Warranty Cost Models using Accelerated Life Tests on Dagum Distribution

Cost Analysis on Warranty Policies Using Freund's Bivariate Exponential Distribution

Purpose: In this paper, the minimal repair-replacement warranty policy is used to carry out a warranty cost analysis with warranty servicing times and failure times that are statistically correlated to bivariate distributions. Methods: Based on the developed approach by Park and Pham (2012a), we investigate the property of the Freund’s bivariate exponential distribution and obtain the number of...

Accelerated Life Testing and Age-Replacement Policy under Warranty on Exponentiated Pareto Distribution

In This Paper, we focus on estimating the expected total cost and expected cost rate for age replacement under warranty policy. We describe how to use design of Accelerated life testing (ALT) plans by assuming constant stress and life times are independently distributed as Exponentiated Pareto Distribution (EP) for predicting the cost of age replacement under warranty policy. This problem is st...

Failure Process Modeling with Censored Data in Accelerated Life Tests

Manufacturers need to evaluate the reliability of their products in order to increase the customer satisfaction. Proper analysis of reliability also requires an effective study of the failure process of a product, especially its failure time. So, the Failure Process Modeling (FPM) plays a key role in the reliability analysis of the system that has been less focused on. This paper introduces a f...

Bootstrap Intervals of the Parameters of Lognormal Distribution Using Power Rule Model and Accelerated Life Tests

On Renewing Warranty Cost Analysis Using Quasi-renewal Processes

Amongst the many approaches in modelling deteriorating systems with product warranty, renewing warranty has found favor in designing such systems. In this chapter our attention is focused on renewing warranty policy modelled using quasi-renewal inter repair times. With the basic classification of warranty policies viewed in the previous chapters, the warranties are further categorized as renewi...
