Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Army has a serious problem with materiel in the supply chain that is moving in the reverse direction. The supply chain is a series of inter-related processes and activities that move supplies and services from the suppliers to the ultimate end users. The reverse supply chain contains items that are either defective, damaged, or otherwise unneeded by the intended user. These items must be returned to the supplier for credit or disposal. The items in the reverse supply chain take longer to identify and process.

The Army is experiencing return rates as high as some Internet retailers. One possible solution to improve the management of these items, as proposed in this paper, is to establish a central returns management center at the Red River Army Depot. This center would be established along the. Seller Inventory # 9781288316502
