Abstract
The remanufacturing system is a series of industrial process in which worn-out products are restored to like-new condition. The remanufacturing system is differ from the repair system not only process characteristics but also product characteristics. So, it is required to design another model for the remanufacturing system which is distinct from the repair system and also performance index is required for the remanufacturing system. Therefore, in this paper we suggest the availability model for remanufacturing system by using Markov Process. This model represents each of the states of the remanufacturing system. Also performance indexes of remanufacturing system are introduced. Performance indexes are consisting of part reuse frequency and time, part disposal frequency and time. As a result, we can have a choice and control the proper part and offer useful information during the remanufacturing by using these availability model and performance indexes.
