Managing Closed-Loop Supply Chains

By Simme Douwe P. Flapper

Book Overview

Closed-Loop Supply Chains (CLSC) offers companies a unique opportunity to improve their profits whilst serving societal responsibility. The management of CLSC differs in a number of ways from managing supply chains in general. The book examines these differences and how these differences may be dealt with in practice, by offering a concrete framework, introducing the different aspects related to CLSC and their mutual relations, in a systematic logical way as well as cases clustered according to the inputs for a CLSC. The framework and especially the cases from successful companies offer the reader an invalueable help to build and improve CLSC.
