We mainly used ARIS modeling technique to analyze the process that third party manage exterior reverse logistics flow of tire manufacturing enterprise, and set up a special tire reverse logistics model of modernized conveyance center and in the end we present design scheme of C/S mixed with B/S mode for third party reverse logistics information system, then we can support the realization of reverse logistics in information way, and perfect logistics system from the point of view of supply chain.
