Purpose: The purpose of this research is to study research trend in the field of warranty and maintenance policy of second-hand products. Methods: To this end, we consider research articles, which deal with warranty and maintenance of the second-hand products, published on journals during the past 20 years and classify them by taxonomy scheme proposed by Shafiee and Chukova (2013). The taxonomy scheme consists of three maintenance models in warranty for second-hand product. In each models, we analyze proposed maintenance and warranty policies with respect to types of upgrade models, types of preventive maintenances, decision variables and decision criteria model. Results: We obtain the scheme of maintenance and warranty of the second-hand products and define cost related to warranty and maintenance of the second-hand item. Also, we summarize the characteristics of maintenance and warranty policies in each classified model. Conclusion: There have been several research reviews on maintenance and warranty polity of new products. This research surveys researches of authors during the past 20 years and classifies, summarizes and compares proposed maintenance and warranty policies of the second-hand products. This research provides useful information to researchers who are interested in maintenance and warranty of the second-hand products.

In this paper, optimal bum-in time to minimize the total mean cost, which is the sum of manufacturing cost with burn-in and cumulative warranty-related cost, is obtained. When the products with cumulative pro-rata warranty have high failure rate in the early period (infant mortality period), a burn-in procedure is adopted to eliminate early product failures. After burn-in, the posterior product life distribution and the warranty-related cost are dependent on burn-in time; long burn-in period may reduce the warranty-related cost, but it increases the manufacturing cost. The paper provides a methodology to obtain total mean cost under burn-in and cumulative pro-rata warranty. Property of the optimal burn-in time is analyzed, and numerical examples and sensitivity analysis are studied.

Present worth of warranty cost for an irrepairable item is derived under free-replacement, prorata and hybrid warranty policies, respectively. In this paper, it is assumed that the lifetime distribution is a Gamma, and warranty period is not renewed but maintained as promised at the selling time regardless of replacements due to warranty contract. A numerical example on the relationship between present worth of warranty cost and mean time to failure is included.

Most warranty studies assume that the usage intensity is the same for all buyers. However, in real life the usage intensity varies across the population of buyers. In the general case, one can divide the population into $\kappa$ categories. This has implications for manufacturers of products. Should a manufacturer produce one product and offer different warranties for the $\kappa$ groups or produce different products (one for each group) and offer the same warranty. A warranty cost analysis is needed to choose between these options. The analysis complicated by factors such as adverse selection , buyers attitude to risk and the price structure. In this paper we develop models to study the expected warranty cost for products with free replacement warranty with varying usage intensity. Numerical examples are presented.

The market for used products is becoming more competitive and dealers of used products use warranty to promote sales as well as to provide assurance to customers. Offering warranty results in additional costs associated with warranty servicing. This cost can be reduced through actions such as overhaul and upgrade that improves the reliability of the item. This is worthwhile only if the cost of improvement is less than the reduction in the warranty servicing cost. This paper deals with two models to decide on the reliability improvement strategies for used items sold with FRW policy.

In this paper we present a Bayesian approach for determining an optimal maintenance policy following the expiration of warranty for a repairable system. We consider two types of warranty policies : non-renewing free replacement warranty (NFRW) and non-renewing pro-rata warranty (NPRW). The mathematical formula of the expected cost rate per unit time is obtained for NFRW and NPRW, respectively. When the failure time is Weibull distribution with uncertain parameters, a Bayesian approach is established to formally express and update the uncertain parameters for determining an optimal maintenance policy. We illustrate the use of our approach with simulated data.

This paper is concerned with warranty cost models for a product with two types of failure ; type 1 failures corrected by minimal repair and type 2 failures removed only by replacement. Two warranty policies involving an initial free service period followed by a pro-rata period are considered ; the difference is whether the warranty is renewed or not when type 2 failure occures during its free service period. Expected warranty costs under the two policies are obtained, and their behaviors are examined for the case where type 1 and 2 failure distributions are Weibull and exponential, respectively.

We consider the question of warranties for repairable items. During the warranty period, each time an item fails the manufacturer has the obligation to restore the item to operational condition either by repairing the item or by replacing it by a new item. In this paper, we consider a warranty policy for making this decision based on the condition of the failed item. For products with phase-type lifetime distributions where the phases represent the condition of the item, we develop algorithms to determine the expected cost of servicing a warranty and use it in making the repair/replacement decision. illustrative numerical examples are presented.

자동차 부품의 품질보증 비용은 각 시장의 품질보증 영역(warranty region) 내에서 부품이 고장 날 확률에 따라 달라진다. 부품이 고장 날 확률은 각 시장의 다른 스트레스 조건이 비슷하다고 가정할 때 사용비율(usage-rate)에 영향을 크게 받는다. 그러므로 품질보증 비용은 사용비율을 반영한 고장모형을 수립하고 이를 이용한 확률과정 (stochastic process)을 통하여 예측할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용비율을 선형으로 가정한 후 가속실험 모형을 적용하여 2차원 고장모형을 1차원으로 축소시킨다. 이렇게 1차원으로 축소된 고장모형은 사용비율의 함수로 표현될 수 있으므로 사용비율의 변동에 따른 부품의 고장확률 변동을 설명할 수 있다. 이를 통해 새로운 시장의 사용비율을 알면 실측 데이터가 없다고 하더라도 고장확률 분포를 추정할 수 있고 교체되어야 하는 부품일 경우 재생과정(renewal process)으로 비용을 예측할 수 있다. 응용사례에서 실제 두 시장의 품질보증 데이터를 이용하여 이를 분석해 보았다.
