Paper overview
The success of supply chain depends on good management and good communication, as well as reverse supply chain. Reverse supply chain is the returning flow of goods and information from consumers back to manufacturers for the purpose of recapture, recreate value or disposal. In recent years, many industries have been increasing attention in reverse supply chain because they concern about the effects of environments, socials and economics (Sustainable Development). This concerned has influenced around the globe. For example, Switzerland have legislation for used products called Advance Recycle fee, Thailand established the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) to support organizations and industries to effectively use energy and preserve the environment. Some industries such as computers and battery industries have reused obsolete products from consumers to reduce production cost. The main activities of reverse supply chain are getting products back from consumers and including support activities such as managing, inspecting, monitoring information and communication. Therefore, application of information technologies, such as RFID, the technology which used to identify the information of products and tracking location of the products. It will provide convenience for any related tasks, process improvement and inventory control.
