Analysis of Environmental and Economic Disassembly Parts Selection by Goal Programming

The closed-loop supply chains that consist of forward and reverse flows require disassembly systems that recycle the end of life assembly products. To operate recycling factories economically and environmentally, a disassembly parts selection is often carried out. Igarashi et al. (2014) proposed the environmental and economic disassembly parts selection using Recyclability Evaluation Method by Integer Programming with the ɛ constraint method, and Kinoshita et al. (2015) adopted Goal Programming to this bi-objective problem.This study adopts the environmental and economic disassembly parts selection using Goal Programming proposed by Kinoshita et al. (2015) to cell phone, and validates the design method by analyzing the product example. First, the design procedure among products is explained. Second, the method is applied to cell phone in order to analyze the common and different characteristics. Finally, the results are compared to Igarashi et al. (2014) and Kinoshita et al. (2015).
