APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 382

Which or the following disposition decisions in a reverse logistics operation generally results in the highest recuperated profit for a company?

Answer options

• A. Disassembly
• B. Recycling
• C. Remanufacturing
• D. Scrapping for cash

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Remanufacturing is the correct answer because it restores used products to like-new condition, allowing companies to sell them at a higher price. In contrast, disassembly, recycling, and scrapping for cash generally yield lower profit margins compared to remanufacturing, as they often involve more costs or lower resale values.
