Abstract :
To construct integrated information systems supporting reverse logistics management is the substantial basis to realize e-waste tack-back effectively. In this paper the information sharing targets of reverse supply chain are analyzed, an information sharing model of e-waste take-back based on the third-party is established by means of Electronic Product Code (EPC). This paper also discusses EPC´s applications in e-waste take-back supply chain and illustrates how to realize information sharing of functional modules in the information management system based on the third-party take-back Finally, an integrated information system framework based on multi-agent is presented to improve the efficiency of e-waste take-back.
