Electronic products enter the waste stream rapidly due to technological enhancements. Their parts and material recovery involve significant economic and environmental gain. To regain the value added to such products a certain level of disassembly may be required. Disassembly operations are often expensive and the complexity of determining the best disassembly sequence increases as the number of parts in a product grows. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methodologies for obtaining optimal or near optimal disassembly sequences to ensure efficient recovery process. To that end, this chapter introduces a Genetic Algorithm based methodology to develop disassembly sequencing for end-of-life products. A numerical example is presented to provide and demonstrate better understating and functionality of the algorithm.
