“…During this phase, three decisions are made about the level, sequence and method of disassembly. At this stage, remanufacturers should make decisions such as choosing the most appropriate tools, identify the simplest disassembly mechanism and minimise the use of force (Mok, Kim & Moon, 1997). Sometimes employees are supported by a product database, as well as information about the history and specification of the cores, to help them to make the decisions (Westkamper et al 1999).…”

Abstract:Purpose: Disassembly is an important process that distinguishes remanufacturing from conventional manufacturing. It is a unique process that becomes focus of investigation from many scholars. Yet, most scholars investigate disassembly from technical and operational standpoint that lack of strategic perspective. This paper attempts to fill this gap by looking at disassembly from a strategic perspective by considering organisational characteristics, process choices and product attributes. To be more specific, this paper has three objectives. First, to gain understanding what has been done, and what need to be done in the field of disassembly in remanufacturing. Second, to conduct a systematic literature review for identifying the factors affecting disassembly for remanufacturing. Third, to propose a new model of disassembly for remanufacturing and also to provide avenues for future research.Design/methodology/approach: This study used a systematic literature review method. A series of steps were undertaken during the review. The study was started with determining the purpose of the study, selecting appropriate keywords, and reducing the selected papers using a number of criteria. A deeper analysis was carried out on the final paper that meets the criteria for this review.-899- 2053 Findings: There are two main findings of this study. First, a list of factors affecting disassembly in remanufacturing is identified. The factors can be categorised into three groups: organisational factors, process choices and product attributes. Second, using factors that have been identified, a new model of disassembly process for remanufacturing is developed. Current studies only consider disassembly as a physical activity to break down products into components. In the new model, disassembly is viewed as a process that converts into into output, which consist of a series of steps. Journal ofIndustrial Engineering and Management -http://dx.doi.org/10.3926/jiem. Research limitations/implications:The opportunities for future research include: the need to develop an index of factors affecting disassembly, and how to most appropriate relationship between original equipment manufacturers and contract remanufacturers to share knowledge gained from remanufacturing operations to improve product remanufacturability. Practical implications:Remanufacturers should not focus on product attributes only in order to manage their disassembly process efficiently. Rather, more strategic factors such organisational factors and process choices should also be considered as well.Originality/value: This is the first study that identifies a comprehensive factors affecting disassembly in remanufacturing. In addition, it is for the first time that disasembly is not only viewed as a physical activity, but it is a process that consists of a series of step.

“…Therefore, the automotive industry is responsible for considerable quantities of waste in the country [14]. Moreover, [15] indicated that automobiles affect the environment through their entire life-cycle, thus recovery strategies for automobiles are becoming important owing to energy and environmental issues. One of the recent trends in automotive design is aimed at improving environmental-friendliness [16].…”

Life-cycle thinking in the development of new products has led design engineers to rethink the way they design sustainable products. One of the most viable approaches is designing products for multiple life-cycles. For this purpose, a sustainable design tool that has a broader perspective in providing design guidelines to enhance end-of-life product recovery for multiple life-cycles is necessary. However, there are too many design requirements, some of which are conflicting. Designers are not supported by specific methodologies or tools to evaluate the weightage and importance of the design elements. Therefore, an extensive review of the design requirements of remanufacturable products was conducted in order to identify the design elements for multiple life-cycle products. A modified Analytical Hierarchy Process method was developed based on the design strategies in order to obtain the weightage that indicates the importance of each design element. The proposed approach is capable of refining and setting priorities in strategic decision-making during the design phase of a multiple life-cycle product. Verification of the strategic factors was based on an in-depth interview with an automobile engine remanufacturer. Based on the study, disassemblability and assemblability were found to be the two most important criteria in designing automobile engines for multiple lifecycles.

“…Some scholars have carried out relevant researches evaluating the disassemblability of ELV recycling systems using various methods such as spread sheet-like chart (Kroll and Hanft, 1998), end-of-life value (Lee et al, 2001) and time for disassembly (Gungor and Gupta, 1997;Hwa-Cho et al, 2003;Mok et al, 1997). However, few researchers focus on the sustainability of ELV recycling systems and there is no consensus on describing and determining the sustainability of ELV recycling systems.…”

a b s t r a c tAs issues concerning "circular economy" and "sustainable development" have been advocated globally, the recycling, reuse, recovery or disposal of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) have gained more and more attention. Toxic substances and wasted resources within ELVs make evaluating the sustainability of ELV recycling enterprises to be especially important for sound ELV management. In this study, an improved emergy analysis with traditional and revised emergy indices was employed for evaluation of the efficiency and sustainability of ELV recycling enterprises. The constructed emergy indicator system not only reflected the ELV recycling system's resource, environmental, economic and technological efficiency, but also made a multi-scale and multi-dimensional evaluation of the system according to its industrial characteristics. An ELV recycling enterprise in Jiangxi Province, China, as a case, was studied employing the proposed method and indicator system. The results showed that the enterprise involved in the study had strong competitive ability with relatively high economic benefit, and had a moderate environmental impact compared with other industrial systems. The emergy sustainability index indicated that the recycling enterprise was both economically and environmentally sustainable in the long term. However, the emergy technical efficiency indices indicated that the technical level and operational efficiency of the ELV recycling enterprise were relatively low and more investment should be put into the improvement of the recycling technologies. The results of the study can provide useful information for the decision makers to manage ELV recycling enterprises considering not only economic benefits but also the environmental benefits in the long term.
