Pricing and Remanufacturing Decisions of a Decentralized Fuzzy Supply Chain by Jing Zhao, Weiyu Liu, Jie Wei

“…Particularly, there is one manufacturer who has incorporated a remanufacturing process for used products into her original production system, so that she can manufacture a new product directly from raw materials or from collected used products. The manufacturer then sells the new product to two different competitive retailers, respectively, and the two competitive retailers are in charge of deciding the rates of the remanufactured products in their consumers’ demand quantity. …”
