Week 3 discussion

RL Myth?

Let’s think about this world of reverse logistics in a different way.
Many textbooks describe the supply chain and logistics and transportation processes as a positive network of people and machines working together, interactively, efficiently.
Broad brush statements such as the above are what lead students or any professional astray when you apply these global concepts locally. So, let’s dive into some myth aspects or issues with our reverse logistic best practices. We will explore two.

First, we have what has been written about as the Green technology in the development and use of electric cars as a best practice.  What is the purpose of having all these electric or Green cars on the US highways? How do they contribute to the elimination of Green House gases or reduce the Carbon Footprint, or just help our society in any way? After you answer that pro part of this question, then try to find some negative aspect to this Green transportation movement.

So, is the Green car a myth to meeting its stated purpose(s)?
