“…Most logistic activities are from producers to customers and significantly less attention has been paid to product return and recall (Hofmann and Visagie, 2020). Hence, businesses need to merge their potential logistics process with RL protocol for better revenue prospects (Fernando et al.…”

PurposeThe study aims to propose a circular economy-based reverse logistics (CERL) that emphasises the mediation effect of reverse logistics (RL) on sustainable resource commitment and financial performance.Design/methodology/approachThe structural equation modelling (SEM) approach has been applied to analyse the data acquired through the survey method that included 113 vendors of automotive supplies of the 1st and 2nd levels.FindingsThe results confirm that CERL acts as an essential intervening entity between resources and financial performance. The findings of the study have provided research and development (R&D) opportunities for the industries to find alternative revenue streams and generate profit from resource investment whilst upholding environmental standards through reverse logistic practices.Practical implicationsReverse logistic practices are the key components of a circular business model and a sustainable supply chain. The manufacturing companies need to explore critical enablers that can contribute to business productivity and financial growth.Originality/valueThe study has validated a CERL model that portrays the circular economy's resilient relationship with RL practices.

Nowadays, many companies have several plants as a result of acquisitions or mergers, i.e. horizontal integration. A similar situation occurs with groups of companies which maintain their original brands but have centralized their manufacturing operations. This leads to the same kind of product being manufactured in different plants or under different brand names. In the context of a methodology for the redesign of supply chains, this tool evaluates the synergistic manufacturing in the chains and the minimum costs. The presented linear programs analyse how a better assignment of products to plants can be achieved in terms of costs, according to the resources used, while simultaneously improving the synergistic indicators. Two optimization models are proposed: the first, to obtain the best configuration at a given time, and the second, to manage the manufacturing of car models during several years. The case study is set in the automotive sector, using data from a group of companies with several brands. The application shows that the various plants have common resources, and synergies are feasible. This is justified after evaluating the costs, according to the resources needed. The new assignment of car models to plants takes these synergies into account and the new resource requirements are defined, also considering synergies. In the case study the best decisions in cost for some synergy levels in 10 years are determined. The results show that good synergy levels can be achieved with acceptable increases in costs.
