Enhanced circularity in aftermarkets: logistics tradeoffs

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify requirements and tradeoffs on logistics services for enhanced circularity materials resources. Design/methodology/approach Based multiple case study design abductive reasoning, the investigates 13 different product categories. data were analyzed based theoretical, a priori codes from literature review. Inductive, emerging added coding scheme during analysis. Findings Requirements support slowing resource flows are categorized with respect initiator, location service, single or actors, transportation parts, products people. Moreover, identifies new tradeoffs: material people, knowledge information knowledge. Transportation product, people parts can be reduced by increasing local improve sharing. Research limitations/implications This review contributes understanding relationship between enhancement highlighting in aftermarket supply chain that flows. To enhance circularity, must extend traditional flow knowledge, respectively. Practical implications categorization provides practitioners researchers an overview particular circular cycle. will provide opportunity address environmental impact utilization scarce materials. Social Variety hence Originality/value First, authors illustrate how such as materials, resources need addressed through slowing. Second, two services: degree customer involvement.
