Warranty Cost Analysis: On Modelling Warranty Repairs

摘要：

This article revisits modelling of warranty costs from two perspectives: i) allowing for perfect repairs with non-zero repair times based on which the cost function is defined; ii) incorporating imperfect warranty repairs based on accelerated probability distributions. For i), the alternating renewal process is used to model operating and non-zero repair times under both non-renewing and renewing free replacement warranty policies. The quasi-renewal process is applied in ii) under non-renewing free replacement policy. We conclude with a discussion on new directions for future research.
