This article is concerned with cost analysis in product warranty policy. The warranty cost can be different according to warranty rate and warranty renewal policy. In this paper the stepdown warranty is used. The warranty renewal policy is considered when the warranty is received upon free replacement period as item failing. Assuming the non repairable item as one item is sold, investigated manufacturer's cost in stepdown warranty policy. Also manufacturer's cost is calculated in the free replacement. pro-rata. hybrid policy. Numerical example is given over Weibull time to failure distribution, comparing stepdown warranty policy with free replacement, pro-rata, hybrid one in the manufacturer's point of view. The sensitivity analysis of warranty cost according to the number of warranty period step is included.

This paper is concerned with cost analysis and determination of warranty period in a stepdown warranty policy. Manufacturer's warranty cost is analyzed for nonrepairable item, where the warranty is assumed to be renewed at any failure within the warranty period. It is shown that from this result in free replacement policy, pro-rata policy and hybrid policy can be easily calculated. The method of determining optimal warranty period is also explored.

The electronics industry is fast growing segment of manufacturing and service industries. It is important that the manufacturer develops a product with adequate life cycle, high quality, and low failure rate in the specified time period. Environmental Stress Screening(ESS) and burn-in are widely used in the electronic industry to assist in the elimination of early failure. In this research, we construct optimal cost model of combined ESS and burn-in under various warranty policy and establish optimal testing times for given environments. Also we conduct sensitivity analysis on various parameter. The results of this study are summarized as follows. Comparing free warranty policy to rebate warranty policy, optimal ESS time is longer under free warranty policy, and optimal burn-in time is longer under rebate warranty policy. Free warranty policy higher than rebate warranty policy in total cost.

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.

Three types of warranty policies are considered. They are (1) free warranty policy for repairable products, (2) free warranty policy for nonrepairable products, and (3) rebate warranty policy. Under each warranty policy, a single sampling attribute plan with non-destructive testing is considered. A sampling plan is characterized by the sample size and the acceptance number. For each case, characteristics of an optimum sampling plan are discussed and determined, which minimize the warranty cost and the corresponding quality control cost within the assigned producer's risk and consumer's risk.

After the buyer purchases the product, the seller's role does not end. If the product fails to function properly before the end of the warranty period, the seller is responsible for its repair or replacement under the seller's warranty policy. There are two common types of warranty policies: the free replacement warranty and the rebate warranty. Under the free replacement warranty policy, replacement or repairs during the warranty period are provided by the seller free of charge to the buyer. Under the rebate warranty policy, a failed item is replaced by a new one or is repaired at a cost to the age of the failed item. The rebate warranty is most often used for items such as a battery or an automobile tire which wear out and must be replaced at failure. This paper proposes a easy way of estimating the warranty cost under the free replacement warranty policy assuming an exponential product failure function on repairable products.

This article suggests the costs analysis of resumer's view under the stepdown warranty is renewd whenever a failure occurs in the warranty period. And the general warranty policy is showed such as free replacement policy prorata warranty policy, hybrid warranty policy. In this respect case, the cost of consumer is also calculated. In order to study the cost analysis of consumer. "RENEWAL THEORY" is introduced and the cost of consumer is calculated.alculated.

In the paper, we consider two-dimensional warranty policy with failure times and repair times. The failure times are considered within the warranty period and the repair times are considered within the repair time limit. Under the renewable warranty policy and non-renewable warranty policy, we consider the number of warranty services in the censored area by warranty period and repair time limit to conduct warranty cost analysis. We investigate the field data to check their dependency and implement our proposed approaches to conduct warranty cost analysis using the parametric methods. Numerical examples are discussed to demonstrate the applicability of the methodologies and results based on the proposed approach in the paper.

This paper develops a periodic preventive maintenance(PM) policy following the expiration of warranty. Two types of warranty are considered: renewing warranty and non-renewing warranty. Also, we consider the situation where each PM cost is an increasing function of the PM effect. We determine the optimal number of PM's before replacing the system by a new one and the optimal length of period for the periodic PM following the expiration of warranty. Explicit solutions to determine the optimal periodic PM are presented for the Weibull distribution case.
