Evaluation of Product Reliability during Warranty

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper deals with the possibility of assessing product reliability in the case a producer has no data about the behavior of products in service, and the only available thing is the information on warranty claims. The suggested method of reliability assessment utilizes the information on the number of products manufactured, the date when their service started, and the number of claimed products during a warranty period. An example of method practical application is presented too.
