Reverse logistics is the process of planning and controlling the recovery flow of end of life products. Industry is increasingly being confronted with the need to solve several reverse logistics issues because of not only stringent environmental legislations but also economic reasons. Recently, thanks to the advent of emerging technologies, such as RFID, enhancing the productivity of reverse logistics operations has been highlighted. The application of RFID technology is going beyond forward logistics, which is the delivery of manufactured goods to consumers, and being expanded, though not frequently yet, to reverse logistics, which includes return, recovery, reuse, reproduction and disposal. However, it requires a deep insight for the research of reverse logistics and new environment. In this regard, we studied effectiveness by applying RFID middleware technology to reverse logistics.

The studies on the logistics has been mainly centered on the logistics information system and logistics performance on the supply chain for the enterprise's profit making. For sustainable development, it's being required the construction of recycling-oriented system, and it's also necessary to construct the efficient system not only in forward but in reverse channel. In addition, it's required to construct information system for supporting reverse logistics smoothly. In this study of manufacturing enterprises, recognition on the environmental problems is set as the adaptation degree to the national environmental regulations and enterprise's concern to the environmental logistics, and it presents the direction through analyzing the effects of such environmental logistics recognition on reverse logistics information system and performance. In order to achieve these aims, it was performed through combining philological and positive studies.

Recently, shifting channel power is forcing supply chain to take back products. As you can imagine returned product has always been a problem for all parties in the supply chain due to the disruption in operations and a headache in processing returned products. Therefore, every member of supply chain should respond to reverse logistics activities particularly for the return handling process. Under such a strong demand of efficient and cost effective reverse logistics activities, particularly for the return handling process, the information system should be implemented and participated in intensively. This study analyzed the reverse logistics information factors for environmental conscious logistics system limited to returns from customers/consumers. The results provide reverse logistics information factors based on the return handling process which can be used as benchmarking for companies seeking implementation of an efficient return handling system.

If do not become whole optimization because enterprise's individual enterprise internal determinate improvement effort is associated with activity in enterprise SCM, competitive power can not but be extremely limited the result. Therefore, to spur in hidden cost's discovery and logistics' optimization is actuality. In this paper, as long as it is by logistics cost except empty driving if reverse logistics happens in distribution channel progressing, logistics reverse logistics' hidden cost through model that do minimization profit of logistics to look for plan that can do maximization try. Finally, is based on dual of distribution cost and profit of logistics and reverse logistics and achieves Pull, optimal system modeling that use Push system and gropes method of effective logistics cost.

Deployment of green transportation in reverse logistics is a key issue for low carbon technologies. To cope with such logistic innovation, this paper proposes a hybrid approach to solve practical vehicle routing problem (VRP) of pickup type that is common when considering the reverse logistics. Noticing that transportation cost depends not only on distance traveled but also on weight loaded, we propose a hierarchical procedure that can design an economically efficient reverse logistics network even when the scale of the problem becomes very large. Since environmental concerns are of growing importance in the reverse logistics field, we need to reveal some prospects that can reduce $CO_2$ emissions from the economically optimized VRP in the same framework. In order to cope with manifold circumstances, the above idea has been deployed by extending the Weber model to the generalized Weber model and to the case with an intermediate destination. Numerical experiments are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and to explore the prospects for future green reverse logistics.

환경적인 부분에 대한 관심이 증대되면서 기업은 제품을 생산하고 판매하는 것만으로는 기업 이윤을 확보하는 데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 대한 대책으로 이미 사용된 후 수명을 다한 제품과 자원(used products and materials)의 재활용에 대해 주목하게 되었고, 자원의 재활용에 대한 제도는 OECD 국가에서는 이미 보편화되어 있다. 이러한 변화에 발맞추어 자동차 산업에서도 제품의 친환경적인 측면이 강조되고 여러 관련 법규가 제정됨에 따라 상당히 큰 파장을 불러일으키고 있다. 특히 EU는 2005년부터 단계적인 폐차처리 지침을 만들고 이를 지키지 못하는 차량의 경우 더 이상 유럽 지역에 수출을 할 수 없게 하였다. 이에 따라 자동차 업계에서는 자동차의 재활용 및 부품의 재사용에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 수명이 다한 제품에 대해 리사이클링(Recycling)과 재사용(Reusing) 하여 제조 기업에게 피드백 하는 닫힌 고리(Closed loop) 형태의 회수물류(Reverse Logistics) 체계를 구축해야 하는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자동차 산업에서의 부품의 재사용과 재활용에 대한 Reverse Logistics 효과를 분석할 수 있는 Closed Loop 방식의 시뮬레이션 모델을 만들고 이를 통해 기존의 Supply Chain과 Reverse Supply Chain을 비교해 봄으로써 Reverse logistics의 도입에 따른 효과를 분석하고, 폐차율을 고려한 자동차 산업의 Reverse logistics의 도입 효과에 대한 분석도 수행하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 자동차 업계의 국내외 역물류의 도입에 따른 효과분석과 국내 폐자동차 관련 정책결정에 필요한 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

