摘要: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to introduce sequence‐dependent disassembly line balancing problem (SDDLBP) the literature and propose an efficient metaheuristic solution methodology NP‐complete problem.Design/methodology/approach This manuscript utilizes a well‐proven metaheuristics methodology, namely, ant colony optimization, address problem.Findings Since SDDLBP NP‐complete, finding optimal balance becomes computationally prohibitive due exponential growth space with increase in number parts. proposed very fast, generates (near) solutions, preserves precedence requirements easy implement.Practical implications development cost effective profitable systems important issue end‐of‐life product treatment, every step towards improving brings us closer savings compelling practicality.Originality/value introduces...
