Abstract

In remanufacturing business of durable products, a special feature is the correlation between supply and demand. This is because customers who return their end-of-life products usually need to do replacement purchase. At the same time, pricing strategies have been widely adopted by remanufacturing companies to balance the supply and demand. In this study, we consider the pricing strategies with the presence of replacement purchase. We argue that despite the acquisition price for return products and the selling price to new customers, remanufacturing company should offer a trade in program to the replacement customer segment. We study the optimal pricing policies when return yield rate is uncertain. We also compare the profitability of different pricing schemes under different yield variations.
