Design for Optimal End-of-Life via Product-Embedded Disassembly
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a method for designing products that disassemble via a domino-like “self-disassembly” process triggered by the removal of a few fasteners. Given component geometries, the method optimizes the spatial configurations of components, locators and fasteners, and the end-of-life (EOL) treatments of components and subassemblies for maximum profit and minimum environmental impact. Extending our previous work, it incorporates the end-of-life (EOL) treatments of components as additional decision variables, and Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for evaluating environmental impact. A multi-objective genetic algorithm is utilized to search for Pareto optimal design alternatives. An example on Power Mac G4 cube® is discussed.

An Eco-architecture Based Approach for Supporting Design for Disassembly
* Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The end-of-life (EOL) disassembly is an important process in the product retirement stage. In order to improve the ease of disassembly, it is essential to design a product which can be easily disassembled. In this paper, a novel concept of eco-architecture is introduced and a method for analyzing the eco-architecture of a product at the configura...
متن کاملDisassembly System Design with Optimal Environmental and Economic Parts Selection Using Life Cycle Inventory Database by Input-output Tables
To prevent global warming by supply chain, End-of-Life (EOL) assembly products should be disassembled environmentally and economically for material circulation (Wang and Gupta, 2011). This paper proposes a disassembly system design with an optimal environmental and economic parts selection which harmonizes collected CO2 volumes and recycling cost using a Life Cycle (LC) inventory database by th...

In today’s global environment, technology is constantly evolving. Being able to stay up-to-date with the very latest technological advances can be extremely hard to accomplish. As a result of these changes and developments in technology, which often come unexpectedly, consumers are frequently tempted to update their devices to the very latest model. The result is that the life cycle of a produc...
متن کاملA multi-criteria decision making model for advanced repair-to-order and disassembly-to-order system
Sensor-embedded products (SEPs) eliminate a majority of uncertainties involved in product recovery by providing item-based life-cycle information. This information includes the content of each product and component conditions, and enables the estimation of remaining useful life of the components. Once the data on the products are captured, it is possible to make optimal recovery decisions witho...
