Abstract
AbstractNowadays, one of the challenges facing by the world is the excess waste of electronic products. The product design with high complexity increases the difficulty during disassembly process. Besides, it increases the disassembly time. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to achieve the goals of sustainable product development via enhancement of ease of assembly and disassembly. Modifications of snap fit be focused. MOST sequence is used to determine the disassembly time. Analysis of assembly and disassembly force is used to obtain the force requires to assemble and disassemble the product. The results showed the modified design requires 4.8 s and 21.72 N to disassemble the plastic covers. In addition, the disassembly time of modified design reduced 62.5% where the assembly and disassembly force reduced with an average of 6.51%. The findings show the design of snap fit is important because it defines the assembly and disassembly force and disassembly time of a product. The disassembly time and disassembly force are reduced which eventually reduce amount of e-waste.KeywordsDisassemblyAssemblySustainable designMOST sequence
