This paper proposes free warranty interval for repairable items when the failure types of item are considered. Failure types are classified into major failure and minor failure. If major failure occurs during warranty period, the item is replaced and if minor failure occurs during warranty period, the item is minimally repaired. This paper determines the optimum free warranty interval which minimizes total expected cost of the free warranty cost model. Numerical example is shown in which failure time of item has weibull distribution.

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.

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.

판매되는 제품에 대한 보증비용은 소비자의 사용정도에 관계없이 일정하다고 가정한다. 하지만 현실적으로는 소비자들에 따라 사용 정도가 서로 다를 수 있다. 사용정도와 예방보수 형태는 보증비용 책정에 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 소비자에 따라 사용정도가 다르고 예방보수 정책의 형태가 서로 다른 경우에 대한 제품의 기대보증 비용을 산출할 수 있는 새로운 보증비용 모형을 제시했다.

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 consider a replacement model following the expiration of warranty. In other words, this paper proposes the optimal replacement policy for a repairable system following the expiration of payable renewing replacement-non-renewing minimal repair warranty. The expected cost rate per unit time from the user's perspective is used to determine the optimality of the replacement policy. Thus, we derive the expressions for the expected cycle length and the expected total cost to obtain the expected cost rate per unit time. Finally, the numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.

This paper reports a manner to use a Bayesian approach to derive the optimal replacement policy. In order to produce a system with minimal repair warranty, a replacement model with the extended warranty is considered. Within the warranty period, the failed system is minimally repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to the end-user. The failure time is assumed to follow a Weibull distribution with unknown parameters. The expected cost rate per unit time, from the end-user's viewpoints, is induced by the Bayesian approach, and the optimal replacement policy to minimize the cost rate is proposed. Finally, a numerical example illustrating to derive the optimal replacement policy based on the Bayesian approach is described.

In this paper, we consider the optimal replacement policies following the expiration of the combination warranty. The combination warranty can be divided into the renewing combination warranty and the non-renewing combination warranty. The criterion used to determine the optimal replacement period is the overall value function based on the expected cost and the expected downtime. Thus, we obtain the expected cost rate per unit time and the expected downtime per unit time for our model. And then the overall value function suggested by Jiagn and Ji(2002) is applied to obtain the optimal replacement period. The numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.

Jung et al.(2015) suggest the two-phase warranty model, which is a general type of warranty model. Under the two-phase warranty, the warranty period is divided into two intervals, one of which is for renewing replacement warranty, and the other is for minimal repair warranty. And warranty policies play a very important role in product marketing. In this paper, we suggest the optimal warranty policy for free extended two-phase warranty. To determine the optimal warranty period, we adopt the expected profit per unit product. So, the expressions for the total expected cost, the sale price and the expected profit per unit product from the manufacturer's point of view are derived. Also, we discuss the optimal warranty period and the numerical examples are provided to illustrate the proposed the warranty policy.

In this paper, we consider the periodic preventive maintenance model for a repairable system following the expiration of replacement-repair warranty. Under this preventive maintenance model, we derive the expressions for the expected cycle length, the expected total cost and the expected cost rate per unit time. Also, we determine the optimal preventive maintenance period and the optimal preventive maintenance number by minimizing the expected cost rate per unit time. Finally, the optimal periodic preventive maintenance policy is given for Weibull distribution case.
