Reverse Logistics Performance Indicators for the Construction Sector: A Building Project Case

Abstract

While the performance evaluation of reverse logistics (RL) practices in the construction sector is crucial, it is seemingly limited compared to that in the manufacturing sector. As the project life cycle in the construction sector is typically long, effective coordination among the stakeholders is needed to integrate RL into each phase of the project life cycle. This paper proposes a new model of RL for the construction industry, incorporating the dimensions, elements, and, most importantly, indicators needed for the evaluation of RL performance. The model was initially derived from the extant literature. It was then refined through (1) focus group discussion, by which suggestions pertinent to the proposed model were collated from academics and practitioners, and (2) judgments by academics and practitioners to validate the model. The validated model includes 21 indicators to measure RL performance, spanned throughout the green initiation, green design, green material management, green construction, and green operation and maintenance phases. The paper offers a new method for how RL can be adopted in the construction industry by proposing an innovative model that will benefit stakeholders in the construction industry.

Analyzing sustainable reverse logistics capability and triple bottom line: the mediating role of sustainability culture

“…Reusing, refurbishing, recycling and remanufacturing are evaluated to be RL functions that facilitate the attainment of GSCM (Agrawal et al, 2016;Saruchera and Asante-Darko, 2021;Wibowo et al, 2022). RL provides businesses to handle product returns.…”

Faktor-Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Keberhasilan Implementasi Reverse Logistic (Case Studi: Construction Company)

“…Limbah konstruksi biasanya dapat dikategorikan sebagai limbah padat (misalnya: sampah, lumpur, polusi udara, dan emisi CO2) dan limbah non-padat (misalnya: penundaan, pengerjaan ulang, dan biaya berlebih selama proses konstruksi) (Wibowo et al, 2022). Sektor konstruksi menghasilkan sekitar 35,5% dari semua limbah, oleh karena itu insinyur konstruksi harus mengelola hampir 871 juta ton limbah per tahun.…”

A Review of the Impacts of Reverse Logistics on Retailers of Fast Moving Consumer Goods

“…The authors argue that factors such as political instability, leadership style, trade union issues, prolonged negotiating periods, and corruption can have a major impact on an organization's strategy and, by extension, its performance. Wibowo et al [32] quantified the impact of RL performance indicators on the long-term success of FMCG companies. Cost, recycling effectiveness, time, quality, and trash were some of the metrics considered.…”
