“…However, their models did not consider temporal consolidation issues in a multiple planning horizon. Chouinard et al [20] dealt with problems related to the integration of reverse logistics activities into the regular supply chain and to the coordination of information system. Inderfurth [21] focused on a product recovery system where, in the context of extended product responsibility, a manufacturer of original products was also engaged in remanufacturing used products taken back from its customers.…”

a b s t r a c tDue to the implementation of government legislation, social responsibility, environmental concern, economic benefits and customer awareness the industries are under a great pressure not only to provide environmentally friendly products but also to take back the product after its use. The issue in reverse logistics is to take back the used products, either under warranty or at the end of use or at the end of lease, so that the products or its parts are appropriately disposed, recycled, reused or remanufactured. In order to overcome this issue, it is necessary to setup a logistics network for arising goods flow from end users to manufacturers. In this study, the optimum usage of secondary lead recovered from the spent lead-acid batteries for producing new battery is presented. The disposal in surface or sewage water or land of liquid content of the lead-acid batteries is strictly restricted. Because of the need for environmental protection and the lack of considerable lead resources, the spent batteries treatment and lead recovery are becoming crucial now-a-days. The objective of this paper is to develop a multi echelon, multi period, multi product closed loop supply chain network model for product returns and the decisions are made regarding material procurement, production, distribution, recycling and disposal. The proposed heuristics based genetic algorithm (GA) is applied as a solution methodology to solve mixed integer linear programming model (MILP). Finally the computational results obtained through GA are compared with the solutions obtained by GAMS optimization software. The solution reveals that the proposed methodology performs very well in terms of both quality of solutions obtained and computational time.

Electronic waste (E-waste) is growing attention at the end of this decade. E-waste must be managed properly. E-waste has a negative impact on the environment. E-waste contain B3 (Bahan Berbahaya dan Beracun -Dangerous and Poissonous Material). Reverse Logistics (RL) is one of the approaches that able to solve these problems. The use of secondary materials through the process of remanufacturing, recycling, refurbishing, recondition are the strategies for minimizing the number of e-waste. Many companies claim successfully implementing of RL. However, there are no clear indicators or parameters to assess the success of RL implementation. In this research we propose the design of reverse logistics maturity framework. Grounded Theory (GT) is chosen to design this framework. GT is a research methodology involving the construction of theory based on phenomena. This framework will be divided into five levels of maturity: Level Conventional, Managed, Developed, Innovative and Optimized. As a case study we implemented the proposed framework to three consumer electronics companies in Indonesia, and we found that those companies were in the Level Managed.Keywords: Reverse logistics, framework, maturity, waste, level, indicator. PendahuluanBeberapa isu-isu lingkungan seperti perubahan lingkungan (Climate Change), menurunnya keanekaragaman hayati (biodiversity), pencemaran lingkungan karena adanya B3 (Bahan Berbahaya dan Beracun), keterbasan jumlah sumber daya alam serta masalah waste yang merupakan efek samping dari kegiatan industri secara global, mengharuskan manusia untuk berpikir kreatif dan inovatif. Dikarenakan masalah keterbatasan sumber daya alam serta meminimasi jumlah waste, maka Mutha dan Pokharel [1] mengusulkan perusahaan harus mengimplementasikan beberapa hal antara lain legislation, social responsibility, corporate imaging, environmental concern, economic benefit dan customer awareness. Konsep tersebut diharapkan perusahaan mampu menciptakan produk yang ramah lingkungan dengan memanfaatkan secondary material sebagai bahan baku.Beberapa teknik telah dikembangkan untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Reverse Logistics (RL) merupakan salah satu teknik yang cukup mendapatkan perhatian dan dianggap sesuai dengan permasalahan e-waste. RL telah diimplementasikan sekitar tahun 1980an. Telah banyak perusahaanperusahaan yang menyatakan keberhasilan implementasi RL dan mendapatkan banyak manfaat.1 Fakultas Teknologi Industri, Jurusan Teknik Industri, Univesitas Pembangunan Nasional "Veteran" Jawa Timur, Jl.

“…Information management capabilities for reverse logistics may utilise existing assets such as information systems and product/market knowledge (Chouinard et al 2005). However, demand for return products is often unpredictable and requires specialised knowledge (Ramírez et al 2011).…”

“…As a result of an extensive literature review in the initial phase of this study, the following factors were examined: Logistics information management (Chouinard et al 2005;Ramirez, 2012), close-loop capability (Bernon et al 2011;Jayant et al 2012), integration capability (Dwyer et al 1987;Liu et al 2013), coordination capability (Cao and Zhang 2011;Crosno and Dahlstrom 2008) institutional incentives (Polák and Drápalová 2012;Franke et al 2006), and conformity capability (Assavapokee and Wongthatsanekorn 2012) were identified.…”

This study aims to examine the impact of reverse logistics capabilities on firm performance and mediating role logistics strategies. We reviewed three theories of reverse logistics capabilities: (a) Resource-based view of the firm, (b) Transaction cost economics, and (c) Institutional theory. We examined six reverse logistics capabilities: Logistics information management, close-loop capability, supply chain integration, supply chain coordination, conformity capability, and institutional incentives. We examined three reverse logistics strategies: Joint reverse logistics, manufacturer reverse logistics, third-party reverse logistics. We conducted a survey of Chinese mobile phone companies out of which we received 125 usable questionnaires with a response rate of 80%. The results of mediated hierarchical regression support the hypothesis that reverse logistics capabilities influence firm performance. Institutional factors were more significant than supply chain factors. Close-loop capability was the most significant factor. We provide managerial implications and suggestions for future research.
