The Transformation of Supply Chains in Closed-Loop Supply Chains
2016Within the framework of the concept of sustainable development, economic growth should be considered not only in economic, but also environmental and social terms. The economies of countries face new challenges intended to satisfy growing human needs while maintaining (or improving) the quality of the environment.

Inventory Management in Closed Loop Supply Chains
2004Inventory management is playing a key role in setting up efficient closed loop supply chains. Companies are recognizing product returns as a critical supply source, which they need to integrate into their material management. Uncertainty and a limited span of control add to the complexity of managing this particular source.

Component Commonality in Closed-Loop Supply Chain
2010Many literatures in forward supply chain management point out the importance of product design. In this research, we follow the same concept and apply it to closed-loop supply chain. We consider two closed-loop supply chain structures, Parallel and Mix.

Perspectives in closed-loop supply chains
2012 IEEE Colloquium on Humanities, Science and Engineering (CHUSER), 2012The objective of the paper is to review and report on the perspectives of research in the area of closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs). CLSCs is the ultimate sustainability concept in Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) that currently draws the attention from practitioners as well as the academicians.

Coordination in Closed-Loop Supply Chains
2004In any type of supply process, closed-loop or open-loop (Chapter 2), multiple decision-makers within a firm or in different firms are involved in decisions concerning the efficiency and the profitability of the supply process. For example, for consumer goods such as one-time use cameras (Kodak), the distributor network operates as the product return ...

Closed Loop Supply Chain Management
2018This chapter provides an overview of concepts within the field of closed loop supply chain management. First, using some qualitative frameworks we categorize and characterize the many different closed loop supply chains that are found in practice. Then, we identify key processes and potential bottlenecks that need to be addressed for efficient and ...

Design of Closed Loop Supply Chains [PDF]
, 2001 Increased concern for the environment has lead to new techniques to design products and supply chains that are both economically and ecologically feasible. This paper deals with the product - and corresponding supply chain design for a refrigerator. Literature study shows that there are many models to support product design and logistics separately ...
