Reverse Logistics Management Affecting Sustainable Development: A Case Study of Malaplast Co., Ltd.
Keywords:
Logistics Management, Reverse Logistics Management, Sustainable DevelopmentAbstract
The objectives of this research aimed 1) to study reverse logistics management and sustainable development 2) to study reverse logistics management that influences the sustainable development of Malaplas Co.,Ltd. Tools used as questionnaires, data were collected from a sample of 37 employees, using a simple random sampling method. Statistics used were percentage, mean, standard deviation and multiple regression analysis. The research results found that reverse logistics management and sustainable development are at a high level. Reverse logistics management has an impact on sustainable development by 56.3 percent. The development approach is to choose a transportation method that is appropriate to the nature of the product. Stock of raw materials sufficient to meet demand Inspect products carefully before transporting them every time. Inspect and evaluate damaged assets to repair them and increase their value by selling them. It is also necessary to specify conditions for product claims to customers to provide services that can create satisfaction for customers. There is a process for separating raw materials and dangerous goods that can be recycled and those that cannot be recycled for proper disposal. Consider the importance of the surrounding environment by not releasing waste into the community and polluting the air environment. Establish policies to promote standards related to the prevention and control of pollution that affects the environment within the organization.
