Disassembly 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 the input-output tables (Yamada et al., 2012). The first step is to optimize the environmental and economic parts selection with the integer programming, and the second step is to carried out the line balancing for minimizing the number of stations.
