Abstract— We witness the accelerating effects of climate change, pollution, and resource depletion, the need for effective management strategies has never been more urgent. On the other hand, re-manufacturing of used merchandise presents a compelling opportunity for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to enhance their environmental footprint, bolster customer satisfaction, and optimize production costs. We are investigating and evaluating the system behavior of a mining manufacturing company as a case of study, by using System Dynamics (SD). VENSIM PLE software developed the simulation model. The research method presented offers a valuable tool for examining the intricacies of Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) systems. By simulating these systems, one can gain insights into their potential benefits and drawbacks before committing to real-world implementation. This pre-emptive analysis allows for informed decision-making, mitigating the risks associated with implementing complex systems without a thorough understanding of their dynamics.

Keywords—system dynamics; (CLSC) systems; supply support; supply chain
