“…Comparison of economic benefits of sensor-embedded products and conventional products in a multi-product disassembly line are provided by Ilgin and Gupta (2010b). Ilgin and Gupta (2011a) evaluates the impact of sensor-embedded products on the performance of an air conditioner disassembly line while recovery of sensor embedded washing machines using a multi-kanban-controlled disassembly line is discussed by Ilgin and Gupta (2011b) and Nakashima, Kojima, and Gupta (2012) demonstrates the effectiveness of utilising the multi-kanban mechanism in a disassembly line.…”

The disassembly line balancing (DLB) problem assigns the set of tasks to each workstation for each product to be disassembled and aims at attaining several objectives, such as minimising the number of workstations, ensuring similar idle time at each workstation and removing hazardous parts/highly demanded components at the earliest moments possible. Over the past two decades, the DLB problem and its variants have grown ever more popular for researchers and practitioners of environmentally conscious manufacturing. Yet, the problem characteristics and assumptions vary widely and there is no literature review to classify the existing articles accordingly. Hence, a comprehensive literature review of recent and state-of-the-art papers is vital to draw a framework of the past, and to shed light on future directions. To do so, 116 studies published in proceedings and journals since 1999 are selected and reviewed. The papers are then analysed and categorised to construct a useful foundation of past research. Finally, trends and gaps in the literature are identified to clarify and to suggest future research opportunities.

“…Finally, transportation and disposal costs were reduced because the operators had the ability to proactively plan the disposal of non-functional components. In a series of papers, [39][40][41][42][43], the authors experimented the cases that proposes using sensors in different products and discussed the economic benefits of using sensors in product recovery. Ilgin and Gupta [39] presented a single-product disassembly line controlled by a multi-kanban system and investigated the use of sensors in product recovery of this system.…”

Sensors are commonly employed to monitor products during their life cycles and to remotely and continuously track their usage patterns. Installing sensors into products can help generate useful data related to the conditions of products and their components, and this information can subsequently be used to inform EOL decision-making. As such, embedded sensors can enhance the performance of EOL product processing operations. The information collected by the sensors can also be used to estimate and predict product failures, thereby helping to improve maintenance operations. This paper describes a study in which system maintenance and EOL processes were combined and closed-loop supply chain systems were constructed to analyze the financial contribution that sensors can make to these procedures by using discrete event simulation to model and compare regular systems and sensor-embedded systems. The factors that had an impact on the performance measures, such as disassembly cost, maintenance cost, inspection cost, sales revenues, and profitability, were determined and a design of experiments study was carried out. The experiment results were compared, and pairwise t-tests were executed. The results reveal that sensor-embedded systems are significantly superior to regular systems in terms of the identified performance measures.

“…According to Ilgin and Gupta's [20] comprehensive study that quantitatively evaluated SEP impact on disassembly line performance, results indicated that remanufacturing customer uncertainty is reduced with the use of smart SEPs and that these are favorable in improving performance. To translate and test this claim on an ARTO system, we developed a simulation model mimicking a full recovery system and logged its behaviors under various environmental conditions.…”

Remanufacturing is recognized as a major circular economy option to recover and upgrade functions from post-use products. However, the inefficiencies associated with operations, mainly due to the uncertainty and variability of material flows and product conditions, undermine the growth of remanufacturing. With the objective of supporting the design and management of more proficient and robust remanufacturing processes, this paper proposes a generic and reconfigurable simulation model of remanufacturing systems. The developed model relies upon a modular framework that enables the user to handle multiple process settings and production control policies, among which token-based policies. Customizable to the characteristics of the process under analysis, this model can support logistics performance evaluation of different production control policies, thus enabling the selection of the optimal policy in specific business contexts. The proposed model is applied to a real remanufacturing environment in order to validate and demonstrate its applicability and benefits in the industrial settings.
