    1. 1 A proposal for a framework for Reverse Logistics Marisa de Brito and Rommert Dekker, Erasmus University Rotterdam

    2. 2 Framework - what is it Classification and structuring of a field indicating relations between the various elements Difference with taxonomy - based on observed characteristics typology - classification based on outside aspects these do not give relations Validation? - internal consistency, completeness, parsimony - quite subjective - should stick and be appealing - data sources - case study review, own insight, other framework proposals

    3. 3 Reverse Logistics - introduction What is it - definitions “… the movement of goods from a consumer towards a producer in a channel of distribution.” (Pohlen & Farris) “The process of planning, implementing and controlling flows of raw materials, in process inventory, and finished goods, from the point of use to a point recovery or point of proper disposal” (Revlog) issue: is the word “use” correct? e.g. stock adjustments “point of consumption to the point of origin” (Rogers &TL) alternative: “from a manufacturing, distribution or use point to a point of...”

    4. 4 Reverse Logistics - introduction What is it - history Terms like Reverse Channels or Reverse Flow already appear in the scientific literature of the seventies, but consistently related with recycling (Guiltinan and Nwokoye, 1974; Ginter and Starling, 1978). influential publications Stock, 1992; Kopicky, 1993; Thierry, Salomon, JvNunen, vWassenhove 1995 Fleischmann, Bloemhof, JvN, EvdL, RD, vW, 1997; Rogers & Tibben-Lembke, 1998; Guide & vWassenhove, 2001

    5. 5 Reverse Logistics and other fields - closed-loop supply chains stresses integration forward and reverse chains, - environmental conscious manufacturing concerns manufacturing - green logistics stresses environmental aspects of logistics, esp. forward log. - waste logistics management primarily oriented at waste which is not recovered - sustainable development overall term indicating economic activities while taking a long-term holistic view (economics and ethics) mainly macro studies: reverse logistics is very much the implementation at the operation management / logistics level

    6. 6 A structuring of reverse logistics: why, what and how why is reverse logistics done - drivers - return reasons what is returned? - products and characteristics how is reverse logistics done - actors - processes

    7. 7 Reverse logistics: why Three main drivers economics (direct and indirect, marketing, competition, etc) ethics (environmental aspects, business principles, etc) legislation In reality reasons overlap - e.g. pending legislation, etc Q: can we really take these 3?
