Abstract

Optimizing multi-factory remanufacturing systems with social welfare considerations presents critical challenges in task allocation and process coordination. This study addresses this gap by proposing a hybrid disassembly line balancing and multi-factory remanufacturing process optimization problem, considering workers with government benefits. A mixed-integer programming model is formulated to maximize profit, and its correctness is verified using the CPLEX solver. Furthermore, a discrete zebra optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the model, integrating a survival-of-the-fittest strategy to improve its optimization capabilities. The effectiveness and convergence of the algorithm are demonstrated through experiments on disassembly cases, with comparisons made to six peer algorithms and CPLEX. The experimental results highlight the importance of this research in improving resource utilization efficiency, reducing environmental impacts, and promoting sustainable development.
