Reverse logistics network: A review

As the fundamental and strategic issue in reverse logistics, reverse logistics network has become one of the academic research focuses. This paper gives a literature review on reverse logistics network researches in the last decade, and summarizes the research output of two major methodologies: case study and quantity model. This paper further classifies the numerous reverse logistic network models as closed-loop model, generic model, stochastic model and 3PLs model. This comprehensive review may help identify the future research opportunities.
