Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Product flows in today's supply chains do not end once they have reached the customer. Many products lead a second and even third or fourth life after having accomplished their original task at their first customer. Consequently, a product may generate revenues multiple times, rather than a single time. Capturing this value requires a broadening of the supply chain perspective to include new processes, known as 'reverse logistics', as well as multiple interrelated usage cycles, linked by specific market interfaces. Coordinating the successive product uses is key to maximizing the value generated.In this chapter, we review the field of reverse logistics. We discuss its opportunities and its challenges and indicate potential ways for companies to master them. We highlight what makes reverse logistics different from 'conventional' supply chain processes, but also point out analogies, and explain how both views can be integrated into an extended supply chain concept. We illustrate our discussion with examples of reverse logistics practice at IBM.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today s global economy, enterprises are changing continually, entering into new markets, encountering new competitors, introducing new products and restructuring themselves through mergers, acquisitions, alliances and divestitures. In order to stay competitive in such environments, enterprises require supply chain management solutions that are agile, responsive, resilient and dynamic.With the advances in supply chain management technologies and practices, supply chain becomes more adaptive or what we call on-demand supply chains. This book introduces some of these advanced concepts to make supply chains more adaptive and presents actual examples, many of which have been taken for early implementations at IBM supply chain operations.Chapter 1: Beyond ROIChapter 2: Supply Chain SimulationChapter 3: Inventory Management in High Technology Value ChainsChapter 4: Product Pricing in the e-Business EraChapter 5: Applications of Implosion in ManufacturingChapter 6: Strategic Sourcing and ProcurementChapter 7: Managing Risk with Structured Supply AgreementsChapter 8: Reverse Logistics - Capturing Value in the Extended Supply ChainChapter 9: Service Parts Logistics ManagementChapter 10: Business Process IntegrationChapter 11: Collaboration in e-Supply NetworksChapter 12: Sense and Respond Business Performance Management

This book was released on 2016 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As competition in the global market continues to grow and customers are becoming more environmentally as well as cost conscious, recent trends in retail practices attest to the attention and resources devoted to the returns in supply chains. Topping the list is the economic incentive to reap as much value as possible from returns. With the growth of an internet consumer base, vigorous competition and the advance of online sales regardless of product type, size and locations, many firms provide generous return policies. This has caused a significant increase in the volume of reverse flows and therefore great potential for value recovery from returns. According to the National Retail Federation, the value of merchandise returned amounted to $260.5 billion in 2015. Hence, ways of improving the performance of a supply chain through effectively and efficiently closing the loop have received considerable attention both from academic researchers and industry practitioners over the past two decades. One way to recoup returns value as quickly as possible is to decentralize reverse logistics functions to third party reverse logistics providers (3PRLP). Outsourcing to a 3PRLP allows a firm to gain a state-of-the-art reverse logistics program immediately thereby avoiding the capital investment and start up delay required to implement an in-house RL program. This dissertation proposes two models of a Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) with independent 3PRLP for returns processing. The first model presents a CLSC where demand is generated by a stochastic process. A fraction of the units that are initially sold are returned by the consumers for a full refund in every period. We model the forward flow interaction between the supplier, the retailer and 3PRLP by a widely accepted control policy that is lot size-reorder point inventory policy, which is detailed by the Markov process. We further propose a queuing network to capture reverse flow activities of the 3PRLP, which consists of customer decision delay and each of the 3PRLP activities. We characterize the expected profits for both firms and derive the effects of key parameters through set of numerical examples. The results of optimization based on numerical examples indicate that both firms' benefits from processing returns increase with an increasing returns rate. This is due to fact that the retailer captures more profits through selling processed returns at the price of new product. The 3PRLP unambiguously earns more profit from increasing product returns since the fee from processing returns is sole source of revenue. Furthermore, the directions of effects of changes in the holding cost are similar for both the retailer and 3PRLP. However, the magnitude of effects of the same parameter are quite opposite. Interestingly, the retailer's profit appears to be more sensitive to the holding cost than that of the 3PRLP's profit. The second model analyzes coordination issues between a retailer and a 3PRLP to manage product returns. We formulate the returns processing capacity of a 3PRLP as a two-input production function where there is only one variable input. Crucially, this implies that the 3PRLP's short run marginal cost is strictly increasing. This key feature of the 3PRLP's short run cost function motivates two supply chain interaction scenarios. In an uncoordinated supply chain, the retailer acts as a market leader who makes a take-it-or-leave-it fee and quantity of returns offers to the 3PRLP. With increasing marginal cost of returns processing and retailer market power, the quantity of returns processed is inefficiently low due to a standard monopsony argument. In a coordinated supply chain, the retailer and the 3PRLP jointly decide on the returns quantity to be processed in order to maximize the total profit for the supply chain. An appealing approach to model how the benefit to coordination is shared between the two firms is Nash bargaining. Accordingly, we characterize the Nash bargaining solution with asymmetric bargaining powers, assuming that the disagreement payoffs are given by the uncoordinated supply chain profit levels. The underlying model is one where the retailer and the 3PRLP negotiate the quantity of returns and the per unit fee, while both recognize that if they fail to reach an agreement, the retailer is poised to make a unilateral offer as in the uncoordinated case.