“…Reverse Logistics activities of food items are important to diminish food waste and guarantee the effective progression of logistics activities. Food waste and loss have numerous adverse consequences for the climate by expanding greenhouse gas emissions and contamination (Sathiyagothai and Saravanan, 2017). Reverse logistics, which involves the return movement of products and services in the supply chain, is becoming a crucial business activity regardless of industry or product, or services involved (Ramish et al, 2022, Pujawan, 2016.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the fundamental roadblocks of reverse logistics (RL) process in the food supply chains (FSC). This paper employs an exploratory approach with multiple case study perspective to examine RL inefficiencies within two contexts namely, Pakistan and Malaysia. Backed by an extensive review of recent literature of various types of challenges and hurdles of RL design and implementation, the study proposed a framework to mitigate all the risks and hurdles. Qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews followed by thematic analysis for the identification of RL inefficiencies in FSC. Findings demonstrated that although both countries have different reverse logistics designs, they face common issues in terms of managing complexity, communication, financials, and waste. The framework has practical implications in guiding the logistics and supply chain professionals for the effective design and development of RL strategy and best practices in food sector.

A logística reversa vem se destacando dentro das organizações como uma estratégia empresarial, que além de apoiar-se em aspectos legais e socioambientais, procura a satisfação dos clientes. Assim, o presente estudo analisou a logística reversa em uma indústria do ramo alimentício objetivando gerar soluções práticas e viáveis para o problema de insatisfação dos principais clientes da organização, motivados pela ineficiência dos processos reversos. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia PDCA como norteadora central na resolução do problema proposto, bem como a técnica milk run como ação principal do trabalho. Como resultados, obtém-se maior eficiência no processo de logística reversa, pautado em quatro principais indicadores: i) maior rapidez no retorno de mercadorias de devoluções por causa de uma consolidação de carga mais rápida devido a aplicação do milk run; ii) redução de custos de frete reverso na região Sul motivados pela negociação realizada pautando principalmente a centralização dos volumes em uma mesma transportadora; iii) aumento no nível de satisfação dos principais clientes da organização; iv) maior reaproveitamento dos produtos retornados devido a maior agilidade nesse processo reverso.
