Abstract

The authors are investigating procedures, which can be used to assess service difficulties and costs at the early stages of product design. A central part of this work is generation of required disassembly sequences for identified service or repair items or for recycling at the end of product life. This paper describes a model of assemblies/disassemblies, which has been developed for this purpose with the associated search algorithms. To facilitate the required search procedures, the concept of a disassembly diagram was introduced. The relationships between this diagram, the assembly model and the search procedures are illustrated in the paper by a simple example.

Keywords: product structuring, design for disassembly, optimisation techniques
