As an important element of enterprise logistics system, reverse logistics has brought significant economic benefit to an enterprise while it is also a source of costs for the enterprise. This article intends to construct a cost-benefit model of reverse logistics enabling precise computation of the total costs and ultimate benefit of reverse logistics to facilitate enterprises implementing reverse logistics to better reduce their reverse logistics costs and enhance the overall operational efficiency of reverse logistics.
