ABSTRACT
This chapter proposes an Advanced-Remanufacturing-To-Order-Disassembly-To-Order system, which receives a variety of end of life (EOL) products with design alternatives to satisfy the demand for products, components, and materials by implementing disassembly and remanufacturing processes. The efficiency of the product recovery processes can have a significant impact on the management of EOL products. The main objective is to determine how many EOL products need to be acquired to satisfy all the demands, criteria, and constraints. Elif Kongar and S. M. Gupta also developed a multi-objective tabu search algorithm for EOL product disassembly considering the multiple objectives of maximizing the total profit, maximizing the resale and recycling percentage, and minimizing the disposal percentage. The component yields from destructive and non-destructive disassembly processes are stochastic due to the uncertainty regarding the condition of the received EOL products. To manage EOL products efficiently, reduce disposal waste, and earn profits, it is important to improve the efficiency of the disassembly process.
