Development of integrated design for disassembly and recycling in concurrent engineering

Abstract

The extremely high and ever‐increasing annual disposal rates of solid waste have caused a big problem for environmental protection in the world. Unlike the first environmental revolution in the 1970s, which was aimed at cleaning up hazardous waste from contaminated sites and natural resources, the second revolution is addressing waste reduction at the source. The solution of these problems cannot rely only on legislation and must be supported by effective methods. This goal can be achieved through the design of products that promote disassembly, reusing and recycling. In order to design environmentally friendly products in concurrent engineering, this paper applies axiomatic design to develop the integrated design guidelines with Axiom 1 (independence axiom) for generating acceptable designs and an evaluation score with Axiom 2 (information axiom) for determining better or the best design from the acceptable designs.

“…Das et al (2000) estimate disassembly cost and effort by calculating a disassembly effort index comprising of seven factors: time, tools, fixture, access, instruct, hazard, and force requirements. Chen (2001) uses axiomatic design to develop integrated design guidelines and an evaluation score for the ease of disassembly and recycling called Integrated Disassembly and Recycling Score (IDRS). Ferrer (2001) proposes a framework for the determination of the disassembly and recovery process of a product by developing economic measures of recyclability, disassemblability and reusability.…”
