This paper examines reverse logistics practices in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in Ghana. The sample were selected on hierarchical levels using stratified sampling methods. With a 100% response rate, data gathered from both primary and secondary sources were analyzed using...

This study presents a cost optimisation model for multi-variety (or multi-type) Recycled Waste Reverse Logistics System (RWRLS). A linear analytical model is formulated which minimises the total reverse logistics costs for multi-variety Recycled Waste Reverse Logistics System (RWRLS) subjected...

The competitive environments have led to short the product life cycle for many consumer goods. This has led to complex environmental challenges especially in developing countries. Reverse logistics plays a major role in addressing reducing waste and protecting the environment not only in Kenya...

In this paper we extend and apply MRP theory towards reverse logistics including the considerations of transportation consequences. Our aim is to demonstrate the versatility obtained from using MRP theory when combining Input–Output Analysis and Laplace transforms. This enables an analysis of...

Croatia needs to find new sources of economic growth to attain income convergence with the EU; this was true before the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and it is an even more urgent challenge now. Improvements in freight logistics, which permeate the...
