Pricing Decisions of Closed-loop Supply Chain with Misreporting Information Under Platform Trade-in System

Before recycling waste products through online channels, enterprises evaluate waste products by asking consumers to fill in the information of waste products. In this process, the information filled in by the consumer intentionally or unintentionally deviates from the true information of the product, it is called consumer misreporting. This behavior will affect the remanufacturing production. Therefore, in this paper, a closed-loop supply chain model of recycling and remanufacturing by remanufacturers under the background of enterprise self-built platform is constructed. Considering that consumers often misreport when they fill in the recycled waste product information on the self-built platform, the influence of consumers misreport behavior on remanufacturers pricing decision is explored and analyzed by numerical simulation. The results show that consumers misreporting of recycled waste products will reduce the remanufacturing rate of the waste products, which will lead to the reduction of the recycling price and profit of the remanufacturer. The remanufacturer can improve the remanufacturing rate of the recycled waste products by controlling the degree of consumers misreporting.
