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 ...

Automobile warranties and thus lifetimes are characterized in the two-dimensional space of time and mileage. This paper presents a non-homogenous Poisson Process (NHPP) predictive model for automobile warranty claims consisting of two components: a population size function and a failure or warranty claim rate. The population size function tracks the population in the time domain and accounts fo...

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...

In this study, we deal with a model to study the effect of PM carried out by both parties on a repairable product sold under a non-renewing, free-repaired warranty policy. During the warranty period, the seller will repair the deteriorated but repairable product and charges no fee to the buyer. After the warranty period, the deteriorated product is also repaired by the seller but the buyer will...
