National logistics system in Indonesia can be categorized as inefficient logistics system due to current number of non-value added (NVA) activities. The unreliable National logistics system and the complexity of distribution system are the big obstacles. This study aims to analyze the value and to propose recommendation for further improvement of National distribution system for imported product. This study employed convenience sampling through in-depth interview to analyze the activity in freight forwarder (FF), distributor and retailer. To demonstrate and analyze the activity process in each party, Process Activity Mapping (PAM) was used as a tool. The study results showed that the delivery speed in Jakarta (8.4 min/km) is slower than that of Surabaya (6.6 min/km). The government support through creating adequate infrastructure, good bureaucracy system and good collaboration directly affects the activities of FF, distributor and retailer. Improving FF performance in a timely and reliable manner is required to reduce errors that may occur. Moreover, encouraging the practice of cold chain management is also necessary in distributing the product throughout Indonesia. The pull strategy can be chosen by retailer to eliminate storage activity. Meanwhile, the use of information technology (IT) system is essential to encourage better inventory management, database management and sharing information in distributor and retailer stage.

“…Food features affect logistics performance including: Shelf life time, production throughput time, temperature control transportation, and production seasonality (Vlachos, 2003;Aramyan et al 2006;Hsiao et al, 2010). Gustavsson and Otterdijk (2011) asserted that mechanical damage or spillage during harvest and postharvest, processing, distribution and consumption points result in food losses and waste.…”

This study aimed to examine reverse logistics across the food product life cycle. The literature review of reverse logistics factors in food industry produced a set of supply chain performance measures. Using a survey, questionnaires were sent to 200 practitioners with experience in food supply chain operations. In total, 48 usable questionnaires were returned, resulting in 24% response rate. The contribution of this study lies in extending the body of knowledge of reverse food logistics during product life cycle. It offers practical advice to manage reverse food logistics. Results indicate that customer expectations are more significant during the introduction and growth stages. The effectiveness of the return process in the introduction stage will determine the future of the product and companies need to manage quality problems effectively. The paper discusses managerial implications and offers recommendations for future research.
