About
Header M. Alrufaifi is a researcher advancing the field of sustainable manufacturing and product lifecycle engineering, with a primary focus on disassembly sequence planning and computer-aided design (CAD) evaluation. Their most notable contribution is the development of a CAD-based collision evaluation method for assessing disassembly feasibility, which directly addresses the critical challenge of efficient product recycling and remanufacturing. This work, published in 2022 and garnering 25 citations, provides a systematic approach to automatically evaluate part removal sequences by analyzing geometric collisions within digital models. By bridging virtual design and physical disassembly, Alrufaifi’s research enables manufacturers to optimize end-of-life product recovery, reduce waste, and enhance circular economy practices. Their approach is particularly impactful for industries dealing with complex assemblies, such as electronics and automotive sectors, where manual disassembly planning is time-intensive. With a growing citation record, Alrufaifi’s work is increasingly recognized as a foundational step toward integrating sustainability into early design stages. For students and researchers exploring green engineering, Alrufaifi’s contributions demonstrate how computational tools can transform waste management into a data-driven, efficient process.
