Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 工業工程學研究所 === 99 === The volume of waste electrical and electronic product increases rapidly in recent years. Due to eco-awareness and legislative requirements, manufacturers have to take the responsibility of recycling their own brand-name products. Many enterprises cooperate with third-party logistics service providers to bear responsibilities for part (or all) of recycling operations of waste electrical and electronic products. For simplicity, we initially consider a two-tier supply chain for e-scrap in a reverse supply chain. Our model consists of a manufacturer, as a leader, and a third-party logistics service provider, as a follower. Each supply chain member maximizes its own profit functions. We consider that recycled product unit profit affected by mass customization index. This research derives the optimal contract rent for the third-party logistics service provider and the optimal reward money for customers. Then, we discuss the impact of the change in the average range of mass customization index, the collection effort and both firms’ unit profit on return rate, the proportion of processed products, the profit of manufacturer (or third-party logistics service providers) and total profit in the recycling system.
