碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 交通運輸研究所 === 98 === According to the common definition of industrial manufacture process, we utilized the raw material to produce product and the process of goods from supplier to customer we called “supply chain”. Remanufacturing and refurbishing activities are the core content of the reverse logistics. At present, the concept of reverse supply chain is attracting much attention with the increasing popularity of environmental and sustainable development issues. From the manufacture aspect, every company takes cost-effective strategy as the first priority to overcome the resource and financial crises since the raw materials used in production are not renewable resources and the price will keep increasing. In the environmental protection part, pollution control and sustainable resource concern also promote the development of reverse logistics. Consequently, more and more retailers try to consider the reverse logistics as an alternative to reduce cost and protect our earth at the same time. This study is to find out the potential problems in the integrating process of reverse supply chain in Taiwan. We collected all the available literature to systematically describe the important factors which decide the success of the integrated procedure. The critical corporations in current stage of Taiwan were chosen for the case study. After the literature discussion, we setup the structure for the purpose of discovering the fundamental problems in each case including four aspects: supply chain, policy, market and technology. Going through the case studies, (1) we sorted out the stable source of recycle material supply was the essential factor in supply chain aspect. (2) In the policy consideration, the regulation setup and industrial policy of the government will be the major force to push the manufacture participate the green supply chain plan. (3) Currently the lead corporations in international market are developing the green market by the specific green marks to popularize the reverse logistics and this tendency will threat most manufactures in the developing countries including Taiwan. (4) The maturity of green technology applied in the production process could determine feasibility. Furthermore, the inconsistent quality of each member is also a crucial reason to increase the difficulty for integrating the reverse logistics in Taiwan.
