| Resumo: | In recent years, there has been considerable attention given to business practices and policies aimed at moving towards a more environmentally sustainable model. While this reduction in environmental impact is undeniable, it casts shadows on the other significant advantage of these policies: the improvement of economic profitability. The objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that "Certain reverse logistics policies can substantially improve the economic performance of a company, alongside their impact on the environment," through simulations. These simulations will be conducted using the Arena and Simul8 programs, employed in the MUAR Master's program, and using a Catalan company dedicated to the production of power electronics as the model. |
