References: 18) Appendix – Questionnaire Bhavika Mistry* The paper presents a comparative study of a reverse logistics problem, i.e. refilling of LPG cylinders in urban and rural areas. Due to large consumption of LPG cylinders for domestic purpose and market price fluctuations of gas reserves that are present in India and that are being imported which has a lot of uncertainty, there is a need to optimize the transportation cost, considering environmental concerns, customer satisfaction and lead time. This paper has made an attempt to identify challenges experienced by LPG agencies in urban and rural areas, and also offered a few managerial recommendations. Managing the reverse logistics network is crucially discussed with reference to both rural and urban agencies, considering SCM drivers. This paper is also proposed on EDI implementation strategies. ___________________________________________________________________________ Introduction
