摘要：
In this paper we study closed-loop supply chain models for an electronic product which is featured with a short life-cycle and price depending on rand demand. We focus on the manufacturer's choice of two take-back channel structures in retailer competing settings: the manufacturer collects the used products directly and the retailers collect the used products for the manufacturer. We characterize and compare the retailers' sale price and profit of the manufacturer under the two take-back channel structures, and get the manufacturer's optimal take-back channel selection. We also develop some extensions to the model. We find that if the collection rate is exogenous, then the retailers are the effective undertakers of the product collection activity for the manufacturer, and the competitive interaction between the retailers do not affect the manufacturer's reverse channel structure selection. This result is generally robust no matter whether the quantity of collected used products is a fraction of the retailers' order quantity from the manufacturer or sales quantity in the regular season and no matter whether the salvage value of the unsold products is zero or not. We also find that if the collection rate is endogenous, then the reverse channel structure with retailer collecting is better to the manufacturer only if the retailers collect all their ordered products. © 2016, Editorial Board of Journal of Systems Engineering Society of China.
