Reverse Logistic Decision Using Goal Programming : a Review

Abstract

Customer demand are increasing, the companies always want to fulfill it. The limited resources maket them compete for new material to fufill all demands. In another hand, the limited disposal space can also be problem if the production increased. The complexcity in SCM problem need to be solve. Thus, this paper aims to identify how far the research about Reverse Logistic (RL) as part of SCM has explained, especially RL model using Goal Programming. Furthermore, this paper can develop a research agenda for the research gap. This research used a comprehensive literature review. Some paper from ProQuest, Emerald, EBSCO have been analyzed in the term of research purpose, method theoretical approach and level of analysis. The review shows there have been many RL papers with many mathematkcal and simulation approaches, including Goal Programming. It identifies some research gaps to apply Goal Programming model with uncertainties condition as the future research direction.
