Real Time Balancing of Complex Disassembly Lines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of the Disassembly Line Balancing Problem (DLBP) is to use the resources of the disassembly line as efficiently as possible while meeting the demand. This issue is hard to attempt due to the inherent uncertainties that occur during the process. Starting from real industrial examples, this article presents a simple-to-apply method to accomplish the balancing of complex disassembly lines in real time. The basic idea of this method is to use mixed integer quadratic programming and branch and cut algorithm on the disassembly precedence graph. Results of simulations for disassembling two industrial products are presented

With the growth in customers’ demand diversification, mixed-model U-lines (MMUL) have acquired increasing importance in the area of assembly systems. There are generally two different approaches in the literature for balancing such systems. Some researchers believe that since the types of models can be very diverse, a balancing approach without simultaneously sequencing of models will not yield...

Detail time study is carried out for the selected shoe model using stopwatch. Assembly ...
متن کاملSolving Sequence-dependent Disassembly Line Balancing Problem Using a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, we consider a sequence-dependent disassembly line balancing problem (SDDLBP) with multiple objectives that requires the assignment of disassembly tasks to a set of ordered disassembly workstations while satisfying the disassembly precedence constraints and optimizing the effectiveness of several measures considering sequence-dependent time increments. A hybrid genetic algorithm i...

Disassembly line is, perhaps, the most suitable way for the disassembly of large products or small products in large quantities. In this paper, we address the disassembly line balancing problem (DLBP) and the challenges that come with it. The objective of balancing the disassembly line is to utilize the disassembly line in an optimized fashion while meeting the demand for the parts retrieved fr...
متن کاملA balancing method and genetic algorithm for disassembly line balancing
Disassembly activities take place in various recovery operations including remanufacturing, recycling and disposal. The disassembly line is the best choice for automated disassembly of returned products. It is therefore important that the disassembly line be designed and balanced so that it works as efficiently as possible. The disassembly line balancing problem seeks a sequence which: is feasi...
