Introduction
Definition Reverse logistics –
Handling of the return flows of product or equipment back from consumer for reuse, recovery, or recycling.
How is it different? Reverse flow of goods back from customer May require additional facilities and
transportation costs for material handling (disassembly)

Recovery Programs Economic interests
Reduces raw material costs Types of Recovery:
Product – recycled directly or repaired and sent back under warranty
Component – Product is dismantled and components are used in same or similar products
Material – recyclables like metal, paper, or glass Energy - Incineration
![Page 6: RL Networks Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070420/5695d13d1a28ab9b0295b430/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Types of Networks
Directly Reusable Easily re-used with very little added effort. Example – pallets, bottles, or containers
Remanufacturing Returned products dismantled and parts or
components used like new Example – copy machine, aircraft engine

Types of Decisions
Strategic Must include reverse flow recovery path in
network Must consider costs related to forward and
reverse channels that returned material travel through
Location of plants and warehouses for recovery
Ex.- collection points and remanufacturing plants.

Types of Decisions (cont’d)
Tactical Integration of return flows with forward flows.
Combining or separating return flow goods with forward flow?
Isolating forward goods from reverse goods in warehouses to prevent shipping errors?
Designated holding areas, “QA Jail” Deciding when to use new or recycled parts? Organization of labor? When should products be repaired?
Repair, Scrap, Send back to OEM

Types of Decisions (cont’d)
Operational Production Scheduling Assignment of Labor Disassembly and reassembly

Example Problem Closed-loop logistics model for remanufacturing
Closed-loop – forward flows are closely related to reverse flows
Model involves both inventory costs, facility location, and transportation
Remanufacturing is both environmentally and economically friendly in the re-use of returned products
Cores = returned used products Source: Jayaraman, V., et.al. (1999). A closed-loop logistics
model for remanufacturing. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 50:497-508.

Example Problem (cont’d) How is the problem solved?
Can be solved with LP solvers (GLPK) Commercial Solvers (CPLEX)
Because these problems can get large in a hurry, commercial solvers are necessary due to the # of variables
Interfaces with C++ Uses the simplex method much like other LP
solvers Heuristics also used due to the size of these
problems.
