Abstract

Dispersion of reverse logistics resources makes it difficult to create relationships between demanders and providers, thereby the personalized demand for the construction of enterprise reverse logistics cannot be satisfied and the service quality cannot be guaranteed. Aiming at these problems, this paper presents a platform and method of enterprise reverse logistics based on bilateral resource integration (RLBRI). The method creates a third-party reverse logistics platform to accumulate a mass of reverse logistics demanders and providers together. And the platform integrates bilateral resources and acts as an intermediary to establish relationships between two sides. Through the platform, a complete and high-quality business chain for enterprise reverse logistics will be built efficiently. Finally put forward an effective strategy of non-defective reverse logistics depends on the integrity checking service provided by third-party logistics. By using this strategy it can short the distance of non-defective reverse transportation. Computational tests validate the strategy.

Highlights

  • The rest of the paper is structured as follows

  • This paper proposes to build a third-party reverse logistics platform based on bilateral resource integration in which the third-party reverse logistics providers (3PRL) provide one or more parts of the reverse logistics links and enterprises are demanders to build their own reverse logistics business chains

  • The third-party reverse logistics platform consists of three main parts: reverse logistics demanders, reverse logistics providers and third-party centre
