Reverse logistics is the management of materials and information from the consumer to the point of origin (manufacturer). Post-sale reverse logistics, namely, a specific area of the entrepreneurial logistics for the management of unused or little-used post-sales products, which, for different reasons, are returned to the direct distribution link chain, is studied. The state-of-the-art reverse l...

Reverse Logistics and the management of returned or used merchandise is a growing problem among manufacturers today. In this study we begin by presenting the nature and magnitude of the reverse logistics problem in the industry and a literature survey of the previous research in this area. Reverse Logistics deals with the processes associated with the reverse stream from users/owners to re-user...

The structure is the basic attribute of everything. The structure of logistics network is composed of logistics nodes and logistics routes, however the logistics cost mainly happens on the function the logistics route undertakes. So logistics routing optimization is the key to reduce logistics cost. As logistics is the hygiene factor of regional economic development, this article studied on log...

Design of a logistics network in proper way provides a proper platform for efficient and effective supply chain management. This paper studies a multi-period, multi echelon and multi-product integrated forward-reverse logistics network under uncertainty. First, an efficient complex mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model by considering some real-world assumptions is developed for the inte...

remanufacturing is an industrial process that makes used products reusable. remanufacturing is a way to establish a closed-loop supply chain. one of the important aspects in both reverse logistics and remanufacturing is pricing of returned and remanufactured products (called cores) that it has been noticed in this paper. in addition, in this paper the researchers have tried to present a mathema...

This paper presents a coordinated reverse logistics (CRL) management system for the treatment of multi-source hazardous wastes in a given region, in this case, a specific high-technology manufacturing zone. A linear multiobjective analytical model is formulated that systematically minimizes both the total reverse logistics operating costs and corresponding risks. In addition to inter-organizati...

This paper presents the main matters of RFID as the modern tool using in reverse logistics management. It is very important to understand the power of reverse logistics, because nowadays the traditional one is not enough to deal with all environmental problems facing companies. The reason for this article is to analyze the reverse logistics evolution, to show its basic terms, rules and conditions.
