Abstract: In a remanufacturing production system, the part importations are from abandoned products that can still be used or can be reused by remanufacturing. Thus, the main difference between a remanufacturing production system and a normal production system is that the quality information of the objects to be remanufactured is uncertain, so is the remanufacturing technical information of every object. In this paper, the influencing factors of quality, time, and system component are analyzed. Also, study is done on the relationship between remanufacturing parts uncertainty and remanufacturing production system reliability. Based on the analysis, remanufacturing production system reliability model and method for calculating remanufacturing production system reliability under the uncertainty of parts quality are presented. This method provides theory for improving remanufacturing production system design and optimizing remanufacturing production technical system.

Key words: remanufacturing, production system, product quality, reliability
