Abstract
Since the pressure for recycling has been increasing, the disassembly, which is pre-process of recycling, has been becoming very important process. The goal of disassembly for recycling is to separate different materials to the greatest extent with least effort. DFD (Design for Disassembly) is a design philosophy for improving product designs for simpler or less costly disassembly operations. This paper proposes a new DFD methodology that can estimate the standard disassembly time and evaluate the disassemblablity of parts. We select some determining and influencing factors related with disassembly process, and estimate the assembly time using motion analysis. By the levels of the determining and influencing factors, the disassemblability is evaluated, and finally, the tables that include the time and score of disassembly are suggested.
