“…CLSCM is the totality of green purchasing, green manufacturing and material management, green distribution and marketing as well as reverse logistics [10,18,21]. Thus, CLSCM is a method to design and/or redesign the supply chain that incorporates recycling of metals and plastics, repair and reuse of parts and components for the production of new devices, remanufacturing and/or refurbishing of entire discarded products for use as second-hand devices [21,22]. Fleischmann et al [23], and Wells and Seitz [10] believed that operations and potential flow of materials in a CLSC should combine the forward and reverse supply chains.…”

The ecological issues arising from manufacturing operations have led to the focus on environmental sustainability in manufacturing. This can be addressed adequately using a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). To attain an effective and efficient CLSC, it is necessary to imbibe a holistic performance measurement approach. In order to achieve this, there is a need to adopt a specific approach for a particular product rather than being generic. Since sustainability has direct environmental footprints that involve organizational stakeholders, suppliers, customers and the society at large, complexities surrounding supply chain performance measurement have multiplied. In this study, a suitable approach has been proposed for CLSC performance measurement in the automotive industry, based on reviewed literature. It is believed that this approach will result in increased effectiveness and efficiency in CLSC performance measurement

“…2001) andFleischmann & van Nunen (2003) studied the decision making pertaining to plant location-allocation in reverse logistics, and recommended accounting for inventories and batch transportation and the integration of the forward and reverse flow to better optimize production and recycling activities.The particularity of a reverse logistic network must first be considered before implementing a general solution Schultmann et al (2004). discussed a large size real life problem that combines facility location planning and vehicle routing and solved the problem using a heuristics method (Tabu search) Spengler et al (2004). used an activity-based analysis to model a real life problem and showed that information sharing is important to enhance the collaborative partnership among producers and recovery companies.…”

Reverse Logistics is the flow and management of products, packaging, components, and information from the point of consumption (i.e., the market) to the point of origin (i.e., manufacturers and suppliers). It is a collection of practices similar to those of supply chain management, but in the opposite direction, from downstream to upstream. Reverse logistics is a valuable solution to the hazards jeopardizing the environment, and it involves activities such as reuse, repair, remanufacture, refurbish, reclaim and recycle.Reverse logistics became an established line of research, covering several areas, including inventory control; though, several research gaps still exist, such as: ignoring switching costs between production and remanufacturing processes and learning effects, the assumption that production and remanufacturing processes are of perfect quality, remanufactured products are assumed to be as-good-as new, the assumption that returned products are treated as whole products while ignoring disassembly, collection rate of used items is independent of price and quality, and the assumption that pure remanufacturing and production policies are optimal. These research gaps are addressed in mathematical models to bring reverse logistics optimization closer to reality. Deterministic and stochastic components are considered here with numerical examples and results discussed. The key conclusions are as follows:The inclusion of the first time interval where no remanufacturing/repair exists, results in preventing the overestimation of inventory holding costs in the repairable stock. Assuming production and remanufacturing processes to be perfect, or ignoring learning effects in these processes, might not capture the benefits that product recovery programs are supposed to bring. Although works in the literature assumed pure remanufacturing is mathematically attainable but not feasible, this study shows that the pure remanufacturing case is not valid mathematically, which proves it to be infeasible. It is favourable to compensate customers to settle for remanufactured products instead of new ones. Considering disassembly of returns in the modelling of reverse logistics is proven beneficial. Finally, mixed production and remanufacturing policies are optimal rather than pure ones; and the inclusion of price and quality to determine return and collection rates is crucial.
