Özet

Due to strict governmental regulations, manufacturers have increasingly focused on recovering

end-of-life (EoL) products through disassembly lines, aiming to achieve economic benefits while

addressing the environmental aspects of supply chain sustainability. Disassembly line balancing

(DLB) has become a key challenge for enterprises seeking to perform environmentally conscious

manufacturing as part of a closed-loop supply chain policy. Therefore, designing a sustainable

closed-loop supply chain requires analyzing interrelated problems by focusing on strategic-,

tactical-, and operational-level decisions simultaneously. This study introduces an integrated

problem that addresses multi-manned DLB, lot sizing, and reverse supply chain (RSC) design

problems. To mathematically represent the problem, a generic optimization model is developed

to minimize overall costs, including station opening, inventory holding, shortage, transportation,

and collection center/facility opening costs. This study addresses several research questions to

explore the impact of distribution strategies (centralized and decentralized) on multi-manned

DLB and lot size decisions within the context of reverse supply chain design.
