![]() As result, the best sequence has been highlighted in order to define a structured and efficient disassembly. The operations evaluated have been converted in time using time measurement units (TMUs). All three are analyzed by the disassembly order graph (DOG) approach and compared. A further sequence of disassembly is provided by the authors based on experience and personal knowledge. In this paper, some disassembly sequences are evaluated, and among them, two methods for defining an optimal sequence are provided and tested on a case study of a mechanical assembly. ![]() The sequence of disassembly is the ordered way to extract parts from an assembly and is a focal item in DfD because it can deeply influence times and operations. Design for disassembly (DfD) offers the possibility of reducing the time and cost of disassembling a product and accounts for the reusing of parts and of the dismantling of parts, joints, and materials. Literature evidences many advantages in terms of the saving of costs and time and in the fluent organization of the whole design process. ![]() Recently, the approach that defines the total life cycle assessment (LCA) and the end of life (EoL) in the early design phases is becoming even more promising.
