Nowadays, as a result of the rapid development in technology and innovation, new products are entering into the market incessantly. Therefore, products on the market are quickly getting old and unpopular. At this point, product recovery is become an important issue because of the economic and environmental reasons. The disassembly process, considered as the one of the most important step of product recovery, is described as the systematic separation of desirable components from end-of-life products through a series of operations. The design and balance of the disassembly line is highly important for an efficient process. Studies related to the disassembly lines in the literature have increased especially in recent years. In this study a multi-product multi-period disassembly line balancing problem is presented. A comprehensive mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is developed to formulate the addressed problem by considering the multi-manned station concept. The main purpose of solving the problem is to find task-to-station and worker-to-station assignments and lot sizes for all products over periods with the overall cost objective. Since the disassembly line balancing problem is addressed as NP-hard in the strong sense, the proposed model is only run for small-sized problems using GAMS and the results are obtained.
