Fashion Electronics Closed-loop Supply Chain System Design

Closed-loop supply chain is a closed system which is composed of a positive supply chain and a reverse supply chain, changing the open-loop process that the product being distributed to the consuming place to the reused closed-loop process that the product being delivered to the consuming place and then back to the manufacturing place. The technology of implementation of the closed-loop supply chain has matured. Through the use of closed-loop supply chain management, enterprises can not only increase revenue, reduce costs, but also increase customer values, strengthen competitive advantages, improve the supply chain performance. Thus, the implementation of closed-loop supply chain for enterprise can be of strategic importance and real economic significance.With china's rapid economic development, improved living standards and increasing personalized consumers'demands, besides the functions itself, consumers'demands on electronic products has a huge increasing in fashion, thus, resulting in a wider variety emerging electronic products and shorter life cycles. With the electronics replacement accelerates, consumers have large reluctant discarded functionality intact but outdated old products. The existence of these old products has become obstacles on the way to the further promotion of new products, the problem of how to eliminate these obstacles and accelerate product replacement frequencies is placed in front of the fashion electronic product manufacturing enterprise. Based on this, this paper in the perspective of closed-loop supply chain, and take the fashion electronic products as the study subject, analyzed the that through the well designed closed-loop supply chain system, that is the manufacturer voluntarily recall the old products which are outdated but could not bear to be discarded by the consumers, and to reach the aim of clearing obstacles on the way to promote the sales of new products, improving business efficiency and competitiveness ability.This paper includes six parts. The first part introduces the research background, purpose and significance. The second part sorts out the theory of the closed-loop supply chain, defines the meaning and characteristics of closed-loop supply chain, and the strategic significance in the implementation of the closed-loop supply chain. In the third part, I made analysis on the closed-loop supply chain system of fashion electronic products, summarized the features of the closed-loop supply chain system of fashion electronic products. In the following part, I designed the profile of closed-loop supply chain system of fashion electronic products, the four key processes includes product design and manufacturing, distribution networks, retail networks and logistics support. The fifth part, I make the performance evaluation on the design of closed-loop supply chain system of fashion electronic products. In the last part, I committed the summary about the research of this paper, and discussed the significance of implementation closed-loop supply chain.
