Reverse logistics

Predmet ovog završnog rada je povratna logistika, njezina uloga u dobavnom lancu, te značaj koji ona ima na okolinu. Obzirom da je povratna logistika relativno mlada grana u modernoj logistici za očekivati je da nije u potpunosti istražena i da se o njoj može puno naučiti. Cilj ovog rada je pobliže se upoznati s radom poslovne logistike, njezinim segmentima i načinom na koji ona djeluje. Za svaku je kompaniju izrazito važno stabilizirati proces povratne logistike, dati joj na važnosti i neprekidno istraživati nove i bolje načinje njezina djelovanja jer dobro planiranje i djelovanje povratne logistike može biti njezin najveći adut. Ukoliko se dobro iskoristi sve što povratna logistika pruža moguće je ostvariti konkurentsku prednost, zadržati potrošače, smanjiti troškove i ojačati kompaniju. Također, utjecaj koji povratna logistika ima na okoliš je izniman, a recikliranje predmeta osim novčane prednosti donosi nemjerljivu prednost cijeloj zajednici.The subject of this final thesis is reverse logistics, its role in the supply chain, and the importance it has on the environment.
