Abstract
Disassembly planning and sequencing play an important role in recycling a fast-growing number of end-of-life products. Optimal sequences can effectively reduce carbon emissions and save natural resources in the remanufacturing industry. Considering the development of intelligent manufacturing technology, this work deals with the optimization problem of selective disassembly sequences with an objective of maximizing disassembly profit. Disassembly sequences are generated based on AND/OR graphs. After setting up an environment matrix based on such graphs, this proposes a Q-learning technique to find an selective optimal disassembly sequence. The algorithm is applied to real-life disassembly cases. Experimental results show that the algorithm is superior a popularly-used genetic algorithm (GA) in both computing speed and solution quality through their various comparisons.
