Current literature on CLSCM reports a wide variety of practices, and combining these practices with environmental performance measures is an ongoing challenge, mainly because results from these practices are often diffuse and linking them with performance results is not a straightforward task. This paper addresses this problem by proposing a model to prioritize CLSCM practices and performance measures. The correlation model integrating the fuzzy direct rating method (FDRM) and CLSCM practices and performance measures was tested in a real company that is part of a closed-loop supply chain that recycles lead obtained from automotive batteries in Brazil. The results allowed the identification of which management practices are more relevant to the organization by correlating their impact with performance measures. The most relevant practices for the company under study were demand forecasting, with 21.68% of relative importance, followed by reverse logistics practices (21.15%) and production planning and control (18.16%). Another relevant finding is that upstream performance measures account for 77.72% of the company\u2019s CLSCM performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems13010050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,15]],"date-time":"2025-01-15T04:42:08Z","timestamp":1736916128000},"page":"50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Proposal of a Correlation Model Integrating FDRM and CLSCM Practices and Performance Measures: A Case Study from the Automotive Battery Industry in Brazil"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Antonio","family":"Marco-Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Production Engineering, Federal University of Technology Paran\u00e1 (UTFPR), Curitiba 81280-340, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0702-6353","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reginaldo","family":"Fidelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Federal University of Technology Paran\u00e1 (UTFPR), Curitiba 81280-340, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francielle Cristina","family":"Fenerich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Production Engineering, State University of Maring\u00e1 (UEM), Maring\u00e1 87020-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9098-3025","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafael Henrique Palma","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Production Engineering, Federal University of Technology Paran\u00e1 (UTFPR), Curitiba 81280-340, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7838-2761","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro Paulo","family":"De Andrade Junior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, Federal University of Santa Catarina\u2014(UFSC), Florian\u00f3polis 88040-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4971-4912","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diogo Jos\u00e9","family":"Horst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, Federal University of Santa Catarina\u2014(UFSC), Florian\u00f3polis 88040-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclepro.2011.11.043","article-title":"Evolution of the electronic waste management system in Spain","volume":"24","author":"Queiruga","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
