Abstract

This article focuses on a disassembly-to-order system for end-of-life (EOL) electronic products. The EOL system embodies a variety of cost and revenue functions, starting from the take-back step, till the disassembled items and recycled materials are sent to customers. Storage and proper disposal options are also included in the model with the appropriate financial measures. A thorough solution methodology, involving these functions in an environmentally conscious manner, is provided based on the linear physical programming algorithm. The algorithm embodies various environmental, managerial and financial targets, which may be either quantitative or qualitative. The introduction of intangible factors allows the model to obtain desirable levels of important targets viz., environmental damage and customer satisfaction. The model also fulfils the demand for items and materials without backorders.
