Abstract

Reuse and recycling have become crucial owing to the rapid
advance in technology, which leads to the accelerated
obsolescence of electronic equipment. Disassembly is the first stage
in the recycling process. Manual disassembly has proven to be the
most efficient although cost-effective method. Automated systems
are justified only when relatively uniform-type equipment or
assemblies are disassembled. Layout changes can enhance the
disassembly speeds by efficient material movement. New
disassembly line layout concept introduces solutions for known
problems in existing layouts.
