Our country faces a serious problem of the environmental pollution by the mass production and the large quantity consumption of the industry product. The thoroughness of the resources recycling has become necessary to solve these problems. As for the product design and the production control, how productivity should be improved has been discussed in the extreme emphasis. But from now, as for the product design, both assemblability and disassemblability must be taken into consideration at the same time. And also in production management, it must be investigated how the used products can be recycled in the low cost. Therefore, the facility layout method in recycling plant, which is composed of both the optimal solution method and the suboptimal solution method by neural network, is proposed in this paper.
