Best Practices in Reverse Logistics:
- Ensure that the whole reverse logistics process is supervised by top management.
- Create a separate and distinct Profit and Loss division.
- Have a strong monitor in place to collect data and perform rules-based processing as early as feasible in the return’s lifetime.
- Share the information on returns you’ve collected with engineering and design as well as other divisions such as packaging.
- Wherever feasible, automate data collection and procedures, such as warranty certification and tracking.
- Define fair and unambiguous rules and processes for managing returns.
- Improve customer service to avoid and halt returns before they occur.
- Make it simple and quick for consumers to return items when they are not up to expectations.
- Evaluate the cost of contracting out some or possibly all of your reverse logistics to a third party and determine the cost-effectiveness of that solution.

The solutions are specific to your team's needs. They are based on the 'golden nuggets’ within your data that many clients are collecting internally, through the eCommerce and retail partners, third party logistics (3PLs), repair centers and refurbish, and the secondary markets. The data never lies; you need the expertise to interpret the data to turn it into functional decision trees. Many times, clients are too close to the data to recognize the patterns.

Reverse Logistics Solutions can help you implement a strategic approach to reducing product returns using the FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis). FMEA is a method for evaluating and controlling the risk associated with potential failure sites. This well-known technique is used in a variety of fields, including process and product development.
Reverse FMEA is a systematic method of continuous improvement designed to keep an FMEA study up to date and moving forward. As a result, it is a tool that aids in the FMEA process.
Strategy Development
Reverse Logistics strategy development is the process of developing a blueprint for an organization’s long-term success.

Reverse logistics is the process of getting goods back into the supply chain after they have reached their end destination. The main goals of reverse logistics are to reduce waste, increase customer satisfaction, and improve financial performance.
What is the strategy development for reverse logistics solutions?

The first strategy is to develop a formalized business process with clear responsibilities for all parties involved in the process. The second strategy is to manage reverse logistics in-house without any formalized processes in place.
