TL;DR
This study analyzes an inventory system with traditional forward-oriented material flow as well as a reverse material flow supply chain and develops a closed-loop supply chain inventory model to maximize the joint profits.
Abstract
Previous researchers have developed ways of managing forward-oriented supply chains, and gave insight to solve single-stage inventory systems. In this study, we analyze an inventory system with traditional forward-oriented material flow as well as a reverse material flow supply chain. In the reverse material flow, the used products are returned, remanufactured and shipped to the retailer for resale. A multi-echelon inventory system with remanufacturing capability is proposed. We then develop a closed-loop supply chain inventory model and maximize the joint profits of the supplier, the manufacturer, the third-party recycle dealer and the retailer under contractual design. The analytical results of this study show a significant increase in the joint profit when the integrated policy is adopted.

This paper addresses the problem of choosing the appropriate reverse channel structure for the collection of used products from customers and shows that simple coordination mechanisms can be designed such that the collection effort of the retailer and the supply chain profits are attained at the same level as in a centrally coordinated system.

Later in these notes I will describe the authors' collaboration on the multiechelon inventory problem in the spring of 1959, and describe the influence of Ralph Gomory and Ray Fulkerson on the development of combinatorial optimization.

Formulations of the EOQ type are presented for controlling inventories of repairable items and are modified to account for multiple items that share a common and limited repair capacity.

It can be shown that the integrated policy results in an impressive cost reduction when it is compared with the independent decisions made by the vendor and the buyers.
