Disassembly process planning using Bayesian network

Abstract

The management of end-of-life systems becomes more and more important due to the awareness of their environmental impact. In this context, the disassembly process requires more attention with the ultimate goal to make profit. In this paper, we propose a new approach to determine optimal disassembly plan of an end-of-life system by using bayesian network. To take advantage of some existing approaches that use Petri Net to model such process, a Petri Net model is first established and then translated to Bayesian Network in order to take into account inevitable uncertainties associated to such process.
