Industry has grown to recognize the value of disassembly processes across a wide range of
products. Increasing legislation that may soon require mandatory recycling of many post …

This paper is a survey of the presently available literature on disassembly sequencing,
including the papers that are closely related to this topic. Disassembly theory is applied to …

This paper presents a method for determining the optimum disassembly sequence for
selective disassembly of discarded complex products. This methodology has been …

One of the most difficult problems faced by OR researchers in the reverse logistics field
consists in determining an efficient disassembly sequence for a product at its end of life. In …

Management of the product end-of-life (EOL) for a manufacturing enterprise is important. An
improper EOL strategy can negatively affect the productivity and profitability and undermines …

Using the'Matrix Approach'of simplified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) together with
Enhanced Quality Function Deployment (EQFD), a new product development and …

This paper applies a constraint-based method, shown to successfully find the optimal order
of component removal using precedence information, to finding the optimal sequence via …

Abstract The first Waste Framework Directive issued by the European Union dates back to
the seventies but was drastically amended in the last decade to reduce environmental …

As key issues in product life-cycle investigations. Design for Assembly (DFA) and Design for
Disassembly (DFD) have received increasingly more attention. While some DFA techniques …

This paper addresses the disassembly sequencing problem for selective and sequential
disassembly under sequence-dependent costs. As optimal formulations fail to handle real …
