Game Theoretic Analysis of After-Sales Service in Two-Echelon Supply Chain with Warranty Sensitive Demand

Table 1

Comparing current paper with previous studies.

Study	Demand type	Warranty type	Research subject
Zhang [15]	A two-component series system with stochastic demand	Free replacement policy	Warranty cost evaluation
Huang [14]	Pro rata proportions affect demand of the customer	Extended warranty	Propose a new extended warranty policy
Chen [16]	Demand rate is deterministic and constant	Free replacement warranty	Study optimal production run length and warranty period
Dan [31]	Warranty affects demand	Free value-added service	Warranty service strategies in dual-channel supply chain
Current study	Stochastic demand which is affected by the warranty length	Free replacement/repair warranty	Game theoretic analysis on warranty service between the supply chain members
