In this paper, we consider a remanufacturing system with reproduction and disposal. In the system, a decomposition process where recovered products are decomposed and classified into wastes to be disposed and materials and parts to be used in the processes for producing parts and products, is considered. For the remanufacturing system, two control policies are proposed. The performance of the proposed policies is analyzed by Markov analysis.
