Abstract: Abstract Increasing emergence of large amounts of discarded products puts pressure on manufacturers in the consumer goods industry. They have to balance economic considerations with environmental expectations of their costumers and legal obligations imposed by the government body. In this context, efficient disassembly helps to enable profitable remanufacturing of end-of-life products or at least limit the losses from disposal. This study represents a novel approach to combine the problems of disassembly sequence planning and machine scheduling. In contrast to existing formulations in the research field, the proposed model explicitly considers divergence of the product structure as inherent feature of disassembly. As a result, disassembly operations related to separate sub-assemblies of the same product can be scheduled at the same time. The proposed mixed integer programming formulation is solved using commercial optimization software and first computational implications are drawn from a short numerical study.
