Abstract

With the advancement of science and technology in recent years, the rate of product upgrading by end users has increased, resulting in a high number of End-Of-Life (EOL) products. For environmental protection and economic benefits, disassembly lines are set up to recycle them. A disassembly line balancing problem arises and has attracted widespread attention. In this paper, we design a model to address a class of disassembly line balancing problems in which the main optimization objective is to maximize profits, while keeping carbon emission in a tolerable range. A discrete whale optimization algorithm is proposed to solve them. Its efficiency is verified by comparing its solutions with their analytic solutions obtained from a commercial optimization solver and other swarm intelligence algorithms. Experimental results show that it is significantly faster than its peers in solving large-scale optimization problems while guaranteeing its solutions, quality.
