Abstract

Disassembly process decomposes a product into parts or subassemblies. Due tothe uncertainties that occur during this process, designing and balancing a disassemblyline is a very challenging problem. To deal with the disassembly line balancing problem anew method which relies on the equal piles approach is proposed.
