In recent era, the creation of electronic contraptions is expanding step by step, which leads to tremendous electronic waste. This is the condition drives as a result of the current individuals expecting new innovation in a brief time. This circumstance makes the manufacturers in a circumstance to create the new item in a brief time, so the current items need to either be disposed or dismantled. In this circumstance the manufactures wanted to re-manufacture the end-of-life (E-O-L) items to meet the component necessity in the new items production. In this sense in our previous work we exhibited a methodology to choose the optimal number of take back product, so that the aggregate expense needed for the reverse logistic (RL) can be lessened. In this paper, we exhibited a novel methodology for the RL operation of E-O-L items, in view of an optimal scheduling algorithm. In the previous work we have located the optimal number of take back E-O-L products for the disassembly-to-order (D-T-O), and this paper displayed the procedure to legitimately schedule the machines to disassemble the products, so that the aggregate time as well as the total cost needed for the RL operation can be diminished. In the proposed structure artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is utilized. The proposed framework drives the preferred performance over the existing scheduling algorithms.

This research article provides the results obtained from comparative studies on the technical performance of some selected rice milling machines. There is a continuous and increasing demand for high quality rice production. This can be achieved by optimization of the rice milling process. Hence, we have studied the wear patterns in major machine components of three different brands of rice polishers. Here we have carried out a wear analysis and studied the processing mechanisms of rice milling machines. We have attempted to set a benchmark for wear resistance to design alternative materials, which can improve the wear life of cam, which acts as the major component in rice mills.
