Selection Model for a Third-Party Reverse Logistics Provider

چکیده
Abstract With the development and advancement of reverse logistics concepts and practice, the evaluation and selection of vendors or partners for the specific function of reverse logistics support becomes more important. The factors that play an important role in selecting a third-party reverse logistics provider are different than the factors for selecting a forward provider. These factors are reviewed and developed in this paper. How these factors can be used for a supply chain management decision (selection of a partner) is modeled within a decision making framework.
