In this paper, shortening of product life cycle and wide disposal of consumer product have given rise to many environmental problems, it needs to propose module design principle for saving of disassembly cost and reusing of used part and subassembly. To analyze characteristics of module for recycling, materials and function of part and subassembly must be classified. In disassembly process, a unit operation can be grasped for disassembly function, worker, tool and sorting process. As a result of applying module design principle, simpler structure and reduced structural interference can be realized for product structure. For disassembly, simpler disassembly and quicker disassembly can be obtained for recycling.

This paper presents a new DFD methodology to estimate the standard disassembly time and evaluate the disassemblablity of a product. The disassembly time is estimated with some decision and influencing factors of disassembly using motion analysis. The disassemblablity is evaluated using weights of the decision and influencing factors and disassembly difficulty scores. and the tables that include the time and stores of disassembly are suggested Finally, a new DFD support system is implemented to help designers to analyze the Product during the design process in concurrent engineering.

In this study, the product complexity is evaluated quantitatively considering the disassembly process of the product. To evaluate complexity of the product, we analyze the characteristics of the product and the disassembly process. And we determine factors, which influence on the complexity of the product in the main-disassembly and sub-disassembly. Considering each characteristics of part and subassembly. Evaluations criteria of complexity are determined. Using evaluation criteria of the complexity can be determined the complexity grade of the product, and then we show the total complexity of the product considering the disassembly process.

Today recycling has been one of the most important Issues In industry as it is required to save the limited amount of natural resources and to keep the environment green. In spite of many efforts to increase recycling rate in industry, however, the practical solutions are very limited. The difficulties are caused by the existence of many parts made of diverse materials and their inevitably complicated assembly structures to satisfy different needs. This paper represents a study on the disassembly sequence generator system for parts recycling. With disassembly costs and revenues, the optimum disassembly sequence can be found with a linear programming.

This paper represents a study on disassembly sequence generation for automobile parts. This is particularly useful because adequate end-of-life disassembly becomes crucial as take-back obligations are imposed for environmental reasons. Therefore in this paper a method is suggested to automatically derive all the feasible subassemblies and feasible actions between them from the assembly modeling files. As a result, in consideration of the all pars and subassemblies the optimum disassembly sequence is generated. And the optimum disassembly sequence for a certain part or subassembly can be also generated.

In order to improve the recyclability and to reduce the recycling cost and time, the disassembly technology should be systemized because the worn out products can be reused or recycled after disassembly processes. This paper attempts to propose the integrated CATIA-based DfD (Design for Disassembly) support system to promote the disassemblability of products. The system is composed of two modules; evaluation of disassemblability, generation of DfD alternatives. The disassemblability of current vehicle is evaluated to identify the weak point in terms of disassembly using the DELMIA and developed evaluation system. Furthermore a new expert system is developed to propose the optimal redesign rule and principle for generating the DfD alternatives. In order to generate the DfD alternatives, a CATIA-based design support system is implemented. The system can provide quick results and ensure consistency and completeness of the redesign alternatives.

In this paper, a disassemblability evaluation has been investigated quantitatively by using an ease-of-disassembly design method. Four categories such as recognizability, approachability, separability, and treatability have been analyzed in details. A simulation software for estimating the ease-of-disassembly design method has been developed and applied to door trim and spin basket respectively as an example.
