Abstract

De-manufacturing (DM) is a process to separate a product into components and materials that will be maintained, replaced, reused, or recycled. Disassembling a selected set of parts in a product, defined as selective-disassembly, is an essential need in product DM. Although it is necessary to have an efficient and optimized sequence planning for selective-disassembly to reduce DM-related cost, it is more important to consider de-manufacturability for product life cycle cost at the early stage of a product development. However, the product analysis related to DM is generally regarded as a post-process in product development. Current product development environments require all industry in a supply chain to concurrently develop their specialized components corresponding to the end item requirement within a short time frame. Therefore, it is an emerging issue to add global concurrent de-manufacturability analysis into product development environments. An efficient sequence planning approach and a supporting tool are highly demanded. This paper presents a hybrid approach to selective-disassembly sequence planning for DM, which is based on both topological disassemblability and tool accessibility. In addition, a Web-based application on a three-tier Internet environment is implemented for the global concurrent de-manufacturability analysis.
