“…Although the paper is an interesting contribution, we feel that more research should be done to validate the hypotheses, especially since more recovery options exist (such as reuse and refurbishing) and more types of products and systems should be considered (the authors restrict themselves to electronic products). De Brito, Dekker and Flapper (2003) provide an overview of some 60 cases on Reverse Logistics in which they also give an overview of the products handled.…”

Reverse Logistics has been stretching out worldwide, involving all the layers of supply chains in various industry sectors. While some actors in the chain have been forced to take products back, others have pro-actively done so, attracted by the value in used products One way or the other, Reverse Logistics has become a key competence in modern supply chains.

Rommert DekkerErasmus University Rotterdam debrito@few.eur.nl, dekker@few.eur.nl Version April-2003Abstract Reverse Logistics has been stretching out worldwide, involving all the layers of supply chains in various industry sectors. While some actors in the chain have been forced to take products back, others have pro-actively done so, attracted by the value in used products. One way or the other, Reverse Logistics has become a key competence in modern supply chains. In this paper, we present a content analysis of reverse logistics issues. To do so, we propose a content framework focusing on the following questions with respect to reverse logistics: why? what? how ?; and, who?, i.e. driving forces and return reasons, what type of products are streaming back, how are they being recovered, and who is executing and managing the various operations. These four basic characteristics are interrelated and their combination determines to a large extent the type of issues arising from the resulting reverse logistics system.

“…Incentive program may be carried out as proposed by De Brito [18], for instance rubbish collectors do their work collecting and sorting all mobile phones and other E-waste in this center and are paid base on number (amount) of works they've performed. This is much better then they work as their own way and the result may decrease product quality.…”

Abstract-Waste and other second-hand goods management in Indonesia are still not properly managed, while used products still have their economic value. E-waste is one of many second-hand goods that are not handled properly. E-waste is defined as the rubbish of electronic products. Mobile phone is one of the electronic products that are almost used by most of Indonesian people, ranging from people having low income to those having a huge income. The influence of lifestyle makes mobile phone lifespan is very short. High level of consumption and short life time make mobile phones are not used accordingly and quickly become waste. When this waste is not managed properly then it will accumulate and damage our nature, because almost all mobile phone components are nonorganic materials. Used mobile phones still have economic value and some of their components can be recycled or reused. Therefore this study focuses on promoting reverse handling management of used mobile phones from the Indonesian consumers. The main strategy is aligned with Reverse Logistics concept where value recovery and proper disposal become the main consideration. In this design, a strategy will be discussed throughout the stakeholders who will be involved in the return process so the process can run effectively and efficiently. Consideration of recycling or reusing used product can reduce the retrieval of raw materials from the nature. The problem solution will certainly have an impact on our natural resources balance. When this strategy works successfully then it will certainly contribute in preserving of nature.

“…Taking into account generated quantities of DW, we can say that these components represent a real added value. However, Brito et al (2002) consider the condition of retuned product and its quality as the crucial criteria for the choice of reprocessing step ( Fig. 1) in RSC.…”

“…Many researchers consider that the motivations of RSC are the same as the sustainable development (economic, environmental and social) (Millet , 2010). Brito et al (2002) classify the RL driving forces into three categories i.e. economic, legislative and aspects relative to the extended responsibility of enterprises.…”

A reverse supply chain is viewed as a process from consumption point to recovery point and the management of domestic waste is considered as a specific and complex reverse supply chain. This important sector represents a high challenging problem for our cities, constrained by financial, social, health and environmental considerations. This paper proposes multicriteria decision aid to help choose an efficient domestic waste management strategy. In fact, Multicriteria decision making techniques are considered as a key option to solve this type of problems, giving a solution that represents a good compromise between different preferences. The adopted approach consists in outranking a set of candidate management plans using a method based on partial aggregation criteria. This model is applied on a real case study of an Algerian city and to validate the obtained results, a deep sensitivity analysis is carried out, giving the most appropriate plans.Growing Science Ltd.
