Solving the Aircraft Disassembly Scheduling Problem
The article discusses the complexities involved in dismantling aircrafts at the end of their life cycle. It emphasizes the need for efficient scheduling to enhance profitability while adhering to various constraints. Two models are proposed to tackle this scheduling problem, tested on real operational data.
- ▪Dismantling aircrafts is essential for sustainability but has low profit margins for companies.
- ▪The disassembly process involves thousands of tasks and requires specific technician certifications.
- ▪The authors propose a Constraint Programming model and a MIP model to solve the scheduling problem.

An efficient scheduling of the disassembly procedure is thus crucial to ensure the profitability of the process and incentivize practice.
