碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 資訊管理系 === 98 === In this paper, we develop inventory models for a closed-loop supply chain system, which consists of a manufacturer, a collector and public consumers. We investigate our problems under the basis of game theory, which consists of two cases: Stackelberg game and centralized collaboration. Furthermore, two production policies for the manufacturer are discussed, one is “lot-for-lot policy” and the other is “not-lot-for-lot policy”. We mathematically formulate our models as profit maximization problems, and the problems are solved either by providing closed form solutions or by developing algorithms to find the optional solution. Finally, we present some numerical examples to illustrate the features of our models.
