Abstract :
Increasing attention to the environment and resource sustainability has extended the traditional forward supply chain (SC) into closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). Meanwhile, with the fast development and application of ICTs, especially like wireless technology, product related information embedded in different phases of the SC is strongly supposed to be obtained and integrated so as to realize the closed-loop product information (CLPI) tracking and feedback (TAF). Based on an EU project, models of three levels of abstraction for the CLPI TAF using wireless technology are proposed to elucidate and decompose the whole scenario, which acts as a systematic approach to meet the requirements in this area.
