Facilitated by advanced digital technologies, reliability managers can monitor system working cycles during the whole life cycle. Such a technological realization help ensure in real time monitoring cycles. In this paper, incorporating limited random cycle, rebate and charge into warranty theory, free repair with (RFRW-RC) is devised to stage. Under RFRW-RC, removes manufacturers’ responsibilit...

Title of dissertation: DETERMINING OPTIMAL RELIABILITY TARGETS THROUGH ANALYSIS OF PRODUCT VALIDATION COST AND FIELD WARRANTY DATA Andre V. Kleyner, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Peter Sandborn, Mechanical Engineering Department This work develops a new methodology to minimize the life cycle cost of a product using the decision variables controlled by a reliabil...

This paper is motivated by the inventory planning issues faced by a manufacturer of a digital projector. The seller faces demand from two sources: new demand, and demand to replace failed items under warranty. We model this setting as a multi-period single product inventory problem where the new demand in different periods are independent and the demand for replacing failed items under warranty...

The working cycle of the products can be supervised by sensors and other measuring technologies. This fact means that supervising cycle, manufacturer devise a warranty policy, continuing to supervise post-warranty consumer model maintenance. However, in literature, there is no associated work. Integrating renewing free-replacement (RFRW) number cycles, this paper proposes two-dimensional which ...
