Research on the Influence Mechanism of After-Sales Service Model to Remanufacturing Technology Transfer in Green Supply Chain

Abstract:

The remanufacturing after-sales service of green supply chain requires OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and remanufacturer (his dealer) to collaborate closely. In this paper, two after-sales service models were proposed with an OEM and a remanufacturer. The optimal remanufacturing technology transfer and the influence mechanism were analyzed. The results suggested that: in dual channel model, the rising proportion of technology transfer promoted the development of remanufacturing market. Technology transfer ratio of single channel model rising resulted in different development tendencies of the remanufacturing market. For dual channel model, the Chinese government should not only encourage manufacturers to transfer manufacturing technology, but also encourage OEM to shift profit model from traditional profit model of the new-part sales to technology development and services. However, in single channel model, the government should encourage OEM to transfer more manufacturing technology to promote the remanufacturing market prosperity.
