Re-manufacturing and refurbishing activities also may be included in the definition of reverse logistics. In order to model reverse logistics network from an economics point of view, the following simplified reverse logistics system has to be set. In this model the products are gathered from the consumers and transferred back to the producers, hence the direction of the flow in the distribution supply chain is reversed and the model is expanded with the recovery centre. First of all the used products are collected from the consumers and moved to the recovery centre where the condition of the products are examined according to their end of life cycle. If there is still recapture value, then the product is disassembled as preparation for further reprocessing, which means physical transformation to the new customer. Otherwise the used product is disposed and transferred to the landfill site. According to the introduced model the main differences between forward and reverse logistics can be identified: • uncertainty on the quantity, quality and timing • complex system due to more participants and more interactions • mismatch between demand and supply occurs • unexplored market opportunities but the low value of return flow means a limit (src: Wikipedia) ]]> What stage of the supply chain is often more costly for industries involving low-skilled labour force [manufacturing | logistics]? ✓ logistics = more likely to threaten the viability of a business Reverse logistics deal with [delivered | returned] goods ✓ returned goods On-line businesses are [less | more] vulnerable to the costs of returned goods ✓ more vulnerable ✓ less demand for returned goods in a traditional shop ✓ high-touch goods need to be tried on before buying (e.g. shoes) When do you use reverse logistics? ✓ returning of goods ✓ repositioning of goods ✓ return for destruction or recycling Should the same logistics be responsible for reverse logistics? 〆smaller volumes for returning goods call for a different fleet of vehicles e.g. lorries for delivery of pallets from the warehouse to distribution centres and points of sale e.g. mini-vans for returning goods (...)
