Abstract
In order to improve the benefits of remanufacturing of end-of-life (EOL) products, the remanufacturability of these products should be analyzed. However, it is insufficient to evaluate the remanufacturability just according to the feasibility of technologies. The remanufacturability of EOL products should also be analyzed from the view of product life cycle. In this paper, the remanufacturability is discussed according to the signification of usage lifecycle and market lifecycle, which are sub conceptions of product life cycle. The cost and profit model of remanufacturing is also discussed from the view of product life cycle. In addition, preconditions and strategy are presented for direct remanufacturing, upgrading remanufacturing and component remanufacturing. Finally, three case studies are performed to verify the above mentioned remanufacturing strategies based on the analysis of EOL products.
