The growing concern over environmental protection is prompting automobile manufacturers to develop products with better End-of-Life performance. Product remanufacturability is considered as an End-of-Life performance booster. Remanufacturability, that is, the easiness for remanufacturing of products depends on the technical, environmental, and economic feasibilities. The technical feasibility depends on the product design attributes that support remanufacturability. These design attributes are comprised of several sub-attributes. Moreover, the attributes are interrelated with each other. This paper develops a remanufacturability index for automobile systems based on the design attributes that affect the remanufacturability. A structural methodology of graph theory and matrix approach is applied for developing the remanufacturability index. The design attributes and their interrelations with due consideration of their structure is modelled through the graph theory. The remanufacturability directed graph (digraph) is defined; the nodes of this represent the remanufacturability enhancing design attributes, while the edges represent their degrees of interrelationships. The equivalent matrix of the digraph forms a remanufacturability function which leads to the evaluation of remanufacturability index. A higher value of the remanufacturability index indicates that the automobile system has high potential for being remanufactured. The methodology can be applied during the design stage of automobile systems to evaluate the remanufacturability that will enhance the End-of-Life performance. The observations would be helpful to automobile system designers in determining the extent to which the system can be remanufactured and in identifying the specific attributes that can be improved to enhance remanufacturability.

“…While the focus of the study was not on HRC, the proposed approach provides a foundation for automating the disassembly process toward maximizing the value retention of EoU devices. In [56], a method was proposed for quantitatively evaluating the disassemblability of products. This method considered factors such as the quality of returns, product design characteristics, and process technology requirements.…”

“…The meticulous design of a disassembly line, balancing diverse factors influencing the process, holds profound significance for advancing the recycling and remanufacturing industry. Numerous studies [10][11][12][13][14][15] delve into various disassembly lines and their classifications. For example, according to the layout of disassembly lines, they can be divided into parallel disassembly lines, bilateral disassembly lines, U-shaped disassembly lines, and linear disassembly lines.…”

The growing emphasis on ecological preservation and natural resource conservation has significantly advanced resource recycling, facilitating the realization of a sustainable green economy. Essential to resource recycling is the pivotal stage of disassembly, wherein the efficacy of disassembly tools plays a critical role. This work investigates the impact of disassembly tools on disassembly duration and formulates a mathematical model aimed at minimizing workstation cycle time. To solve this model, we employ an optimized advantage actor-critic algorithm within reinforcement learning. Furthermore, it utilizes the CPLEX solver to validate the model’s accuracy. The experimental results obtained from CPLEX not only confirm the algorithm’s viability but also enable a comparative analysis against both the original advantage actor-critic algorithm and the actor-critic algorithm. This comparative work verifies the superiority of the proposed algorithm.
