Recycle, Remanufacturer) system from the perspective of sustainable development. Japan has established a 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) system. It can be said that remanufacturing is a vital section to realize the sustainable development of resources. Remanufacturing is a process of high-tech repair and renovation of end-of-life (EOL) products. The quality and performance of RP are required no less than that of new products (NP) [2,3]. Remanufacturing is the future industry which serves
