Abstract
After the general structuring of reverse logistics activities outlined in the previous chapter, we now take a quantitative perspective on this field. The purpose of this chapter is to outline the state of affairs of quantitative research in reverse logistics and to explain our contribution. To this end, Section 2.1 locates reverse logistics within the broader context of supply chain management. Section 2.2 characterizes the state of reverse logistics research in comparison to general supply chain management literature and highlights the contribution of the REVLOG network. Finally, Section 2.3 explains the structure of this book and provides an outline of the individual chapters.
