In this paper, systematic approach is studied about assemblability and disassemblability of parts in order to reduce the assembly cost, and to disassemble products easily which is possible to recycle the parts. For this purpose, we selected one subassembly, and analysed assembly and disassembly process. From this result, we found the weakpoints of assembly and disassembly process, and then, the influencing parameters of assemblability and disassemblability are defined. On the basis of the analysis of these parameters we grasped the interrelation between assemblability and disassemblability. And, guidelines for assemblability and disassemblability are developed. Finally design alternatives are evaluated quantitatively in the aspects of assembly and disassembly by using the guidelines which developed in this research.

Today, due to the development of the industrial society, the need for sustainable research and development for energy depletion and environmental protection is increasing. Among sustainable research, remanufacturing is an ideal way to meet environmental and economic aspects. In this paper, we investigated the End-of-Life Vehicle(ELV) in order to find the recovery method of the core which is the preceding stage of remanufacturing. The number of End-of-Life Vehicle is increasing year by year, but the core recovery rate from ELV is still low. Therefore, a methodology to determine the disassembly priority of each part is proposed to increase the core recovery rate. Based on the analysis Table through the disassembly process, the decision rule was selected and the weighted score evaluation Table was completed to complete the disassembly priority system. Finally, evaluation was made on gasoline vehicles to determine priorities.

Most industrial products nowadays have been manufactured by being made up of many parts what these are made from various kinds of materials. These parts and goods should be disassembled simply and classified easily by material or kinds of parts for the recycling. But it is not so easy to know how to take disassembly ways and those orders must be known and also analyzed the assembled points and directions of the every part. This research presents an design process for recycling that it will be considering whole design process for recycling about easiness of disassembling units as the prior condition to reuse the parts and used material, and to reduce waste parts.

In this study, the complexity of the product was evaluated quantitatively considering the product structure, assembly process and disassembly process. To evaluate the complexity of the product, subassemblies of automobile were analyzed and then characteristics of part and subassembly were determined according to product structure, assembly process and disassembly process. Evaluation criteria of complexity were determined considering each characteristics of part and subassembly. Experiential evaluation was accomplished by classified evaluation criteria and time-motion evaluation was accomplished by the relational motion factor with characteristics of part and subassembly in MTM(Methods Time Measurement) and WF(Work Factor). The total complexity of product was determined by experiential evaluation and time-motion evaluation.

In this paper, to propose guideline of modular design for improvement of ease of disassembly, product structure must be considered. By analyzing characteristics of structure of subassembly, influencing factor of module can be defined and classified. Based on determination factor of influencing factor of module, criteria for improvement of ease of disassembly can be obtained through the interrelationship between product and process factors.

Recently Environmental issues is Product development for ease of disassembly and recycling requires methodical toolboxes and respective infrastructures of information and communication technology. Therefore, today's designers have a very high level of product responsibility as disassembly is a major cost factor of product recycling. A study on the product redesign Methods and tools for sustainable management.

Efficiency in work training is a perennial issue due to high-diversity low-volume production, particularly for manufacturers producing office machines which are manually assembled by workers. To reduce the training cost, parts used in training are usually reused; a trainer disassembles a product assembled by a worker in training. This paper proposes a training method that employs disassembly usually performed by a trainer. This method assigns both assembly and disassembly to a worker in training, in contrast to the conventional method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is experimentally discussed in terms of learning assembly motions and work procedure at each learning stage, namely, "undergoing learning," "immediately after learning," and "seven days after learning." The effectiveness of the training method is confirmed. The method improves the stability of work procedure recollection immediately after training. Furthermore, at seven days after training, it improves retention of the assembly motions and work procedure, and also promotes and maintains memory related to product structure.

The recycling cell formation problem means that disposal products me classified into recycling part families using group technology in their end of life phase. Disposal products have the uncertainties of product status by usage influences during product use phase and recycling cells are formed design, process and usage attributes. In order to treat the uncertainties, fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic-based neural network model are applied to recycling cell formation problem far disposal products. In this paper, a heuristic approach fuzzy ART neural network is suggested. The modified fuzzy ART neural network is shown that it has a great efficiency and give an extension for systematically generating alternative solutions in the recycling cell formation problem. We present the results of this approach applied to disposal refrigerators and the comparison of performances between other algorithms. This paper introduced a procedure which integrates economic and environmental factors into the disassembly of disposal products for recycling in recycling cells. A qualitative method of disassembly analysis is developed and its ai is to improve the efficiency of the disassembly and to generated an optimal disassembly which maximize profits and minimize environmental impact. Three criteria established to reduce the search space and facilitate recycling opportunities.

Disassembly is a fundamental process needed for component reuse and material recycling in all assembled products. Integral attachments, also known as 'snap' fits, are favored fastening means in design for assembly (DFA) methodologies, but not necessarily a favored choice for design for disassembly. In this paper, design methods of a new class of integral attachments are proposed, where the snapped joints can be disengaged by the application of localized heat sources. The design problem of reversible integral attachments is posed as the design of compliant mechanisms actuated with localized thermal expansion of materials. Topology optimization technique is utilized to obtain conceptual layout of snap-fit mechanisms that realizes a desired deformation of snapped features for joint release. Two design approaches are attempted and design results of each approach are presented, where the geometrical configuration extracted from optimal topologies are simplified to enhance the manufacturability for the conventional injection molding technologies. To maximize the magnitude of deformation, a design scheme has been proposed to include boundary conditions as design variables. Final designs are verified using commercial software for finite element analysis.
