Abstract
Reuse of products and their components can be an economically and environmentally superior alternative to material recycling. One of the main obstacles in implementing a reuse strategy is the lack of reliable methods to assess the reliability of used parts, which should take the physical and technology life into account. This paper presents a lifetime simulation model to predict the remaining life of components for reuse based on the Weibull method and the S-curve technique to represent the physical and technology life of components. The model was tested by using a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) television.
