Abstract

This article presents the use of value stream mapping tools in an enterprise which is a reverse logistics link in the chain. Products that have completed their life cycle play an important role in the sustainable economy, where it is sought to recover value from waste. Forming a continuous flow of enterprise reverse logistics is complex, because it requires a different approach to the material and information flows. These flows are not focused on the customer and do not create value but on an attempt to recover value from waste and / or secure their development.

Keywords: value stream, reverse logistic, lean management.
