In this paper, a redesign of computer case is proposed by applying some guide lines of assembly and disassembly to an existing computer case. Some problems such as increase of number of disassembly and vibration, difficult assembly and disassembly from unfittable covers are recognized through analysis of geometrical structure and practical assembly and disassembly. A solution of these problems is proposed through ideas of ease of assembly and disassembly. Design for Environment Software is used to evaluate both redesigned and existing products. Time of assembly and disassembly and MET-point are especially calculated by the software, and these data give us a good guide for analysis of ease of assembly, ease of disassembly and environmental influence in both products.

In this paper, a redesign of an existing computer case is Proposed by applying some guide lines of assembly and disassembly which have positive effects on environment. Some problems such as Increase of number of disassembly and vibration, and unfittable difficulty in assembly and disassembly of coy-ers are recognized through analysis of geometrical structure in view of both assembly and disassembly. A solution of these problems is proposed by ideas of positive environmental influence through ease of assembly and disassembly. Design for Environment Software is used to evaluate both redesigned and existing products. Time of assembly and disassemb]y and MET-point are especially calculated by the software, and these data give us a good guide for analysis of ease of assembly, ease of disassembly and environmental influence in both products.

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.

De-manufacturing is an entire process of collecting, disassembling, reusing, refurbishing, recycling, and/or disposing products that are obsolete or un-repairable. Designing the products for inexpensive and efficient disassembly enhances the ease of de-manufacturing. Virtual disassembly addresses the difficulty and the methods to disassemble a product in design stage rather than really disassemble a product at the end of its life cycle. Based on the virtual disassembly analysis results, design will be improved for better assembling/disassembling. This paper presents a systematic virtual disassembly methodology such as disassembly relation modeling, path/sequence automatic generation and evaluation. This paper also presents a new virtual disassembly interface paradigm via virtual reality technology for disassembly simulation in virtual environment.

In this paper, to propose guideline of modular design for improvement of ease of disassembly, product structure must be considered. By analyzing characteristics of structure of subassembly, influencing factor of module can be defined and classified. Based on determination factor of influencing factor of module, criteria for improvement of ease of disassembly can be obtained through the interrelationship between product and process factors.

Recently Environmental issues is Product development for ease of disassembly and recycling requires methodical toolboxes and respective infrastructures of information and communication technology. Therefore, today's designers have a very high level of product responsibility as disassembly is a major cost factor of product recycling. A study on the product redesign Methods and tools for sustainable management.

In this study, two methods to evaluate the disassemblability of the parts are proposed, which are constructed from the concepts of ease-of-disassembly and disassembly time. A method to evaluate the disassemblability of the products is consequently developed using the concept of minimum parts. The methods are applied to evaluate the disassemblability of computer cases. The results show the conclusions that the new model has less disassemblability than the old one. These methods are expected to be used for the evaluation of the possibility of remanufacturing and recycling of a part.

Today the tastes of consumers change rapidly and the kinds of the products become diverse. There- fore the product life cycle becomes shorter and shorter. Moreover the save of resources and the recycling for the environmental preservation are the essential theme. On this the necessary information for the product development increases enormously. For the right use of the information the design process should be supported by the proper design tool. For this the 'design catalogue system for recycling' is suggested here. This system consists of four parts. that is, 'the existing automobile system database', 'welting principle database', 'Assessment system of the ease of disassembly' and 'one's own product development ratabase'. By the use of this system the product development period could be reduced about 30% drastically.
