Design for disassembly (DFD) is an important design concept to make products more friendly for maintenance and remanufacturing practices. One of the important issues in DFD guidelines is related with the selection of the connectors used in the product. This paper evaluates the alternative connection types using the powerful analytic network process (ANP). The paper generates a complete ANP model, which includes all important aspects of connector selection. The model presented evaluates alternative connectors by including the three main concerns: (1) making product disassembly friendly; (2) making product assembly efficient; and (3) increasing the product performance when it is in-use. The results obtained from the model can benefit designers in making better decisions on selecting connectors to be used in the product. Benefits of the approach is detailed through illustrative example.
