Research on the Influence Mechanism of Remanufacturing Models on Technology Transfer in Circular Economy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Previous researches on remanufacturer behavior in the supply chain only considered that the products were transferred between the OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer) and remanufacturer. This paper is a comparative study of the impact of different remanufacturing models on technology transfer in remanufacturing market. Our results showed that when the waiting time of consumers was zero, the proportion of technology transfer under BR model (buyback and remanufacturing model) is higher than that under ER model (Entrusting and remanufacturing model). When the waiting time of consumer was not zero, the characteristic of technology transfer depends on the license fee, the cost of waiting time, the cost of collecting and remanufacturing. In this paper, through mathematical simulation, the influences of waiting time and lead time on the decisions of OEM and the remanufacturer are discussed.
