Rebuild Technology Transfer in the Presence of Remanufacturing Dealer

Jun Cao, Yu Xiong, Yuan Yuan Chen

Abstract

Product rebuilding requires OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and his dealers to collaborate closely. In this paper, a model is proposed to study the rebuilding technology transfer decisions within an OEM and his authorized dealer who has to invest in technology for remanufacturing key components and rebuild used machines with the rebuilding technologies transferred from OEM. The optimal rebuilding technologies transfer and remanufacturing investment strategies are analyzed. The results highlight the significant effects of discount factor on the optimal strategies of OEM and the dealer. Some tactics for OEM to balance the new and rebuilding market are analysed.
