We find that when the cost benefits of remanufacturing diminishes and the IO has more … remanufactured products and find that in that case remanufacturing becomes less profitable overall. …

In this paper, we investigate the effect of remanufacturing on capacity and production decisions. Inspired by the … focus on the case where remanufacturing is less costly and less capacity intensive than manufacturing. This setting is … realistic and obviously the one where remanufacturing is most beneficial. Optimal manufacturing and remanufacturing quantities …
