DISASSEMBLY SCHEDULING USING STOCHASTIC ALGORITHMS

An essential criterion for a disassembly system is the benefit it brings, that is the revenue brought by the retrieved parts and material, decreased by the cost of their retrieval. In the recycling industry the main problem is the uncertainty that occurs during the disassembly operations. A fast scheduling algorithm is proposed so as to optimize the income flow of the disassembly system taking into account alternative destructive operations. Two examples from industry are given.
