Trade-ins & Buyback Is it worth it, & when?
1Final Purchase and End-of-Life Acquisition Decision
Distribution intensity…
“Recycling end-of-use (EOU) electronics rather than disposing of them makes use of valuable materials there by conserving natural resources & saving energy”
Research MotivationA Sustainability Concern
2Final Purchase and End-of-Life Acquisition Decision
Research MotivationInnovation and growth in computer sales has led to deep environmental concerns
133,000units of computers are thrown away each day.Gartner, Inc.
400,000,000units of electronic waste is scraped annually. International Association of Electronics Recyclers.
E-waste has become a significant environmental concern
3Final Purchase and End-of-Life Acquisition Decision
Research Motivation
EPR seeks to reduce waste disposal, & prompt manufactures to adopt eco-friendly product designs.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a global supply chain management concern.

A new era of supply chains and reverse marketing channels designed to capture “residual” economic
value from used goods

6Final Purchase and End-of-Life Acquisition Decision
Supply Chain Managerial ProblemMarket Driven Product-Acquisition Decisions are Complicated
• How to determine how much to pay?• How to motivate the right returns, at the right time?• How to matching supply and demand?• How to develop take-back policies that coordinate
forward and reverse channel profit objectives?
Collecting consumer returns for the purpose of harvesting components and remarketing recovered goods requires
coordinating forward and reverse channel profit objectives

OEMs and Retailers Providing Online Trade-in Applications
Large retailers (e.g., BestBuy, RadioShack) and OEMs (e.g., XEROX, Dell) provide value estimators to support trade-in and
take back
Managerial Dilemma
10
Determining Trade-in Value : Critical to Success Concern
What buyback or trade-in price should the firm offer for used product of a particular age or condition, and how should this price
change over time?
Under what settings is a buyback policy preferred over a trade-in policy, should a firm use both types of policies simultaneously or
does a single policy dominate, and if there is dominance, does the dominant policy depend on the stage of the new or
remanufactured product life-cycle?
How does the introduction of a new generation of the product influence the optimal buyback price function?
Trade-in Offers (Decision Complexity)
11
Evolving heterogeneity in condition and willingness to return
Incorporating life cycle dynamics into end-of-use product acquisition pricing is complicated, yet potentially worthwhile

Managerial Decision Dilemma
16
Balance Environmental Benefits & Economic Value
… The supplier will come to us and say okay, in the next three months we are going to stop producing this part forever, how many do you want?
… in those situations where demand for warranty parts ends up greater than we thought, if in those situations we can go out to the install base and proactively identify those units that we would like to have back. We could offer the current customer a very good deal on an upgrade and get those systems back and then tear them down.
