Remanufacturing is an opportunity to deliver all-round sustainability benefits when products are designed accordingly. In this paper, we focus on the link between remanufacturing and lower variable cost via process innovation. Specifically, analyse how utilized in a supply chain consisting of manufacturer retailer. Only may undertake innovation, while as such could be done by either or We find that although traditional manufacturing accepts incremental improvement, general requires stepwise...

Abstract The growing energy consumption and associated carbon emission of Bitcoin mining could potentially undermine global sustainable efforts. By investigating flows blockchain operation in China with a simulation-based model, we find that without any policy interventions, the annual is expected to peak 2024 at 296.59 Twh generate 130.50 million metric tons correspondingly. Internationally, this output would exceed total annualized greenhouse gas Czech Republic Qatar. Domestically, it...

Remanufacturing at the component level could be performed by either a manufacturer or supplier. In this paper, we analyze performance of manufacturer-remanufacturing and supplier-remanufacturing in decentralized closed-loop supply chain, examine their desirability from different stakeholder perspectives. We find that may engage remanufacturing used components even if is costlier than traditional manufacturing; given costlier, forgo due to marginal increase consumer willingness-to-pay for...

Abstract The large energy consumption and the associated carbon emission of Bitcoin blockchain operations are growing to a non-negligible problem that could potentially undermine sustainable efforts many countries around world. In this paper, we make first original attempt investigate flows in China under different policies with (BBCE) model. We find without any policy interventions, annual is expected maximize 2024 at 296.59 Twh generate 130.50 million metric tons correspondingly, which...

Supply chain networks affect the ability of firms to obtain resources, and meet requirements sustainable development, further seek green innovation from supply networks. Based on this context, we construct a network system, explore influence power cohesion corporate output, discuss potential moderating effect environmental information disclosure. We use an empirical sample comprising 1048 A-share listed in China 2012 2019 for focal firms. also develop firms' disclosure index via revealed...

Coordinating a dual-channel supply chain could not only achieve the integrated profit of but also alleviate channel conflict. Although some researches addressed this area, there is scant literature to discuss coordination issue in situations disruption. To fill void, we utilise contract with wholesale price, direct channel's price and lump sum fee coordinate under cases demand disruptions production cost disruptions. After deriving optimal for each case, find that manufacturer can disrupted...

Abstract Researchers and managers broadly agree that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), which have opportunities to produce both new remanufactured products, are better off by centrally controlling their manufacturing remanufacturing activities. Thus, OEMs should not remanufacture used products until the cost is sufficiently low overcome negative impact of product cannibalisation. In this paper, we present a contrasting view manufacturing–remanufacturing conflict: sometimes benefit...

We develop a two-period dual-channel model for durable goods manufacturer to investigate how product durability and the channel structure create strategic issues that are significantly different from those in managing dual nondurables. The can sell directly by its own e-channel indirectly via an independent reseller. Our game-theoretic nests Arya et al. (2007) as special case when reduces zero thus generalizes it setting. equilibrium solutions indicate that, is durable, both parties'...

Cannibalisation is still a concern for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) when they outsource remanufacturing operations to the authorised remanufacturers (ARs). In dealing with cannibalisation in outsourcing, many OEMs (such as Sun, Apple, Hewlett Packard, Bosch Tools, and Gateway) use core collecting or remanufactured product remarketing. Motivated by examples from industry, we develop two models which an OEM produces new products but outsources AR. The potential strategies...

Favorable resident perceptions of the development social capital resulting from hosting community-based tourism is an important issue for Chinese authorities. This study aimed to develop and test a multidimensional scale evaluate perceived impacts on sustainable in China. A questionnaire was distributed host community residents (430) Fanhe village, Guangdong Province. Analysis this survey resulted six-factor model incorporating 20 items six groups. allowed researchers assess capital:...

Nowadays, with the emergence of Web 3.0 and metaverse, we collectively witnessed explosive development decentralised autonomous organisation blockchain business model. Particularly, advancement technologies has further given birth to a novel form social platform as blockchain-enabled media (i.e., SocialFi), which is growing both in size number users. Accordingly, rapid these firms illustrates requirement better understand reasons behind this increase innovative practices strategies emerging...
