Description
Summary:The energy crisis and environmental pollution are receiving increasing attention from governments and communities. This study researches energy-aware remanufacturing systems. Remanufacturing aims to reuse valuable resources from end-of-life products and produce as-new products. Since remanufacturing systems involve a series of disassembly, processing and assembly operations, remanufacturing schedule integrates disassembly, processing and assembly shops. A multi-objective scheduling of remanufacturing systems is proposed, considering workstation use, energy consumption and customer satisfaction simultaneously. A chance-constrained programming model is established to minimize makespan and energy consumption while satisfying total tardiness requirements. A hybrid method is developed, using group teaching optimization and a discrete event simulation system, which can seek and evaluate potentially favourable solutions. The approach is validated on a group of test instances using well-known methods. The results reveal that this method can find non-dominated solutions with well-converged and well-diversified performance, verifying its advantages in providing informed decisions for managers and engineers.