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic, marketing, and legislative considerations are increasingly leading companies to take back and recover their products after use. From a logistics perspective, these initiatives give rise to new goods flows from the user back to the producer. The management of these goods flows opposite to the traditional supply chain flows is addressed in the recently emerged field of Reverse Logistics. This monograph considers quantitative models that support decision making in Reverse Logistics. To this end, several recent case studies are reviewed. Moreover, first hand insight from a study on used electronic equipment is reported on. On this basis, logistics issues arising in the management of "reverse" goods flows are identified. Moreover, differences between Reverse Logistics and more traditional logistics contexts are highlighted. Finally, attention is paid to capturing the characteristics of Reverse Logistics in appropriate quantitative models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of logistics and supply chain management become a trending topic recently. Researcher and practitioners have been working to elaborate the concept, strategy, framework and application of logistics and supply chain management in industrial operations. Thus, the competition is not between firms any more but it is all about logistics and supply chain management strategy competition. The progress of world wide regulations and law, global completion, the increasing demand from customers in social and environmental considerations and the sustainability issues has forced researchers and industrial practitioners to expand the perspective on beyond logistics and supply chain management concept. Reverse logistics and green supply chain management are such the innovative ideas for researcher to discuss and for industry practitioners to adopt. This book attempts to describe the concept of supply chain management and logistics in traditional system and figure out the progress of green supply chain management and reverse logistics study. The first two chapters of this book overviews the concept of supply chain management in both perspective application of strategic and operational levels based supply chain management’s business process and supply chain management elements. The last two chapters of this book give more attention on these areas: green supply chain management and reverse logistics specifically on the previous study has been done by researchers. The overview and review of green supply chain management and reverse logistics in this book would help readers to understand more about the concept of logistics and supply chain management and would give new directions of further research in green supply chain management and reverse logistics.

This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As legislations have become stricter and the competition on markets is getting stronger, companies facing return flows strive for the implementation of efficient and cost-effective reverse logistic procedures. At the same time, when managing reverse logistics, they are not only confronted with a high degree of uncertainties concerning the quality, quantity and timing or the product returns, but also with a dynamically changing environment. Various aspects, such the increasing amount of return flows, shorter repair and lead times as well as increasing disposal costs, affect the reverse logistic system and need to be managed proficiently. Additionally, handling product returns requires supportive computer aided modelling tools that are capable of handling the dynamic and complex characteristics of the reverse logistic system and allow an improved estimation of the impact of a changing environment and management decisions. For the purpose of this study, the system dynamics modelling approach has been identified as particularly suitable for illustrating the system in question with a special focus on understanding the dynamic behaviour over time. A generic system dynamics model has been exemplarily created and simulated using the program iThink. The model comprises end-to-end processes of the main reverse logistic activities related to customer returns and has been used for studying the strategic design and optimization of the reverse logistic system. In order to consider relevant uncertainties as well as environmental concerns and economic efficiency, representative policies have been applied where, inter alia, with the help of the graphical illustration of the processes, effective strategies could be implemented. A general evaluation of the system dynamics methodology has revealed the significant advantages of using supportive modelling techniques for strategic decision making. Particularly for complex systems that change over time, such as reverse logistics, applying appropriate computer aided modelling tools in order to anticipate the overall effect on processes caused by varying surroundings has proven essential. An effective utilization of system dynamics may significantly reduce the forecasting and planning risks within individual frameworks, such as capacity planning. Moreover, the generic approach allows the application of the model to any other industry that is characterized by uncertain capacity utilization and varying technical, economical and legal conditions.

