Repairs have many purposes. These, however, are quite simple. Steel and Rodriguez (2008) suggest that “reducing lead times at the lowest cost while maintaining an acceptable level of quality” is one of the most important goals. This is the goal that many companies want to receive. All total costs of the operation should always be considered in reverse logistics, whether it is outsourced or even performed within the company. Programs such as energy consumption, recycling programs and waste generation should all be included in repair facilities. Lead time is usually the biggest consideration when choosing a consumer electronics product, but many companies have recently discovered that business customers shouldn't just focus on TAT. Their main concern is not to run out of products for customers to replace. This different approach would require a change resulting in a closer relationship with the customer in order to have better insight into daily inventory and track any signs of stock shortages. Repairers face a lot of pressure. Therefore, less pressure on them could bring positive change and lead to more precise handling of products, as well as reduced transportation costs, which would then lead to lower transportation-related emissions. Repairs can be carried out more efficiently, which can reduce carbon emissions and therefore have a better impact on the environment.3.3.4 Recycling and ReuseThis sector or reverse logistics has proven quite difficult for businesses to adapt to. While this is the most obvious way to go green, it can be difficult for some businesses. This may be due to the prediction of field failures and the continued need of some companies for certain parts. Some companies put paper back in the middle of products and reduce most of the waste. These processes can have quite a significant impact on reverse logistics costs, as well as the carbon footprint. To benefit from this practice and be successful, the “green” initiatives taken must have a significant positive impact on the company's carbon footprint, and have succeeded in saving it a significant amount of money. Many companies such as Walmart can try to implement these practices by considering the manufacturing, packaging, and design of their products. However, to become truly “green,” the company will need to consider all factors, including all functions affecting the environment. Reverse logistics could one day belong to the customer sector, because it is the process that controls the use and disposal of parts and products that a company uses..
