In addition, the effectiveness of supply chain is measured using on-time delivery (OTD) metric, which is a common measurement to ensure the fast and efficient delivery of the goods from the time customer puts his/her order. However, the work of supply chain is not completed as the customer send a significant amount of products for return for reasons such as wrong product ordered, damaged products delivered, quality of products does not match the description, the customer no longer needs the products and others.

Implementation of efficient and effective reverse logistics process can reduce this cost and help companies to recover a significant share of revenue. Advantages of reverse logistics such as an extension to the life cycle of the product by repairing, recycling, and others, it can be used as asset recovery to extract as much value as possible and provides a second return of investment.
