    Reverse logistics in a pharmaceutical company: a case study
    Company: Schering, germany
    Period:  2000
    Authors: Ruud Teunter, Karl Inderfurth, Stefan Minner, Rainer Kleber
    Abstract:
    In this paper we discuss the two main reverse logistics processes at
    the pharmaceutical company Schering. Both are associated with the production of
    active ingredients from raw materials. Firstly, by-products are reused, because
    they contain valuable materials. Secondly, impure solvents are recycled or
    thermally utilized. We describe these reverse logistics processes and discuss
    their effects on production planning and inventory control. Additionally, we give
    insights into the economic valuation of product recovery.
