Logistics reverse

The next few sections will describe interesting and effective reverse product supply chains. 

Key issue factoring in the return flow of goods when designing international networks 

Reasons why reverse logistics is often only partially incorporated into international network design include  

Opinions indicate that there are operational shortcomings such as using the 

Key issue developing appropriate responses to risk in both the short- and long-term. 

Supply chain disruptions such as transportation breakdowns and geopolitical risks can have many impacts empty distribution channels, stores and goods stuck upstream leading to lost sales, revenue and customers. And they can be the result of plant shutdowns due to supplier discontinuity or collapse, bottlenecks in the transportation system or many other events in the supply chain. There are at least two levels at which companies are responding to risk in international logistics preparing for immediate response to risks and stmcturally preparing for risk in international supply chains.

The EOU recovery process involves retrieving residual functional or material value, which often offers considerable economic and environmental benefits. Take-back legislation, market requirements, and used product value are the main drivers for EOU recovery (Sasikumar and Kannan 2008). For EOU products, reverse logistics are often a critical consideration. Reverse logistics (RL) is the process associated with managing the flow of products, components, and materials from the point where a product that reaches the end of a use cycle to a point where the product is processed for future use. Successful management...
