Abstract

Abstract: The Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) stands out due to a growing concern about environmental aspects, in addition to being capable of maximizing the value of resources throughout a product’s life cycle by reducing waste. Multi-echelon supply chain management has been widely recognized as a tool well capable of minimizing total inventory costs and promoting greater cooperation among supply chain members. Nonetheless, inventory policy management is still poorly explored in literature regarding the acquisition industry. Therefore, this paper explores an inventory policy through modelling a multi-echelon CLSC in the payment card industry aimed to lower inventory, freight, and shortage costs. Results reveal that there was a reduction in total costs without negatively affecting the minimum service level expected by the company under study, considering the cost of acquisition, freight, and shortages, in addition to the influence of inventory mix on its policy.

Resumo

Resumo: A Cadeia de Suprimentos de Ciclo Fechado (CLSC) se destaca devido a uma crescente preocupação com aspectos ambientais, além de ser capaz de maximizar o valor dos recursos ao longo do ciclo de vida de um produto, reduzindo o desperdício. A gestão da cadeia de suprimentos em múltiplos níveis têm sido amplamente reconhecida como uma ferramenta capaz de minimizar os custos totais de inventário e promover maior cooperação entre os membros da cadeia de suprimentos. No entanto, a gestão de políticas de inventário ainda é pouco explorada na literatura no que diz respeito à indústria de aquisição. Portanto, este artigo explora uma política de inventário através da modelagem de uma CLSC de múltiplos níveis na indústria de cartões de pagamento, com o objetivo de reduzir custos de inventário, frete e escassez. Os resultados revelam que houve uma redução nos custos totais sem afetar negativamente o nível mínimo de serviço esperado pela empresa em estudo, considerando o custo de aquisição, frete e escassez, além da influência do mix de estoque em sua política.
