Abstract:

To solve the problem of high cost of automobile recycling caused by enterprise advantages failing to be concentrated in the existing model of endoflife vehicle recycling, a value chain integrated recovery model is put forward. Based on the competitive advantage theory and the value chain theory, a comparative analysis is made on  the advantages and disadvantages of the three traditional recycling models of major enterprise including manufacturers, thirdparty logistics enterprises, professional automobile recycling companies and retailers, and then  a costbenefit model of reverse logistics mode dominated by manufacturers enterprises is established, which can conduct the cost comparative analysis of the main body enterprises. Then the competitive advantages of value chain link of every enterprise in the reverse supply chain are shown, and all the links of the competitive advantages integrated to build the integrated model of reverse supply chain. Finally, a conclusion is drawn that the net income of the integrated recovery model is larger in certain conditions by comparing and verifying the net income of the integrated recovery model and the traditional recovery model.
