In order to improve the benefits of remanufacturing of end-of-life (EOL) products, the remanufacturability ofthese products should be analyzed. However, it is insufficient to evaluate the remanufacturability just according to thefeasibility of technologies. The remanufacturability of EOL products should also be analyzed from the view of productlife cycle. In this paper, the remanufacturability is discussed according to the signification of service lifecycle and marketlifecycle, which are sub concepts of product life cycle. The cost and profit model of remanufacturing is also proposedfrom 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 abovementioned remanufacturing strategies based on the analysis of EOL products.
