Abstract

Modularity and returns relate to sustainability. In a retailer-manufacturer setting and when the demand for a returnable product depends on both price and modularity level, we develop a profit-maximizing stochastic model. The solution includes optimal expressions for the price, and the order quantity. We derive managerial insights from our structural and numerical results relating to the management of such a perishable product and its implications on sustainable supply chain management.
