Abstract: The current research aims to design a fuzzy multiobjective model of the reverse logistics supply chain network in the automotive industry, taking into account the energy and time reduction approach. The automobile industry is one of the industries with a high demand worldwide. To continue the competition, the manufacturers of the leading car equipment should strive for better product quality by continuously improving their production processes, directing the production of greenhouse gases with low carbon levels, and increasing sustainability. In this regard, reverse supply chain networks and closed-loop chains have unique features that are very useful in the industry under review. The goal is to transform this model into a supply chain of a secure link in the automotive industry. Deterministic methods, genetic algorithm, particle swarm algorithm, and several scenarios with different aspects have been used to solve the model. The results show that the effectiveness of the three ways in terms of solution time is higher in the deterministic solution method. Proper use of the proposed process can help managers effectively manage the flow of recycled products concerning environmental considerations, and this process provides a sustainable competitive advantage for companies.
