Strategic Partnership- ‘Close the Loop’

•In late 2010, Xerox partnered with Close the Loop, one of the world's largest
recyclers of imaging supplies that specializes in cartridge returns.

•Close the Loop collects U.S. customers’ returns and manages the recycling on
behalf of Xerox using a patented material separation process that recovers used
materials for reuse in new printer cartridges and other products.

•These processes enable virtually all material returned through the program to be
beneficially managed.

•This partnership both simplifies the returns process for customers and also allows
more of the return stream to be recycled into useful products.
Features of Closed loop supply chain
• Closed-loop supply chain: supply chains that are designed to consider the
processes required for returns of products, in addition to the traditional
forward processes.
• These additional processes (also referred to as the reverse supply chain)
are:
• Product acquisition: the task of retrieving the used product. This is a key
to creating a profitable closed-loop supply chain.
• Reverse logistics: the process of planning, implementing, and controlling
the efficient, effective inbound flow and storage of secondary goods and
related information opposite to the traditional supply chain direction for
the purpose of recovering value or proper disposal.
• Test, sort and disposition: testing and sorting the returns and disposition
refers to how a product is disposed of, e.g. sold to a broker, sold to an
outlet, sent to landfill, etc.
– Refurbish: similar to reconditioning but requires more work to repair the
product.
– Selling and redistribution.

WASTE FREE use of resources, minimize waste, reuse material where
GOAL feasible and recycle what can’t be reused

• Xerox’s Green World Alliance initiative provides a collection and


reuse/recycling program for spent imaging supplies.
• Xerox’s Product Takeback and Recycling program manages equipment at end
of life.
• Xerox is investing in technologies that reduce the creation of waste.
• Example:
– The solid ink imaging process utilizes compact “cartridge-free” solid ink
sticks with no plastic housings or casings, thereby reducing print-related
waste by up to 90% compared with comparable color laser products.

Total Waste Diverted from Landfills from


• This partnership with Xerox customers Cartridges, Bottles and Waste Toner through
resulted in more than 3.4 million Reuse/Recycle
cartridges, toner containers and other
used supply items being returned in 2010.
• Eco-Box returns allow the customer to
order free bundles of Eco Boxes that hold
from five to 12 cartridges per
return, depending on the size of the item.
• Xerox continues to monitor global
customer feedback and industry best
practices to stay on the path of continuous
improvement.
Waste Prevention & Management
Well-Established Collecting and Reprocessing Methods

Xerox customers have three options for returning spent consumables to Xerox for
reuse and recycling at no charge:

Individual unit
Eco Box
returns for Pallet returns.

sale

• Returned products are sorted, and items suitable for remanufacturing


are cleaned, inspected and then remanufactured.
• Those which cannot be remanufactured are recycled.
• Remanufactured cartridges, containing an average of 90%
reused/recycled parts, are built and tested to the same performance
specifications as new products.
Waste Prevention & Management
Product Take-Back and Recycling

• Xerox enables reuse according to the following hierarchy:


– Reuse of complete end item as used or new, depending on the condition of the
machine. This requires the least reprocessing, transportation and energy usage.

– Remanufacturing or conversion into a newer-generation product or part Nearly 40% of


machines returned in the U.S. are sent for remanufacturing of some sort.

– Reuse of major modules, subcomponents, and parts for spares or manufacturing. In


2010, almost 200,000 parts were stripped off of used machines and sent back out to the
field for reuse either in manufacturing or as repair parts.

– Material recycling. Any remaining portion of a machine after the above processes have
been followed is stripped of any recyclable material (e.g., plastics, copper wire) and
material requiring special disposal services, such as PWBs, batteries and lamps. The
remainder of the machine is then crushed and sent to a scrap metal reclaim facility.
Waste Prevention & Management
Waste Diverted from Landfills through
Remanufacture and Parts Reuse
E-Waste

•Xerox continues to operate its European


take-back program to enable equipment
remanufacturing and parts reuse

• A waste vendor approval process assesses


the safety and environmental practices as well
as compliance history of each vendor.

•Xerox does not allow its vendors to send


electronic scrap to developing nations for
processing.
Process Flow
Xerox –green supply chain
In 1991, the Xerox Corporation set a goal for the company to
become waste-free.

• Xerox cites a number of benefits of


a waste-free company:
• financial,
• competitive advantage,
• compliance
• legislative regulation,
• meeting customer requirements.

Proactive leadership is Xerox’s stated goal in its environmental programs.


