Abstract

Abstract: In order to design the optimal collecting channel of closed-loop supply chain under the interaction of collection and retail competitions, based on the closed-loop supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and two retailers and by considering different collecting modes, four decision models are established. This paper utilizes the optimization theory method to solve the optimal solutions of models, and gives numerical examples to compare and analyze the optimal solutions of models and studies the effects of the interaction of collection and retail competitions on the whole closed-loop supply chain’s collection performance, the channel members’ optimal decisions and maximum profits. The results show that under the interaction of collection and retail competitions, the pattern of manufacturer participating in collecting will make the whole closed-loop supply chain obtain higher collecting performance and profit.

Key words: collection competition, retail competition, closed-loop supply chain, the optimization theory
