Optimal Burn-in Time to Minimize the Cost for Repairable Assembly Products under Warranty
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an optimal burn-in model for repairable assembly products (RAP) sold under warranty. The general repairable products, sold under warranty and optimal burn-in model by Sheu (2004) are further extended to the case in which the probability of type II failure is independent for a parent item. This paper investigates a parent item (product or system) made up of two items (sub-system), which has a bathtub-shaped failure rate. There are two types of failure possible for the parent item. One is the type/item I failure, which can be removed by a major repair, and the other is a type/item II failure, which can be removed by a minimal repair. The expected total cost per unit sold is derived for each of the two warranty policies (failure-free policy and rebate policy) as well as the conditions required for burn-in to be beneficial under failure-free policy.

Optimal burn-in time and warranty length under fully renewing combination free replacement and pro-rata warranty
Warranty is an important factor of marketing products; however, warranty always involves additional costs to the seller and these costs usually depend on product reliability. Burn-in is considered as a part of the production process in which the manufactured products are operated under accelerated stresses for a short time period before their release and has been applied as a way for enhancing ...
متن کاملOptimal overhaul–replacement policy for a multi-degraded repairable system sold with warranty
In this research, we study an optimal overhaul–replacement policy of a multi-degraded repairable system sold with a free replacement warranty. In the proposed replacement policy, a maintenance action and failure are dependent on a system degradation level and the system age, and hence the replacement model will provide more effective maintenance decisions. Failure of the system is modeled using...

This paper presents the effects of a free-repair warranty on the periodic replacement policy in discrete time process. Consider a repairable product that should be operating at the time over an indefinitely long operation cycle n ( , 2 , 1 n ); under the discrete-time periodic replacement policy, a product is preventively replaced at pre-specified operation cycles , 3 , 2 , N N N ...
متن کاملOptimal preventive maintenance strategy for repairable items under two-dimensional warranty
For repairable items under the two-dimensional warranty, the manufacturer expenses warranty costs for rectifying the failures occurring over the warranty coverage. Preventive maintenance actions reduce the occurrence intensity of item failures, and hence the warranty cost resulted from corrective maintenance, but bring additional preventive maintenance cost. In this paper, we investigate a peri...

For products sold with a warranty, preventive maintenance (PM) actions by either the manufacturer and/or the buyer has an impact on the total cost for both parties. In this investigation, we use a model to study the effect of PM carried out by the buyer on non-repairable items sold under a free replacement renewing warranty, and a penalty will be incurred by the buyer if the item fails before t...
