Sunday Head, senior professor of the Foundation Icil, presented in the frame of the living room Logistics Madrid 2012, the reverse ‘Logistical book', a work that analyses the characteristics of the processes and products that constitute the returns, the returns, the mermas of process and the gestión of the products that are not sold or that arrive at the end of his useful life.

In the presentation of the book, Sunday Head was accompanied by Jaime Looks, technical director of the Foundation Icil.

According to the author, the publication, that has been promoted and coordinated by the Foundation Icil and the Foundation Ecotic and edited by the publisher Marge, incorporates economic theory focalizándola strictly in the reverse logistics. Besides, the work also has practical cases implemented in distinct fields and with a section devoted to the legislation, that is “very wide and very diverse”, according to Sunday Head.

For Domigo Head, the reverse logistics is distinct as in which organisation want to apply , since it does not go to be the same to manage returns that try reduce the environingingmental impact of a company.

During the presentation, the author referred to the leadership that is taking the reverse logistics, especially in the field of the e-commerce and the on-line sales. Thus, for Sunday Head “the challenge more acuciante is that we are able to do of efficient form the on-line sale, because it is a sector that grows year after year in magnitudes of two digits. The suitable and effective gestión of the on-line sales goes through that the reverse logistics was a competitive advantage and no a problem”.

To finalise the presentation, Sunday Head referred to the reverse logistics like an element that, inside the chain of value, “allows to close the global cycle of an economic and environingingmental system”, adding that “integrate the reverse logistics in the processes of a company is already an advantage but inside some years, not to have it will be a problem and a competitive disadvantage”.
