Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper studies pricing and remanufacturing problems in a fuzzy dual-channel supply chain that includes a retailer and a manufacturer who produces a product (either an entirely new product directly from raw materials or from remanufacturing a returned unit or parts of it into a new product) and sells it to the end customer through a retailer or direct channel. The manufacturing cost, the remanufacturing cost and the customer demand are specified as fuzzy variables. By using game theory and fuzzy theory, the optimal decision on wholesale price, retail price, direct price and remanufacturing effort are examined respectively under the centralised and the decentralised decision models. Finally, numerical examples are solved in order to explain the effectiveness of the proposed models.
