Abstract

With the increasing concerns of the world towards environmental, social and economic factors, a multi-lateral attitude towards sustainable development and management policies is much needed now, hence a shift of the linear economy to the circular economy, famously known as closed-loop supply chain, is being exercised. The increase in exploration by academicians and industrialists to address various implementation issues and challenges is now vital and transition in many industries has been initiated. Numerous decision-making approaches are evaluated for the major domains of industry, namely, optimization of activity, processes, coordination, network design and marketing issues. With the categorization of the closed-loop supply chain as circular economy and emission reduction, the three factors (environmental, social and economic factors) are evaluated single-handedly. The present paper attempts to discuss various decision approaches and analytical models realized, evaluated and implemented by industries after careful assessment, based on the respective and customized network design models.
