La logística inversa y la gestión industrial en América Latina en los últimos 5 años: una revisión de la literatura científica

La revisión de la literatura científica del presente estudio tiene como objetivo conocer la importancia e implementación de la logística inversa y su implementación en la gestión industrial en América Latina en los últimos 5 años, La búsqueda de información se realizó: en la base de datos de las revistas científicas Redalyc, Scielo, Google académico, Sciencedirect En la selección de unidades de análisis se consideraron los siguientes criterios de inclusión: periodo de publicación de los paper, publicaciones referentes a América Latina, título de la investigación, palabras claves. Los resultados demuestran que existen un número considerable de artículos de investigación relacionado al tema en América Latina y el Caribe, la mayoría de las investigaciones corresponde a un diseño no experimental, el tipo de investigación que predomina es el análisis y que el total de la investigación analiza y responde a la pregunta de investigación. una limitación fue la precisión de datos en fuentes consultadas. Tal como hay resultados positivos también hay sectores en la industria en los que falta aplicar logística inversa para estar su implementación . Se concluye que se conocen el éxito de la logística inversa y la gestión industrial en América latina en los últimos 5 años

Drivers for reverse logistics in South Africa a taxonomic literature review

Abstract: various methods and literature have been developed to explain Reverse Logistics. In this paper, there is a review of scientific publications that have been reported in the literature. In addition, the paper analyse and identifies the drivers of reverse logistics

Supply Chain Management and Management Science: A Successful Marriage

The last century has witnessed extant studies on the applications of Management Science (MS) to a diverse set of Supply Chain Management (SCM) issues. This paper provides an overview of the contribution of MS within SCM. A framework is developed in this paper with a sampling of MS contributions to major SCM dimensions. Future research directions are presented

How the reverse supply chain enables original equipment manufacturers to compete on low price

Low price is perhaps the most widely present competitive parameter forcing firms to continuously reduce their operating costs. While much literature has investigated how firms can use their reverse supply chain (RSC) processes to comply with regulations or offer RSC-enabled product-attached services, the purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the firm’s RSC processes and overall operating costs. The paper asks the question of how a firm’s RSC processes enable continuous operating cost reductions. The paper’s research method combines a literature review of known RSC-enabled cost reduction opportunities with a multiple case study that explores unknown opportunities. The most used cost reduction opportunity among the six firms in the study’s case sample is reducing operating costs by replacing purchasing of virgin materials and internal production with recovery of used products returned through the firm’s RSC

Genetic algorithm for the cargo shunting cooperation between two hub-and-spoke logistics networks

Purpose: The overstocked goods flow in the hub of hub-and-spoke logistics network should be disposed of in time, to reduce delay loss and improve the utilization rate of logistics network resources. The problem we need to solve is to let logistics network cooperate by sharing network resources to shunt goods from one hub-and-spoke network to another hub-and-spoke network. Design/methodology/approach: This paper proposes the hub shunting cooperation between two hub-and-spoke networks. Firstly, a hybrid integer programming model was established to describe the problem, and then a multi-layer genetic algorithm was designed to solve it and two hub-and-spoke networks are expressed by different gene segments encoded by genes. The network data of two third-party logistics companies in southern and northern China are used for example analysis at the last step. Findings: The hub-and-spoke networks of the two companies were constructed simultaneously. The transfer cost coefficient between two networks and the volume of cargo flow in the network have an impact on the computation of hubs that needed to be shunt and the corresponding cooperation hubs in the other network. Originality/value: Previous researches on hub-and-spoke logistics network focus on one logistics network, while we study the cooperation and interaction between two hub-and-spoke networks. It shows that two hub-and-spoke network can cooperate across the network to shunt the goods in the hub and improve the operation efficiency of the logistics network.Peer Reviewe

Reverse logistics pricing strategy for a green supply chain: a view of customers’ environmental awareness

The effectiveness of a reverse logistics strategy is contingent upon the successful execution of activities related to materials and product reuse. Green supply chain (GSC) in reverse logistics aims to minimize byproducts from ending up in landfills. This paper considers a retailer responsible for recycling and a manufacturer responsible for remanufacturing. Customer environmental awareness (CEA) is operationalized as customer word-of-mouth effect. We form three game theoretic models for two different scenarios with different pricing strategies, i.e. a non-cooperative pricing scenario based on Stackelberg equilibrium and Nash equilibrium, and a joint pricing scenario within a cooperative game model. The paper suggests that stakeholders are better off making their pricing and manufacturing decision in cooperation
