Abstract
Recycling and demanufacturing have become more and more important due to the increasing environmental problems and depleting natural resources. Industry has been forced to deal with product take-back issues. The used products, to be disassembled, exhibit much uncertainty in their property, component conditions and configuration structures. This paper presents a methodology to model and analyze the demanufacturing process for motors using Petri net (PN) technique. A PN based take-back product explosion topology and its precedence relations during disassembly are presented. We have developed an adaptive scheme to investigate the demanufactured processes by a parametric methodology and tree theory in a PN framework. An adaptive disassembly planner is used to find the flexible operation path and maximum benefit procedure once the product-disassembly parameters are known. An adaptive method to study the critical environmental problem is developed and verified by using a motor demanufacturing model. The result of this approach has thus enhanced the idea that the end-of-life retirement of products should be endowed new life and recovery.