Book excerpt: Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich BWL - Industriebetriebslehre, Note: 1,3, Universität Mannheim, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, erhöhte Komplexität und Kausalzusammenhänge innerhalb einer Closed-Loop Supply Chain im Rahmen des System-Dynamics-Ansatzes abzubilden. Mittels des Simulationsstudiums sollen grundlegende Erkenntnisse über die dynamischen Auswirkungen einer Integration von Sekundärressourcen in den Produktionsprozess gewonnen werden. Besondere Beachtung wird dabei den Implikationen der Reverse Logistics auf das Systemverhalten infolge exogener Störungen in der Nachfrage (Bullwhip-Effekt) zuteil. Zum Erreichen der Zielsetzung wird folgender Lösungsweg eingeschlagen: In Kapitel 2 wird auf Umfeld und Prozesse der Reverse Logistics eingegangen, um so den Rahmen für die spätere Modellentwicklung aufzuspannen. Dazu werden zunächst gesetzliche Grundlagen und direkte und indirekte ökonomische Anreize als Ursachen der Produktrücknahmen seitens der Hersteller identifiziert. Darauf folgend werden verschiedene Quellen und Senken der Produktrückflüsse definiert und Reverse Logistics als viergliedrige Prozesskette charakterisiert. Abschließend erfolgt eine Systematisierung der dem RL-Umfeld inhärenten Angebotsunsicherheit. In Kapitel 3 wird auf Basis der gewonnen Erkenntnisse ein System-Dynamics- Modell einer generischen Closed-Loop Supply Chain konzipiert, dessen Ausgangsstruktur anhand der wesentlichen Modellsektoren Produktion, Produktnutzung und Reverse Logistics erläutert wird. Darauf folgen eine Validierung der Modellstruktur sowie eine Diskussion der durch Simulation des Basismodells gewonnenen Ergebnisse. Die in Kapitel 4 zunächst vorgenommene Erweiterung des System-Dynamics- Modells um eine sektorübergreifende Koordination der Produktions- und Recyclingprozesse strebt eine Verbesserung des zuvor beobachteten Systemverhaltens an.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, it is obvious that new types of production (Industry 4.0) are accompanying new ways of distribution, which advance logistics, physical distribution science, and even supply chain management. The changing environment for carrying out logistics activities is also important for the development of the supply chain. Care for ecology, the recent pandemic, and the situation in Ukraine are other reasons to adapt logistics to the needs of an individual customer/recipient. It would be impossible without developing an appropriate strategy and applying appropriate tools for managing supply chains in the national and international dimensions. This book specifically addresses these issues. When analyzing the needs and structure of modern supply chains, in the context of their safety and risk reduction, it is impossible to ignore the problem of digitization, which allows for logistic analysis of the company, determining optimal routes, designing logistic systems, optimizing storage processes and costs, and predicting possible threats (crisis situations) and their effects (losses). IT support, automatic data exchange, e-logistics, telematics, traceability, and chatbots between various departments of the company along the upper and lower parts of the supply chain improve the flow of material and accompanying information through automation, robotization, proactivity, and document digitization. These new trends make it possible to define logistics as modern logistics using new achievements of science and technology. Modern logistics must also consider ecological aspects in line with assumptions about protecting the environment and improving our climate. Efficiently organized reverse logistics is not without significance for ecology. It is supported by renewable energy, electric vehicles, proper education in the field of a closed economy, cleaner production, waste minimization, the use of passive infrastructure, and proper waste management that allows us to positively influence environmental protection and human health. To meet the needs of creating modern supply chains, the authors developed this powerful book in which they analyze and present current and future solutions that influence the development of these issues in modern reverse logistics.
