Summary:Disassembly is one of the proposed solutions to the increased environmental problem of large-scale disposal of manufactured products. Disassembly process brings with it a lot of unresolved material control issues. In this paper we illustrate the implementation of the recently developed Flexible Kanban System to cope with the uncertainties that are unique to the disassembly system.
