Reverse Logistics

The reverse logistics metamodel's design started with the literature review. The literature review sources can be found on the last section in this page. Based on the studied frameworks, models, and definitions, we identified the elements commonly regarded as necessary for model RL scenarios, in conjunction with their crucial attributes and relationships. We discarded most elements not pertaining to the RL domain, such as forward logistics elements, although a minimal subset was necessary in the final version of the metamodel. We selected elements of a relatively high level of abstraction to make the metamodel more expressive and thus more likely to be useful to represent varied scenarios.
