In the first part of the paper a survey of the most important models used for inventory management in reverse logistics is presented; models are classified according to the approach used for modeling demand and products returns. In the second part of the paper an advanced simulation framework based for inventory management in reverse logistics is proposed. The simulation framework is used to compare different inventory control policies with the aim of understanding their behavior (in terms of total costs) within a supply chain with products return.

Abstract
In the first part of the paper a survey of the most important models used for inventory management in reverse logistics is presented; models are classified according to the approach used for modeling demand and products returns. In the second part of the paper an advanced simulation framework based for inventory management in reverse logistics is proposed. The simulation framework is used to compare different inventory control policies with the aim of understanding their behavior (in terms of total costs) within a supply chain with products return.File in questo prodotto:
