| Abstract | One important aspect of reverse logistics is to have a correct and timely estimation of return flow of material. Improved forecast accuracy can lead to a better decision making in strategic, tactical and operational areas of the organization. Very little research has been done about the forecasting aspect of reverse logistics. For higher forecast accuracy, more robust method is required. The methodology presented here is based on the return reason codes (RC). The incoming returns are split into different categories using return reason codes. These reason codes are further analyzed to forecast returns. The computation part of this model uses a combination of two approaches namely extreme point approach and central tendency approach. Both the approaches are used separately for separate types of reason codes and then results are added together. The extreme point approach is based upon data envelopment analysis (DEA) as a first step combined with a linear regression while central tendency approach uses a moving average. For certain type of returns, DEA evaluates relative ranks of the products using single input and multiple outputs. Once this is completed, linear regression defines a correlation between relative rank (predictor variable) and return quantity (response variable). For the remaining type of returns we use a moving average of percent returns to estimate the central tendency. Thus, by combining two approaches for different types of return reason codes, we have developed a model that can be used to forecast product returns for the consumer electronics industry. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
