Disassembly time evaluation for enhancing the reusability of automotive components

Ease of disassembly of products to support circular economy strategies

“…The proposed method is instead applicable to a broad range of products, as the time and motion method MOST is used to model the defined disassembly tasks. MOST also offers a good trade-off between accuracy and the effort needed to determine the time for disassembly tasks disregarding the product type ( Amelia et al, 2009 ), which reduces cumbersome modelling or excessive in-depth analysis (i.e. U-effort, MTM) for the time estimation.…”

A quality evaluation model of reuse parts and its management system development for end-of-life wheel loaders

“…When all economically valuable components are retrieved, first, it is necessary to determine the optimal stage of disassembly (Go et al, 2011), and to select a suitable disassembling evaluation methodology covering the consideration of economic value, environmental impact, associated costs or maximal rate of return as well as the suitable disassembling time (Amelia et al, 2009;Lee et al, 2001) and a feasible disassembling route planning (Krikke et al, 2008). Some researchers agree that part recovery should begin with design phase by selecting suitable materials for preventing waste with minimal environmental impact (Chan and Tong, 2007;Doh and Lee, 2010;Gehin et al, 2008;Nicholson et al, 2009).…”
