ABSTRACT:
Obsolete and unwanted computer and other products are demanufactured according to a method of recovering the largest revenue. An optimum level of disassembly and parts removal is determined based on strategies involving outright sale, sale of parts, disassembly costs, and commodity recovery. Critical parts are identified and regulatory requirements are included.
