Production and coordination decisions in a closed-loop supply chain with remanufacturing cost disruptions when retailers compete

This paper studies the production and coordination decisions in a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) with one manufacturer and two competing retailers when remanufacturing costs are disrupted. We find that the pricing and production quantity decisions have certain robust regions when facing disruptions; and the more intense of competition between retailers, the smaller the robustness regions. Moreover, the manufacturer would like to adjust the production decisions when facing large size of positive or negative disruptions, while the retailers only would like to adjust them when facing large size of negative disruptions. Finally, we find that the revenue-sharing contracts can effectively coordinate the CLSCs, whereas more profits are required by retailers under large positive disruptions.
