In order to increase competitiveness and to gain economic benefit, companies ask more and more how to recycle their products in a efficient way. So far, to answer this question, companies are not sufficiently supported by suitable methods specially in the area of disassembly process planning. For this reason, we develop in collaboration with an industrial partner a new method for generating an optimal disassembly sequence. In the presented paper this method will be described in detail by considering the exiting assembly information, disassembly method and disassembly depth. PLM (Profit-Loss Margin) curve that is used to determine disassembly depth consists of profit value, disassembly cost and disassembly effect. Using assessment parameters, generated alternative disassembly sequences are evaluated and optimal disassembly sequence is proposed. This method is applied to generate the optimal disassembly sequence of Door Trim as an example.

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

본 논문에서는 분해우선작업을 가지는 페트리 넷 기반의 분해순서계획모델을 제안한다. 모든 가능한 분해순서는 분해트리에 의해 생성되고, 분해우선순위와 분해가치 행렬을 이용하여 분해순서를 결정한다. 분해작업의 우선순위는 분해트리를 통하여 결정하고 분해작업의 가치는 제품의 마지막 수명단계의 경제적 분석에 의해 유도된다. 분해우선작업을 가지는 분해계획모델을 해결하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 페트리 넷 기반의 휴리스틱 알고리듬을 개발한다. 개발된 알고리듬은 페트리 넷 모델의 전이순서에 기반을 두어 도달할 수 있는 모든 그래프의 노드를 탐색하여 최적의 혹은 근사최적의 분해순서를 생성한다. 본 연구에서는 냉장고를 대상으로 제안모델의 유효성을 입증한다.

Possible representation methods for the product structure have been compared and analyzed to determine optimal disassembly path of a product. Petri net is selected as the most optimal method to represent disassembly path of the product. In this method, a reachability tree for the product is generated and disassembly time for each path is calculated. A path with the smallest disassembly time is selected as the optimal path. A software far DPN(Disassembly Petri Net) has been developed and applied to search the optimal disassembly path for a ballpoint pen disassembly process as an example.

Since the pressure for recycling has been increasing, the disassembly, which is pre-process of recycling, has been becoming very important process. The goal of disassembly for recycling is to separate different materials to the greatest extent with least effort. DFD (Design for Disassembly) is a design philosophy for improving product designs for simpler or less costly disassembly operations. This paper proposes a new DFD methodology that can estimate the standard disassembly time and evaluate the disassemblablity of parts. We select some determining and influencing factors related with disassembly process, and estimate the assembly time using motion analysis. By the levels of the determining and influencing factors, the disassemblability is evaluated, and finally, the tables that include the time and score of disassembly are suggested.

This study presents the decision of priority for optimal design guide to improve disassembly process. Disassembly process is divided into recognition, transfer and disassembly of assembly point and recognition, transfer and remove of grasp point. Significant influential factors are derived from analyzing the above process. And those factors are used for making the check list to evaluate the properties of parts in each process. Furthermore, the weight with considering disassembly process is also used to determine weight of each process. On the base of the above sequence, qualitative score of disassemblability of each process that is enabled to compare different disassembly processes can be acquired. Ultimately the score helps to decide the priority of design guide for disassembly process.

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.

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.

Disassembly of discarded products takes place in the process of remanufacturing, recycling, and disposal. The disassembly lines have been taken as available choice for automated disassembly; therefore, it has become essential that it be designed and balanced to work efficiently. The multi-objective disassembly line balancing problem seeks to find a disassembly sequence which provides a feasible disassembly sequence, minimizes the number of workstations and idle time, and balances the line for the disassembly of post consumed product by considering the environment effects. This paper proposes a multi-criteria decision making technique based heuristic for assigning the disassembly tasks to the workstations. In the proposed heuristic, the PROMETHEE method is used for prioritizing the tasks to be assigned. The tasks are assigned to the disassembly workstations according to their priority rank and precedence relations. The proposed heuristic is illustrated with an example, and the results show that substantial improvement in the performance is achieved compared with other heuristics.
