Discrete Migratory Bird Optimizer for Disassembly Line Balancing Problem Considering Tool Deterioration

The issue of resource shortage has received much attention in recent years. Recycling end-of-life (EOL) products is conducive to alleviating the issue as well protecting the environment. In a practical disassembly process, the disassembly time of EOL products is affected by many factors. In this paper, we address the impact of tool deterioration on disassembly time. A disassembly line balancing model with a goal to maximize disassembly profit is established. In addition, we use a migratory bird optimizer to solve the problem. The feasibility and superiority of the algorithm are verified by comparing it with the salp swarm algorithm.
