Abstract:

One solution to environmental problems is to construct a recycling-oriented manufacturing system, in which waste products after consumption are collected, and reusable parts in the collected products are employed to produce new products. A parts-mix in the manufacturing system for multiple-item production is analysed by taking into consideration the merits and demerits of the usage of common parts over multiple products and special parts utilized for individual products. The parts-mix problem is formulated to minimize the life-cycle cost, which consists of production costs and recycling costs. The property of the optimal parts-mix is clarified, and a decision procedure to solve the parts-mix is developed. The procedure decides whether the common parts are effective or not.
