Desing guru John Thackera, in 'In The Bubble', mentions a form of Logistics used to reduce waste and miles, instead of to increase speed to market. This seems like a related topic. 'Closed-loop logistics' is the term he uses.

In the Bubble: Designing in a Complex World - could be a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.35.82.136 (talk) 01:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon[edit]

Amazon is a company that is famous for their excellence in reverse logistics. Roughly one third of Amazon's order are returned. Since they have such a high number of orders returned, it is crucial that this part of their supply chain runs just as smoothly as the front end. The product can be thought of as in limbo while in the reverse logistics stage. The product is not making any money for the company while in this stage. Amazon tries to bring the product back to life by fixing, repackaging, or discarding the unit. Other online retailers who haven’t focused on their reverse logistics strategy may never bring that unit back to life. This would be a complete loss for the company. Minimizing these risks by not only tactically, but strategically viewing their entire supply chain as a closed loop, amazon has created a competitive advantage especially when compared to other online retailers. Amazon has created value for their customers and shareholders with this unique skill set. It would be beneficial to add a section on their strategy and execution since it is such a vital part of their business. ^[1] ^[2] A revision of the writing using the information from Global Logistics Assessments Reports Handbook Volume 1, International Business Publications USA, 2011 may be considered. It seems that the writing in the Wikipedia article is too similar to the original article and a paraphrase would be better suited. This use of close wording is violating one of the Five Pillars of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute. This pillar emphasizes the importance of proper editing, citations and plagiarism. These comments were made while keeping all Five Pillars of Wikipedia in mind with special emphasis on; Editors should treat each other with respect and civility. These suggestions were made with the intent of improving this particular Wikipedia article and good faith was assumed on the part of the original author.