All Xerox products are required, at a minimum, to comply with government
standards and meet Xerox’s internal environmental standards.
 Internal standards are frequently more stringent than existing legislative
requirements.
Process Flow

Process flows
comprises of:

•Forward Flow
•Reverse Flow
•Remanufactured
Flows
Product recovery process
• The product recovery process is as follows:
1) Products are collected from Xerox customers and returned to one of
centralized logistic return centers.
• Reverse flows represent the movement of goods from the end-user
to Xerox for disposition and reuse.

2) Remanufactured flows are the movement of remanufactured goods from


Xerox to customers.
• The customers for remanufactured products are often not the same
customers as for new equipment.
• The flow of remanufactured goods is a forward flow of
materials, not a reverse flow.
Product categorization for reuse
• Returned units are inspected and assigned to one of four graded categories. These
categories represent the most economically attractive use of the returned product.
The grades are the basis for the reuse alternative .
• Category 1 products are virtually unused machines requiring only minor servicing.
• Category 2 machines are in good condition. These machines require parts and
components to be replaced during the remanufacturing process.
• Category 3 machines are in good condition, but not economically fit for
remanufacturing. Therefore, parts and components are stripped off the frame of
the machine and enter the reused parts inventories.
• Machines are classified as category 2 or 3 based, in part, on the demand for
remanufactured machine and the levels of reused parts inventories.
• Category 4 machines are economically fit only for materials recycling.

• The categorization decision is based on


a variety of factors including:

– the overall condition of the machine,


– the age of the machine,
– the demand for reused parts, and
– current inventory levels of reused parts.
Results

Issues related to Reassemble-to-Order Process

The key dimensions in aggregate planning for a Reassemble-to-Order environment are :

• Xerox Europe reported a total of 116,308 copiers returned in 1999. The majority of these
units were returned from lease agreements.

• The quality of these returns is difficult to predict, because not only are copiers complex but
the condition of a photocopier is dependent on the intensity of its use and its age.

• Through the use of the nominal grading system , Xerox is able to determine the most
economic use of a copier—after the condition of the copier has been determined.

• The use of Signature Analysis profiles aid the examiner in determining the reusability of a
component.

• The complexity of the remanufacturing processes is directly related to not only the number
of part and components, but also the number of operations required to return each
component to usable status..
Issues related to Reassemble-to-Order
Process
• Xerox tracks leases to enable the forecasting of the rate of product
returns.

• Product returns from leasing, for non-OEM remanufacturers, represent


less than 5% of total returns.

• Consequently, forecasting product returns is difficult due to the


uncertainty associated with non-leasing returns.

• Matching return rates and sales rates is difficult. The volume of returns in
the case of value-added remanufacturing is significantly less than for
container reuse.

• Marketing is more complex for the remanufactured products, since


customers may require significant education and assurances to convince
them to purchase remanufactured products.
Managerial Concerns and Needs

• Xerox Europe does not make remanufactured copiers to stock and have chosen to reassemble the required
components and parts per each customer order.

• Managers in a Reassemble-to-Order (RATO) environment have greater information needs, since the
products, testing, and remanufacturing processes are significantly more complex than in a
Remanufacture-to-Stock (RMTS) environment.

• Further, these products are more expensive; therefore units awaiting disposition and inventoried
components may represent a sizable investment. There may be multiple economic uses for a
remanufactured component (e.g. spare or on a remanufactured unit), so inventory planning must take
this into account.

• The management of remanufacturing product and components must take into account the life cycle of the
product in the field (likely demand for spare parts and consumables) and the market life cycle (likely
demand for product in the future).

• A successful production planning system must be capable of coping with the inherent complexities in this
type of an environment. A disposal policy to balance supply and demand is an obvious concern.

• Xerox continues to expand its consumable return programs. Most recently, a new program called the
Green World Alliance is expected to increase worldwide return rates for retail and office products’
supplies.

• The anticipated growth in product returns makes the development of formal planning systems crucial to
ensure that product reuse programs continue to be value-added activities for Xerox.
Key concerns
 Design and implement a supply chain solution that
minimizes the impact of significant operational constraints

 Standardize and modernize its spare parts supply chain


with new business processes, systems and automation

 Maintain current service levels to its customers through the


transition phase

 Build a continuous improvement culture that strives to


increase supply chain efficiency

 Reduce operating costs


Solution
 Exel placed a supply chain management (SCM) consulting
team in the Xerox organization

 Closing three regional centres and transferring operations to


two existing locations

 Redesigning the two existing locations to manage increased


product flow

 Integrating all systems and processes across the network

 Implementing new warehouse and transportation
