Reverse Logistics - Science topic

i need a measurement scale for RL capability for my research

This is the topic in our thesis

What modern, computerized information technologies in the field of Industry 4.0 are used to implement improvements in production logistics or other logistics areas, such as distribution logistics, supply logistics, transport logistics, etc.?

Please reply

Best wishes

Industry 4.0 has been partially defined by its use of machine-to-machine communication and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices to create factories that operate like smart homes: an array of appliances and machines are brought into constant communication to create a cohesive, highly visible system. Logistics 4.0 operates under these same principles, but with a different set of parts. Specifically, it makes use of “smart” containers, vehicles, pallets, and transport systems to create a fully networked supply stream that offers supply chain managers, shippers, freight forwarders, and others the necessary visibility to route transport and optimally perform other logistics tasks. The concepts of Logistics 4.0 are becoming popular as logistics management evolves. Industry 4.0 impacts the corporate world through digitization both horizontal and vertical supply chains, products, services, business models, and customer relations.

How much this will affect the Reverse Logistics, especially Post-COVID recovery time?

I mean for the product ouctome or value.

If so, how can DEA consider effective use, iddle time of the product, time while damaged, time while misused, while stored, while not reentering to a new consumption or reprocessing cycle?

Much has been said about Circular Economy in sectors as from durable products or not as so (for instance, apparel, fashion sector). Nonetheless, there are also the advocation that CE can harm industrial progress, because the life extension of a product with long lastig consumption would mean less industrial production (in the known industrial paradigm). So, coming back to the old deadlock of sustainability within production, would it be considerable that CE could be a reality within different supply chains that eventually introduce trade-offs (economic/environmental) in order to balance their gains and losses? For sure, a model like this would go beyond reverse logistics, which is noticeable full of flaws for entire products. I imagine that incentives to CE in one tier of a supply chain would demand a balance in other tier of the same chain, or in other supply chain. But how could this work considering not only sustainability indicators of production? How can one combine such indicators with economic/risk indicators that go far on a single supply chain?

Thanks.

what are the main difference ?

With the importance of reverse logistics and its activities to the growth of manufacturing indusries, what are the research areas that can be explored?

I'm currently designing a case study and are exploring how to make a rigor case study design. Therefore, i'm interested in identifying key references on how to conduct case studies within operations- and SCM research?

I would like to start my PhD in recycle Logistics practices using big data

We aim to investigate reverse logistics in a large manufacturing company, but we come a cross the term reverse marketing in the literature. What are the possible connections between these two terms? Thank you.

Although biodegradable material represents 70% of municipal waste in developing countries, I do not know of any city that runs separate collection and composting facilities. I am looking for a precedent to imitate.

In project-driven company, at the end of project, surplus or leftover material/equipment can be reused in the next project. In order to that in an effective way, company needs a good process of reverse logistics management. Those materials will need to be collected and sorted (4Rs: reuse, return, recycle or remove). 

I have heard a lot about reverse logistics in manufacture but not in project-driven organization. I would like to know more about that.

I have shown by experiments that source separation and reverse logistics in Brazil can take care of 67% of all household waste. This means private initiatives without need for municipal intervention. As this is the maximum I have achieved, I am curious to know whether anybody anywhere has done better and how. 

Dear Researcher

I estimated the supply equation. I have taken all the variables in the log form except the produce price index. I have converted the PPI into percentage instead take it into log form. The respond variable is exports in log and PPI is regressor. Ln(export) c b*PPI please guide me how we will interpret the coefficent of PPI 

Thanks in advance

I'm structuring an applied research on practices of reverse logistics in diversified sectors. I intend to apply a survey to identify current practices and potential improvements in reverse logistics processes. I would like to get information from already conducted questionnaires and/or surveys structures.

I am trying to study the  influence of supply chain disruption and supply chain practices on the supply chain performance of an end to end supply chain of an agricultural product.

What activities can we consider in Reverse Logistics process to improve the Supply Chain operations, specifically in food sector.  

My doctoral research is in the area of environmental law, focusing on good regulations for reverse logistics of electronic waste. In addition to analyzing the development of European directives on the matter, I also observe the same process in Brazil, and will possibly suggest some instruments based on the European experience to enhance that process.

Therefore, a contact with officials at the federal level on this topic is essential, particularly in order to obtain access to specific documentation. It is also urgent, given that none of the previous contact attempts by the means made public have been effective.

Are there articles on warehouse management challenges in logistics companies? I.e. in freight forwarding/international trade specialists, Carriers and shippers, third party logistics (3PL), reverse logistics?

I am gathering information about the reverse logistics in the luxury goods sector. I would be very grateful for providing me with some interesting articles about this subject or some emprical evidence from your countries (reports, datasets maybe??). Maybe you have just visited some shopping villages in the neighbourhood, where they sell luxury items from previous seasons and you have some interesting comments about this exeprience...

I would appreciate your answer very much.

Reverse logistics Network, solution and procedures

I'm also interested reverse logistics issues in this sector.

I am interested in knowing what is the scope of research here for a computer engineering student. Thanks.

Key performance indicators for transport efficiency.

This modelling approach could be used to establish one important part of reverse logistics network by defining optimum locations for collection points.The objective of this project is to determine the maximum number of post-consumer (supply point )by per-defined number of collection facilities opened in which the probability of each supply point being covered by facility collections is not lower than the specified value, defined as critical geometric radius.In this area the question is,how can we integrate the probability with this problem?

More and more postal companies are introducing unmanned pickup stations for parcels, because of booming e-Commerce. The stations are used for 24/7 pick up, additionally for sending returns or shipping your own parcels. With 2,500 Packstations, the German Post actually has the most dense network which is used as a USP. If competitors would like to add such a service on their own they could only manage it - this is my impression - in a collaborative project. But is this possible? Do they need a neutral operator for the stations? Could that be a new business model?
