Reverse SC: 2 Basic Processes
1. Removing!new!or!used!products!from!their!ini%al!point!in!the!supply!chain!! returns!from!consumers!! overstocked!inventory!! outdated!merchandise!
2. Redistribu%ng!these!products!using!disposi%on!management!rules!that!will!result!in!maximized!value!at!the!end!of!the!item's!original!useful!life!
Options#
! Enable!the!most!economically!airac%ve!op%ons!! Direct!Reuse!! Repair!! Remanufacture:!Returning!the!product!to!original!
specifica%ons!! Recycle!! Disposal!
Reverse SC: 4 Steps to Successful Implementation#
1. Retrieve!the!product!! Quality!and!quan%ty!of!the!products!retrieved!must!be!
coordinated!with!other!distributors!and!customers!
2. Transport!the!product!! Should!be!efficiently!transported!to!a!central!loca%on!to!
be!inspected!and!sorted!! Determine!the!product’s!condi%on!and!the!most!
economical!reuse!op%on!! Determine!what!products!can!be!saved,!reworked,!
remanufactured,!resold!or!disposed!
Reverse SC: 4 Steps to Successful Implementation#
3. Recondi%on!the!appropriate!products!! Design!for!disassembly!(DFD)!is!a!method!of!designing!
products!(e.g.!electrical!devices)!so!they!can!be!easily!pulled!apart,!recondi%oned!and!reused!
! Products!that!are!not!recondi%oned!should!be!recycled,!resold!for!parts,!or!disposed!of!!
4. Distribute!and!sell!the!recondi%oned!products!! Companies!should!create!a!market!for!their!refurbished!
products!which!can!be!sold!to!the!general!public!at!cost!or!discounted!price!
Other Key Considerations#
! Companies!need!to!track!or!record!%me!metrics!in!their!returns!process!
! It!is!advisable!to!spend!some!%me!designing!the!right!reverse!supply!chain!model!–!can!be!designed!for!cost!efficiency!or!for!a!quick!response!
! Awareness!that!a!customerNcentric!approach!will!add!value!is!important!
Advantages#
! Reverse!supply!chain!models!can!help!companies!increase!realN%me!visibility!
! Reverse!supply!chains!lead!to!substan%al!environmental!benefits!which!are!mostly!related!to!the!process!of!recycling!and!reusing!
! Reverse!logis%cs!can!help!companies!comply!with!legisla%on,!as!it!helps!to!eliminate!and!diminish!waste!
Disadvantages#
! It!is!very!hard!or!even!impossible!to!forecast!and!plan!product!and!material!return!
! Reverse!logis%cs!is!really!perceived!as!a!cost!driver!and!is!considered!to!be!making!an!insignificant!impact!on!profit!margins!(Verweij!et!al.,!2008)!
