Experimental Design for Reverse Assembly Based Disassembly Process

Abstract:

Product disassembly is a vital strategy for industrial recycling and remanufacturing which generates the desired parts and/or subassemblies by means of separation of a product into its elements. In order to increase disassembly capacity while maintaining the parts quality, new standards had to be established. Manual disassembly work perform by human will create inconsistency in the quality, efficiency, as well as time consuming, whereby it is believe that those weaknesses can be overcome by an automated performance. Therefore, this research work will re-evaluate the existing approach of disassembly process; reverse-assembly method in disassemble a mini toy car. The design methodology is conducted to verify the disassembly process performance and identify factors affecting the performance. The disassembly process experiment will be conducted in two ways; manual and semi-automated disassembly. This paper reviews the design process of the proposed experimental methodology. The important components of the experimental methodology are discussed in this paper.
