Repair-Replace Strategies for Two-Dimensional Warranty Policies
For repairable items sold with free replacement warranty, the actions available to the manufacturer to rectify failures under warranty are to (1) repair the failed item or (2) replace it with a new one. A proper repair-replace strategy can reduce the expected cost of servicing the warranty. In this paper, we study repair-replace strategies for items sold with a two-dimensional free replacement ...
متن کاملMaintenance policies with two-dimensional warranty
A new maintenance policy which minimizes the total expected servicing cost for an item with two–dimensional warranty is proposed. An iterative procedure to estimate the item’s failure rate function from historical observations and an optimization algorithm based on Monte Carlo simulation are applied to obtain the best maintenance policy. Numerical examples and sensitivity analysis are presented.
متن کاملAn imperfect repair strategy for two-dimensional warranty
The objective of this study is to develop a warranty servicing strategy, based on imperfect and minimal repairs, that minimises the total warranty servicing cost. For pre-specified degrees of repair, the expected warranty servicing cost is minimised by optimally partitioning a two-dimensional rectangular warranty region into n disjoint subregions. We numerically illustrate the imperfect repair ...
متن کاملWarranty Servicing with Imperfect Repair for Products Sold with a Two-Dimensional Warranty
In this paper, a new servicing strategy with imperfect repair is defined and studied for the manufacturer of a product sold with a two-dimensional warranty. The strategy is based on a specified region of the warranty defined in terms of age and usage, with the first failure in the region rectified by an imperfect repair and all other failures being minimally repaired. Product failures are model...
متن کاملOptimal repair}replace strategies for a warranted product
When a repairable product is sold with a free replacement warranty, the manufacturer has the option of rectifying a failure by either repairing the failed item or replacing it with a new one. In this paper, repairs are assumed to be minimal in the sense that they leave the product in exactly the same condition it was in prior to failure. We discuss the form of the optimal repair}replace strateg...
