To operate in a closed-loop supply chain, Jaguar can use a variety of strategies,

including designing goods for disassembly, using reverse logistics, remanufacturing,

recycling, and partnering with suppliers and consumers. By implementing these
practices, Jaguar can decrease waste, save money, and increase sustainability, all
while increasing its reputation as an ethical and environmentally conscious firm
(Prahinski and Kocabasoglu, 2006; Touboulic et al., 2019).

Designing items for disassembly is critical for closed-loop supply chains since it
allows for material recovery and reuse. Nevertheless, implementing disassembly
methods necessitates substantial upfront investment and preparation since it entails
redesigning items, retraining employees, and investing in new equipment (Guide et
al., 2019).

Another critical technique for closed-loop supply chains is reverse logistics, which
allows for the recovery of old goods, components, and materials. Nevertheless,
reverse logistics needs extensive logistical planning since it includes the
collaboration of various parties such as clients, dealers, and distributors (Touboulic
et al., 2019). Furthermore, the effectiveness of reverse logistics is dependent on the
availability and quality of returned items and supplies, both of which might vary
greatly (Guide et al., 2019).

Much research in the domain of jaguar manufacturing has focused on closed-loop

supply chain design. Optimization algorithms, simulation models, and mathematical
programming approaches have been used to improve many parts of the closed-loop
supply chain, including recovery possibilities, product routing, and inventory
management (Mota et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2017; Roshan et al., 2018).

According to research, adopting these stimulation approaches can increase the

sustainability of the jaguar manufacturing supply chain dramatically. Optimizing the
route of recovered items, for example, can minimise transportation costs and
greenhouse gas emissions (Mota et al., 2020). Similarly, maximising the recovery
choices can lead to less raw material extraction and less environmental effect (Liu et
al., 2017).

Nevertheless, due to the complexity of the jaguar manufacturing supply chain,

precisely modelling all essential elements can be difficult, and the dependability of
the data used to inform the models can also be a problem (Roshan et al., 2018).
Nevertheless, some research has emphasised theoretical modelling rather than
actual implementation, and there are practical hurdles to adopting these models in a
real-world supply chain (Mota et al., 2020).

Another critical technique for closed-loop supply chains is reverse logistics, which
allows for the recovery of old goods, components, and materials. Nevertheless,
reverse logistics needs extensive logistical planning since it includes the
collaboration of various parties such as clients, dealers, and distributors (Touboulic
et al., 2019). Furthermore, the effectiveness of reverse logistics is dependent on the
availability and quality of returned items and supplies, both of which might vary
greatly (Guide et al., 2019).

The usage of recovery possibilities for end-of-life cars is one area of research in
closed-loop supply chain design for Jaguar production (ELVs). Remanufacturing,
recycling, and reuse are all alternatives for ELV recovery. According to research,
adopting the best ELV recovery technique can result in considerable environmental
and economic advantages (Lin et al., 2019; Li et al., 2020).

In addition to ELV recovery alternatives, the reverse logistics network must be

considered while designing a closed-loop supply chain for Jaguar production. The
reverse logistics network involves product collection, transportation, and processing.
Simulation models were used to improve the routing of returned items in the reverse
logistics network to reduce transportation costs and greenhouse gas emissions (Li et
al., 2019).

Inventory management is another critical part of closed-loop supply chain

architecture in jaguar manufacturing. Inventory management in a closed-loop supply
chain entails balancing recovered product supply and demand. Mathematical
programming approaches have been used to optimise inventory management in
closed-loop supply chains to reduce costs while maintaining adequate inventory
levels (Song et al., 2020).