온라인 시장은 비대면 거래와 한정적인 시장의 규모로 인해 오프라인시장의 보조적 역할로 자리매김해 왔다. 그러나 전자상거래의 많은 장점에도 불구하고, 전자상거래의 동시 다발적 물류의 발생흐름은 전자상거래 상품의 가격 상승과 이로 인한 잠재적 구매 고려로 이어져 전자상거래 활성화에 걸림돌로 작용되어 왔다. 또한 이러한 순흐름 방향의 물류 발생이외에도 역물류 발생 자체가 상품 가격의 상승으로 이어지고, 역물류 발생 우려에 대한 잠재적 불안이 소비자의 구매 자체를 저해하는 요인이 되어왔다. 전자상거래 역물류를 발생시키는 원인에는 제품불량, 제품 부적합, 기대이하의 제품, 더 나은 거래 조건의 등장 등이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 더 나아가 전자상거래 제품 선택에 대한 인지적 능력에 대한 높은 요구 그리고 비대면 거래의 특성, 상품지표 역할의 부족으로 인한 제품 채택의 어려움이 역물류 발생 원인으로 조사되었다. 본 연구 목적은 전자상거래 특히, B2C거래 중심의 역물류 발생원인을 살펴보고, 역물류 발생 원인을 제거하여 역물류 발생을 최소화할 수 있는 요인을 찾고, 역물류의 효율적 관리 방안을 제시함으로써 이에 대한 최소화 방안을 연구하여 역물류 발생자체를 억제하는데 있다. 그러나 현상의 발생과 대안이 선행연구의 부족에 따라 연구자의 주관적 견해가 많아, 이를 발전시켜 설문조사와 실증분석을 통해 입증하고, 세분화하는 것이 향후 연구 방향이라 하겠다.

In the last few years growing interest has been dedicated to supply chain management. Modeling complexity is added to supply chain coordination problem by accounting for reverse logistics activities. The objective of this paper is to extend inventory model of manufacturing factory with respect to the production of raw material of forward logistics and recycling material of reverse logistics. The proposed model is applied to a plastic recycling process plant located in Taiwan. The case study improvement scheme shows when the recycling rate of recycling material increases from 15% to 50%, the total inventory cost of manufacturing factory decreases by 12.82%, safety stock volume decreases by 41.19% and the reorder quantity is down by 50.96%. This paper finds whether the results of the model can reach the economic profit through quantitative analysis and encourages companies integrate reverse logistics into the supply chain system.

As today's business environment has become more and more competitive, forward as well as backward flows of products among members belonging to a supply chain have been increased. The backward flows of products, which are common in most industries, result from increasing amount of products that are returned, recalled, or need to be repaired. Effective management for the backward flows of products has become an important issue for businesses because of opportunities for simultaneously enhancing profitability and customer satisfaction from returned products. Since third party logistics service providers (3PLs) are playing an important role in reverse logistics operations, they should perform two simultaneous logistics operations for a number of different clients who want to improve their logistics operations for both forward and reverse flows. In this case, distribution networks have been independently designed with respect to either forward or backward flows so far. This paper proposes a mixed integer programming model for the design of network integrating both forward and reverse logistics. Since the network design problem belongs to a class of NP-hard problems, we present an efficient heuristic algorithm based on genetic algorithm (GA), of which the performance is compared to the lower bound by Lagrangian relaxation. Finally, the validity of proposed algorithm is tested using numerical examples.
