Abstract
Closed loop supply chains reducing waste, energy consumption and
natural resource depletion which all contribute to more sustainable production
and products. For mass customization however, the challenges of closed loop
supply chains are emphasized by the large variety of inbound end-of-life products
from customers which complicates handling and forecasting. This paper
analyses these challenges in the specific context mass customization using
theoretical considerations and three case studies.
