Abstract: This note comments on the study of [Diri Kenger, Zülal, Çağrı Koç, and Eren Özceylan. 2020. “Integrated Disassembly Line Balancing and Routing Problem.” International Journal of Production Research 58 (23): 7250–7268.] which studies an integrated disassembly line balancing and routing problem and develops two mixed integer linear programming (MILP) models and three mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) models to handle five different scenarios, respectively. The purpose is twofold. First, we demonstrate that the two MILP models can be separated into two parallel subproblems whose optimal solutions can be combined to obtain the optimal solution of the original models. Second, we show that the three MINLP models can be linearised and propose two different linearisation techniques to reformulate them as equivalent MILP models. Computational results indicate that the linearised model outperforms the original nonlinear model in most cases.
