Reverse Logistics CLI

A command-line application written in C to simulate reverse logistics workflows, including product returns, warehouse optimization, and resale price prediction.

Overview

This project models key operations involved in reverse logistics, such as handling returned products, identifying optimal warehouses for processing returns, and estimating resale value. The application is implemented as a menu-driven CLI with a focus on systems programming and algorithmic problem solving.

Features

• Interactive, menu-driven CLI interface
• Warehouse selection using Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm
• Return classification logic
• Resale price prediction using K-means clustering
• Modular C architecture with clear separation of headers and source files
• Makefile-based build system for reproducible compilation

Tech Stack

• Language: C
• Build Tool: Makefile
• Platform: macOS / Linux (CLI-based)
