An upsurge of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) is emerging in China, which means a potential monumental environmental crisis. The approach of disassembly line is expected to be an effective solution to such increasing volumes. Due to the complexity of vehicle product and uncertainties of disassembly processes, a complete set of disassembly line system should be taken into detailed consideration. We have designed and constructed a novel disassembly line using a flexible transition technique with the objective of complete disassembly. Prior to productivity testing, comparative Arena-based simulations on four scenarios have been performed and finally a best scenario is selected. The results show that the guarantee of cycle time is the key to meet the productivity target of 30,000 vehicles for one year. To achieve it, some constructive measures such as forcible entry tools are given. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
