hi ,

just came back from bali last week for conference. very interesting conference as you get to meet people in asean region. manage to develo network with ITB and Japanese counter parts. This week a bit busy due to extra work finisihing some conulting projects. Read a few jounal papers on disassembly pro zahari wanted to look into developing disassembly score. most research done on disassembly now concentrates on planning and sequencing. Research in disassembly score are not much of interest now but there is still people doing research in this area such as by including ergonomics posture as parameters of concerns. So this area could be saturated but maybe i can look into assembly scoring such as hitachi aem, lucas and others that might give some idea. i do know that lucas aseembly score takes into account component function this may be an idea i can work on. i email prof duflou on the posiibility of doing research on charaterising the active disassembly method. not sure what his opinion even he would respond ast all.
