Abstract

Effective conduct with End of Life (EOL) products is a hot research topic in green and smart manufacturing. For EOL product recycling and remanufacturing, a fundamental problem is to design an efficient disassembly line under consideration of stochastic task processing times. This problem focuses on selecting alternative task processes, determining the number of opened workstations, and assigning operational tasks to the workstations. The goal is to minimize the total cost consisting of workstation operational cost and hazardous component processing cost. Most existing works assume that the probability distribution of task processing times can be estimated, however, it is often not likely to access the complete probability distribution due to various difficulties. Therefore, this study investigates disassembly line design with the assumption that only the mean, standard deviation and an upper bound of task processing times are known. Our main contributions include: (i) a new decomposition color graph is proposed to intuitively describe all possible processes, (ii) a new distribution-free model is proposed, and (iii) some problem properties are established to solve the model. Experimental results show that the distribution-free model can effectively deal with stochastic task processing times without given probability distributions.
