Defective Return to Warehouse (RTW)

Reversal Logistics for Defective, Replaced & Warranty Hardware

Closed-loop defective management. Replaced parts are logged as Defective, returned from field to service center, and routed back to Central Warehouse.

System Role Scope
Quality & RMA

Stage Architectural Capabilities

01

Strict OK vs Defective Segregation

Inventory system keeps OK usable stock completely separate from Defective stock at every node to prevent accidental re-dispatch.

02

Defective Tagging at Customer Site

When a broken part is removed, technician immediately assigns a Defective barcode tag linked to the original ticket ID.

03

Return to Warehouse (RTW) Batching

Service Centers consolidate defective parts into official RTW consignments and ship back to Central Repair Facilities.

04

RMA, Warranty Claim & Scrap Audit

Central warehouse decides whether defective parts are sent to OEM vendor for warranty replacement, repaired in-house, or scrapped.
