eate profitable business opportunities . For managing the returns, the panies can reuse them, resell or destroy them. Retailers may return the goods due to seasonality, expiry or because of transit damage. Customers may return the goods due to poor quality. Managing the product returns increases the customer service level and retention level. Each activity from procurement to distribution generates waste and reduction of this waste is a major goal of environmentally conscious business practices. Manufactures see reverse logistics as a process of recovering defective products or reusable containers back from the user. In the emerce since buyers need assurance for refund, reverse logistics is an important issue. Owing to RL approach, this area present an opportunity for research. A conceptual framework for managing retail reverse logistics operation is presented in .In the case study conducted by , three panies were visited and identified reverse logistics process flow and the strategic issues a firm may use for petitive advantage. An integrated forward logistics multi echelon distribution inventory supply chain model and closed loop multi echelon distribution for the built to order environment was designed using geic algorithm and particle swarm optimization .A model for green supply chain management with inplete information was developed .Reverse logistics was suggested as an area for future research and the advantages of soft puting is its capability to tolerate imprecision, uncertainty .A mathematical model for the design of Reverse Logistics work design was proposed considering the location and allocation of facilities. A dynamic model was constructed and validated the same using the data collected from the puter pany. A distribution system which uses a bination of manufacturing and remanufacturing was proposed and the models were pared with respect to the various prices. From the above references, studies have been done for the RL work design and the selection of third party logistics provider. But AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS has not been used by any researcher for selection of RL operating channels selection. The panies can choose three operating channels for performing the RL activities a) Manufacturer collecting the used productsManufacturer Operation (MO). The manufacturer should control human resources, information systems and related equipment. b) Retailer will collect the used products Joint Operation (JO). c) Outsourcing to third partyThird Party Operation (TPO). Remanufacturing costs may be reduced by third party. Since the third party logistics is using his latest technology and resource sharing advantages, uncertainty of recovery may be reduced. By outsourcing reverse logistics activities, the organizations can concentrate on their core business operation, but customer satisfaction and delivery performance may be improved. Third party reverse logistics provider will pete with each other in specific areas like price, quality and credit. Logistics costs will be reduced and order fill rate will be improved. Each channel has its distinct characters and suitable for pa。
