Product and Process Design for Successful Remanufacturing (2004, background): “According to Blackburn et al., (2004) there are two significant issues that must be addressed to achieve responsive, decentralised reverse supply chains.”
Supply Chain Strategies for Perishable Products: The Case of Fresh Produce (2009, background): “In their studies of reverse supply chains, Blackburn et al. (2004) ﬁnd that, for returned products that lose value rapidly over time, the supply chain should be responsive in the early stages and efﬁcient in later stages.”
Joint Life‐Cycle Dynamics of New and Remanufactured Products (2006, background): “Finally, the impact of delays in the reverse channel has been studied by Blackburn et al. (2004) and Guide et al. (2005) for commercial returns.”
The Economics of Remanufacturing Under Limited Component Durability and Finite Product Life Cycles (2007, background): “The results demonstrate the need to carefully coordinate production cost structure, collection rate, product life cycle, and component durability to create or maximize production cost savings from remanufacturing.”
Consumer Returns Policies and Supply Chain Performance (2009, unknown): “Blackburn et al. (2004) present several strategies for controlling costs in reverse supply chains. markdown allowances in situations where the salvaging is undertaken by the retailer.”

Product Modularity and the Design of Closed-Loop Supply Chains (2004, background): “The time-based value of these returns may require a responsive closed-loop supply chain.(7)”
