The Handbook of Reverse Logistics : From Returns Management to the Circular Economy Paperback / softback
by Mike (Lecturer) Bernon, John Cullen, Jonathan Gorst, Catherine Weetman
Paperback / softback
Description
While reverse logistics has always been an important part of the supply chain, its importance has grown substantially in the past few years.
This has been driven by: increasingly generous returns policies, growing legislation on product disposal, evermore global supply chains, rising consumer social responsibility and awareness of the cost-saving potential.
Moreover, research from Cranfield School of Management shows that companies can reduce costs by 20-40% by using reverse logistics techniques. In The Handbook of Reverse Logistics, Mike Bernon, John Cullen and Jonathan Gorst cover all the key issues in reverse logistics, including: reducing the level of returns; developing effective product return networks; options for product disposal that maximize asset recovery; and sustainable distribution.
There is a dedicated chapter on circular supply chains.
The book also features a valuable self-assessment audit tool for reverse logistics and is full of international case studies.
