Quantative models for determining prices in a remanufacturing system with exclusive and competitive market structure

Remanufacturing is an industrial process that makes used products reusable. Remanufacturing is one way for establishing a closed-loop supply chain. One of the important aspects in both reverse logistics and remanufacturing is pricing of returned and remanufactured products (called cores) that it has been noticed in this paper. In addition, in this paper we are engaged in presenting a mathematical model that indicates prices and inventories in a closed-loop supply chain in the exclusive market. This model has argument about acquisition price of cores and price of remanufactured cores. Moreover, we discuss about acquisition price of cores in the competitive market via fuzzy rules.
