| Summary: | In this paper, we describe the implementation of a modified-pull system in a disassembly line setting, particularly the one with component-discriminating demand. The many complications associated with a disassembly line make it difficult for the traditional pull system to operate efficiently in this environment. These complications include: fluctuation in demand, supply and inventory, divergent flow of materials, and difficulty in selecting end-of- life products. The multikanban system proposed in this research utilizes enhanced routing rules and other policies to find a balance between the efficiency of a system and its ability to satisfy the demand of a customer. A numerical example is considered for illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed system. |
