Abstract
Beef is an agro-industrial product that is perishable and expensive in its handling and distribution. in the beef supply chain, there are cases of product returns from customers who, in practice, provide many losses due to handling and product quality degradation. The purpose of this study is to obtain the most appropriate model for handling returned products so that it not become damaged and continue to have Value-added. For this reason, the reverse supply chain model is used, which is the concept for maintaining value-added and prevent disposal of returned products. The results showed that there some reasons for the return. Such as return because of consignment, service, and returns because there were problems. Also, there were returns because the product had expired and return packaging. In case returned caused by service, consignment and customer returns after the product is checked and according to SNI products can be resold to different customers. If the quality of the product decreases, it can be used as a processed food product, or if the product quality is already too low, it can be used as raw materials for pet food. future research opportunities such as optimization Cost, contract, and Quality product.
