Warranty Costs Assessment for Automotive Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article deals with current problems of warranty costs in automotive applications. The two-dimensional warranty widely used in automotive industry is presented. The relationship between warranty costs and product reliability is also presented. The article analyses problems with estimation of a number of failure occurrence over a warranty period and estimation of costs related to repair failures. The mathematical model enables to predict warranty costs for two-dimensional warranty is presented. The article also deals with problems of estimation of an instant of warranty period expiration and demonstrates its estimation on an example of a vehicle.
