“…Li et al [23] investigated the strategic effect of return policies in a dual-channel supply chain. Zhang et al [24] integrated the product quality and returns caused by quality problems into the design of a dual-channel coordination mechanism in closed-loop supply chains. Modak and Kelle [25] considered to develop a dual-channel supply chain strategy under price and delivery-time dependent stochastic customer demand.…”

“…The delivery time in the online channel as well as the distributor sales effort in the retail channel were devised. The above literature studied the pricing [15,17,18,25], service level [19,21], delivery [25,26], return [23,24], remanufacturing [26], contract model [22] and consumer behavior [14,21] of dual channel supply chain. However, there are few works on product quality and service quality in dual channel supply chain, as well as the effect of service spillover on channel members.…”

“…To date, most of the literature has focused on the unilateral research of product quality or service quality. A few scholars have assumed that market demand is affected by both product quality and service quality and studied supply chain coordination [24]. However, in the case of the dual channel supply chain, there are few works regarding the combination of product quality and service quality strategy.…”

Although supply quality management has been studied extensively, one important marketing phenomenon, that is, reference effect has been rarely considered in dual-channel supply chain quality management literatures. In fact, the quality reference effect is also an important factor which influences consumer purchasing behavior. We aim to explore the influence of the reference effect on the optimal decisions and performance of a dual-channel supply. Thus, we formulate dynamic models that include the product quality reference effect and the service quality reference effect in a dual-channel supply chain system consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer under the different decision-making scenarios. Utilizing differential game theory, optimal decisions are obtained for the product quality and service quality decision under the different decision-making scenarios. In addition, the optimal decisions and profits are compared, then a service cost-sharing coordinating mechanism is proposed and proven to be effective in the supply chain system. The main results show when the initial reference service quality is low, the consumer service quality reference effect is beneficial to the manufacturer. The spillover effect of service quality is not conducive to the retailer and the manufacturer. When the initial reference product quality is low, both online and offline product quality reference effects are beneficial to the retailer and the manufacturer. The stable (or final) reference quality will not be affected by the initial reference quality. The sum of the two members' profits under decentralized decision making is less than the total profit of the supply chain under centralized decision making. We design a cost-sharing coordinating mechanism to eliminate the double marginal effect.

In this regard, we can refer to sales effort determining and service management in each channel [10][11][12][13], contract optimization [6,14], disruption management [15][16][17], product variety in supply chain [18,19], and multiperiod model [20].…”

The combination of traditional retail channel with direct channel adds a new dimension of competition to manufacturers’ distribution system. In this paper, we consider a make-to-order manufacturer with two channels of sale, sale through retailers and online direct sale. The customers are classified into different classes, based on their sensitivity to price and due date. The orders of traditional retail channel customers are fulfilled in the same period of ordering. However, price and due date are quoted to the online customers based on the available capacity as well as the other orders in the pipeline. We develop two different structures of the supply chain: centralized and decentralized dual-channel supply chain which are formulated as bilevel binary nonlinear models. The Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is also developed to obtain a satisfactory near-optimal solution and compared to a genetic algorithm. Through various numerical analyses, we investigate the effects of the customers’ preference of a direct channel on the model’s variables.

Circular economy represents a concept for turning of material and energy wastes into resources for other purposes in a closed loop system. The purpose of circular economy is to minimize the energy and material wastes. The effect of energy and nonenergy material productivity on the gross domestic product (GDP) was analyzed in this study. The main contribution of the investigation was to determine which sector of energy or non-energy material productivity has the more relevance on the GDP.Energy productivity represent energy consumption sector while non-energy material productivity represents the sector closely connected to the circular economy. The used database covers OECD members in period 1990-2020. According to the results one can determine the current status of the economic development and what needs to be improved to reduce the energy and material wastes. On the contrary GDP needs to be tracked in order determine which factor has the more influence on the GDP. For such a purpose adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was used.The metals consumption represents the most relevant factor for GDP variation and prediction. The results show also the combination of non-energy material productivity and generated municipal waste is the best-case scenario for the GDP prediction.The obtained results could represent the best practices for implementation of circular economy concept.
