Random replacement policies to sustain the post-warranty reliability

Lijun Shang et al.

Summary: The study aims to design a limited number of random working cycles as warranty terms and propose two types of warranties to ensure product reliability during the warranty period. The authors also investigate two random maintenance policies, random replacement first and random replacement last, to sustain post-warranty reliability. By analyzing numerical experiments, the study shows that the warranty cost can be controlled by limiting the number of random working cycles, and the cost rate can be reduced by designing a greater warranty limit.

Risk Control of Mission-Critical Systems: Abort Decision-Makings Integrating Health and Age Conditions

Li Yang et al.

Summary: This article explores how to design mission abort policies in order to balance the possibility of mission success and system survivability in a mission environment. By considering the degradation degree of monitored health features and system age, operators can abort the mission at early system ages if the degradation reaches a preset control limit. The performance of some heuristic abort policies is analyzed for comparison. The contribution of this article lies in scheduling mission abort plans that utilize both condition monitoring and age information, which enhances the timeliness and robustness of risk control. A case study on inertial navigation systems of UAV executing line inspection missions is used to demonstrate the applicability and superiority of the proposed abort policies.

Optimal warranty policy for repairable products with a three-dimensional renewable combination warranty

Peirui Qiao et al.

Summary: This study proposes a three-dimensional warranty policy for repairable products, addressing the limitations of existing literature that mainly focuses on one-dimensional and two-dimensional policies. By developing corresponding sale price and warranty cost models, a profit optimization model is presented, aiming to maximize the expected profit from the manufacturer's perspective. A numerical example with sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the proposed warranty policy can increase manufacturer profit and reduce conflicts with consumers.

Post-Warranty Replacement Models for the Product under a Hybrid Warranty

Lijun Shang et al.

Summary: In this article, a hybrid warranty (HW) is designed from the manufacturer's point of view to ensure the reliability of products that do successive projects at random working cycles. Two post-warranty replacement models are investigated from the consumer's point of view, and a cost rate model is presented for each replacement. Numerical experiments show that introducing a limited number of failure replacements or/and random working cycles can reduce the warranty cost, and the performance of uniform post-warranty replacement is superior to customized post-warranty replacement.

A Bivariate Optimal Random Replacement Model for the Warranted Product with Job Cycles

Lijun Shang et al.

Summary: A monitoring system has been used to monitor the job cycles of products. By incorporating limited job cycles and a refund into the traditional free repair warranty, a two-dimensional free repair warranty with a refund (2DFRW-R) is proposed to guarantee product reliability. The characteristics and costs of the proposed models from the perspectives of consumers and warrantors are explored.

Age-replacement policies under age-dependent replacement costs

Shadi Sanoubar et al.

Summary: This study examines replacement policies for a stochastically deteriorating system, considering reactive or preventive replacements based on failures or scheduled replacement time. The assumption of non-decreasing replacement costs with system age leads to the development of a long-term expected cost-rate minimization model, with comparisons between different cost assumptions.

Optimal maintenance strategies for warranty products with limited repair time and limited repair number

Peng Liu et al.

Summary: Modern warranty policies often include limits on repair time and number of repairs to protect customer interests. Under a rebate warranty policy, sellers must refund customers if product failures or repair times exceed set limits. Minimal repair is done during warranty period, with post-warranty repair costs covered by customers. Optimal maintenance strategy for warranty products is proven theoretically by minimizing expected cost rate. Lemon law-protected warranty cars are used as an example to illustrate rebate warranty model.
