A Scatter Search Approach for Multiobjective Selective Disassembly Sequence Problem

Abstract

Disassembly sequence has received much attention in recent years. This work proposes a multiobjective optimization of model for selective disassembly sequences and maximizing disassembly profit and minimizing disassembly time. An improved scatter search (ISS) is adapted to solve proposed multiobjective optimization model, which embodies diversification generation of initial solutions, crossover combination operator, the local search strategy to improve the quality of new solutions, and reference set update method. To analyze the effect on the performance of ISS, simulation experiments are conducted on different products. The validity of ISS is verified by comparing the optimization effects of ISS and nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II).
