How to deal with challenges and limitations of reverse logistics
INTRODUCTION
Reverse logistics, also termed as aftermarket logistics refers to the set of actions that are carried
out after a product has been sold out in order to recapture the products value and to end its life
cycle. It naturally involves the product being returned to its manufacturer where the product can
be rebuilt either reused or new parts or servicing by which this might refer to customer service or
even product returns.( Bouzon, Govindan, Rodriguez & Campos, 2016) It can be more profitable
and more efficient with better management and planning like the other processes of the supply
chain management. For instance, reverse logistics has its own advantages and limitations to a
company. This recommendation shows the steps that innovative technology has taken in order to
handle and overcome these challenges and limitations of reverse logistics for Mercedes Benz.
