Abstract
Nowadays, in order to achieve competitive advantage, the solutions adopted in the area of logistic activities of a firm play an important role. Designing logistics to facilitate the movement of goods within an enterprise or enterprises in the supply chain seems understandable in this area, however, more attention is attributed to the organization of logistics concerning the return of goods, waste and secondary raw materials. The system and the proposal of the description and analysis of the management system presented in the work edited by Adam Stabryła (2010, p. 21) may be an inspiration in the systemic approach of logistics regarding the return of waste and secondary raw materials. The presented approach takes into account the need for the recognition of the system purposes, placement of the positions responsible for decisions in the surveyed system in the organizational structure, placement of functions and processes in the system and tools used in the implementation of the distinguished processes. The article presents a proposal for the systemic approach of logistic operations in respect of product returns, the withdrawal of waste and the management of secondary raw materials. The objectives of such a system, solutions for decision-making positions in the organizational structure, processes and tools used in the management of the activities in this field were taken into account.
