The aim of this paper is to understand how disruptions effect on closed-loop
supply chain, and how to achieve the coordination of closed-loop supply chain
under disruptions situation for the whole supply chain system.
Design/methodology/approach- This paper analyzed the effect caused by the
disruptions of the closed-loop supply chain from both supply and demand , and
applied the established margin profits sharing contract to achieve
coordination under the disruptions. Findings- From both supply side and
demand side, it drew how the disruptions affect the closed-loop supply chain.
When the disruptions have less effect on the forward and reverse cost of
closed-loop supply chain, the impact of the closed-loop supply chain is
controllable; when the disruptions have lager effect on the forward and
reverse cost of closed-loop supply chain, the impact of the closed-loop
supply chain is uncontrollable. Research limitations/implications- In this
paper, the contract costs are ignored for zero. While in actual situation, to
maintain the efficient implementation of this contract must spend
considerable cost. Sometimes the cost may be too high to become hinder
between manufacturers and retailers. This paper also does not make in-depth
study on this issue, so it will be further study in the future.
Originality/value- This paper also designed a set of differential profit
sharing contract based on revenue sharing contract mechanism. The contract is
easy to be managed, easy to be operated, making the closed-loop supply chain
system can achieve coordination whether in steady state or under disruptions.
