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...

Assembly line balancing (ALB) and sequencing is an active area of optimization research in operations management. The concept of an assembly line (AL) came to the fact when the finished product is inclined to the perception of product modularity. Usually interchangeable parts of the final product are assembled in sequence using best possibly designed logistics in an AL. The initial stage of con...

Increasing environmental awareness in today's society and stricter regulations have forced manufacturing firms to take necessary actions for the recovery of end-of-life (EOL) products through different options (e.g., recycling, remanufacturing,). Disassembly is regarded as a critical operation EOL treatment used since all product require disassembly at certain levels. This generally carried out...
