Abstract

Disassembly is the first step in product recycling and remanufacturing. When disassembling large quantities of products, the disassembly efficiency is crucial for enterprises. Thus, disassembly line is the best choice for automated disassembly of disposal products. Disassembling products, especially complex structure of products, consume a lot of resources and energy and produce large amounts of carbon emissions. So, it is essential for disassembly line to work efficiently and environmentally. In this paper, the hybrid graph is proposed to express the direct and indirect constraint relationship among components. Then, the mathematical model of carbon emission is built by quantifying the carbon emissions in the process of product disassembly. Taking into account the basic disassembly time, direction change time and tool change time, the mathematical model of high efficiency is presented for optimizing disassembly time. Additionally, based on the traditional multi-objective disassembly line balancing problem (DLBP), a novel multi-objective optimization model of the DLBP with shortest disassembly time and minimum carbon emissions is proposed for improving disassembly efficiency and reducing the carbon emissions in the process of disassembly. Furthermore, genetic algorithm is presented for optimizing the disassembly sequence. Finally, an automobile engine is given as an example to confirm the practicality of the proposed model in solving the DLBP.
