N2 - The reverse cycle industry, encompassing repair, remanufacturing, and recycling, remains heavily reliant on manual processes. Despite technological advancements, there is a notable absence of tools that effectively integrate and automate manual conditions in disassembly sequence optimization. This work addresses this gap by detailing the development of a closed-loop manual disassembly assessment system, tailored to workstation design and disassembly sequence. The proposed method evaluates the ergonomics of CAD-based generated disassembly sequences, recommending optimal paths based on disassembly time and human factors to improve efficiency and safety in manual disassembly operations. Substantial barriers to large-scale implementation, including the complexity of integrating ergonomic assessments with existing CAD systems and the variability of manual tasks across different industries are discussed. Furthermore, it explores future considerations for the generalization of simulation methods, emphasizing the need for adaptable and scalable solutions that can accommodate diverse disassembly scenarios.
