dc.description.abstractReverse logistics (RL) network design and disassembly line balancing (DLB) decisions are generally considered separately. In addition, the effect of disassembly sequencing on DLB is ignored. However, companies can take better-informed decisions by simultaneously considering RL, DLB and disassembly sequencing issues. This integrated approach results in more efficient processes which reduce cost and idle time, while maximizing throughput and customer satisfaction. In this study, we propose a simulation-based genetic algorithm approach for the joint optimization of RL network design and DLB with sequencing decisions. The use of simulation modeling allows for the consideration of stochastic aspects associated with RL and DLB such as transportation and disassembly times. A numerical example was provided to present the applicability of the proposed approach. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis was carried out to study the impact of various parameters. The results indicate the superior performance of the proposed approach with respect to total cost. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
