SELECTED DISASSEMBLY PLANNING FOR PRODUCT MAINTAINABILITY

摘要

Products are traditionally designed mainly to meet functional requirements with rarely considering maintenance issues for products life-cycle. This paper presents an approach to nondestructive selective disassembly planning for the product maintenance. The approach is based on the part disassemblability analysis. It provides a way to support interactive selective disassembly task planning in dynamic manufacturing environments considering the operation space in applications. To support design at the early stage of product development, this paper also discusses de-manufacturability and maintainability analysis based on the proposed approach. Examples are provided to verify the developed method.
