What is reverse logistics?
A supply chain that is dedicated to the reverse flow of products and materials for reuse, returns, repair , remanufacture, resell and/ or recycling.
Reverse Logistics is the flow of technology assets opposite to the flow in a conventional supply chain. An optimally run reverse logistics loop can recover as much as 23% of the original capital investment.
Over the past few years, Reverse Logistics has become a hot topic and the buzzword in the supply chain industry. Recent research shows that 43% of the value for recovered assets is lost because of inefficiencies in Reverse Logistics.
To meet this challenge, MDSi specializes in providing Reverse Logistics for network assets. This expertise has led to tremendous reduction in network capital expenditures and has helped our clients increase the utilization of recovered assets.
