Warranty Servicing with Imperfect Repair for Products Sold with a Two-Dimensional Warranty
نویسنده
چکیده
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 modeled using an accelerated failure time (AFT) model that allows for the effect of usage rate on item degradation.

Nowadays, offering extended warranty is considered as a lucrative source of income from the perspective of the after-sale service providers. Meanwhile, the main concern is presence or absence of base warranty and strategies adopted by the manufacturer during this period. Moreover, extended warranty structure must be responsive and customer oriented, which not only control the services cost but ...
متن کاملRepair-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 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 کاملA two-dimensional warranty servicing strategy based on reduction in product failure intensity
The cost of servicing a warranty depends, amongst other factors, on the type of repair performed under warranty. Although ‘‘all minimal repair’’ and ‘‘all replacement’’ policies are easy to implement and analyze, they are not always feasible and/or practical. Having a combination of different types of repair often leads to lower warranty servicing costs. In this article, to reduce the warranty ...

An effective warranty servicing strategy should be made considering both warranty cost and product availability. Based on the two-dimensional free repair warranty, a strategy combining the imperfect preventive maintenance and minimal repair is proposed where the imperfect preventive maintenances are implemented in a special subregion of the warranty and all other failures are repaired minimally...
