Abstract

The demand for green products has increased in the past few years due to the heightened awareness of environmental issues and the increasing use of green products by consumers. Thus, choosing the best strategy for green product manufacturers is essential. At the same time, producers and retailers are likely to have their decisions influenced by government actions. In this study, we attempt to determine the product's price and greenness within two competitive supply chains. The study investigates the pricing of two substitutable and green products in which each supply chain produces a green product. Using Nash and Stackelberg Game models, we determine how supply chains and their members interact. A Nash model involves two competing supply chains with equal power, within each supply chain, however, there is a Stackelberg competition between the retailer and the manufacturer. The Stackelberg model assumes that one of the supply chains is the market leader. The results show that with increasing government intervention (government's adjustment factor and green level floor for subsidies), regardless of Nash or Stackelberg structures, the green level of the product will increase, and wholesale and retail prices will decrease. Additionally, the price changes in the retailer-Stackelberg structure are greater than those in the manufacturer-Stackelberg structure. Also, by bearing the greenness cost by the manufacturer or retailer, companies can positively impact their profits as well as the level of greenness in their products. When the manufacturer makes an investment in greenness, the retailer and consumer benefit from it, and ultimately become the main force behind the development of green products.

Abstract

In this paper, greening, pricing, and advertising policies in a supply chain will be examined with government intervention. The supply chain has two members. First, a manufacturer seeking to determine the wholesale price and the greening level and second, a retailer that has to determine the advertising cost and the retail price. The government is trying to encourage the manufacturer to green the production using subsidies. Using the game theory, at first, the demand function and the profit functions of both members are introduced, then in a dynamic game, their Stackelberg equilibrium is calculated. Sensitivity and parameter analysis are made to more illustration of the problem. We found the supply chain profit function behavior and results show that if the sensitivity of demand-price is less than a specific value, the manufacturer will not participate in greening policies.

Abstract

Sustainable supply chain networks have attracted considerable attention in recent years as a means of dealing with a broad range of environmental and social issues. This paper reports a multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for use in the design of a sustainable closed loop supply chain network under uncertain conditions. The proposed model aims to minimize total cost, optimize environmental impacts of establishment of facilities, processing and transportation between each level as well as social impacts including customer satisfaction. Due to changes in business environment the uncertainty existed in the research problem, in this paper the chance constrained fuzzy programming approach applied to cope with uncertainties in parameter of the proposed model. Then the proposed multi-objective model solves as single-objective model using LP-metric method.
