Abstract

Due to a growing demand for the second-hand product, especially for the expensive one, the warranty and maintenance policies for such products have been studied to improve the product reliability of late. In this paper we study a periodic maintenance model for the second-hand product which is purchased by the customer at the age of $x$. When purchased, the dealer provides a warranty of a fixed length during which the product is maintained periodically to reduce the failure rate of the product and thus, to improve the reliability after each maintenance is served. If a failure occurs between two successive maintenances, only minimal repair is conducted. As for the warranty policy, we adopt free non-renewing repair action on each failure, in addition to the periodic maintenance service during the warranty period. Thus, under the given warranty policy, all the maintenance and repair costs incurred during the warranty period are charged to the dealer. For the proposed periodic maintenance scheme, we formulate a cost model to evaluate the expected total cost charged to the dealer during the warranty period and derive an optimal upgrade level of the failure rate at each maintenance to minimize the expected total warranty cost from the perspective of the dealer. We also present numerical results for an optimal upgrade level based on the proposed methods.

중고제품 특히 고가인 중고품에 대한 점증하는 수요로 인하여 그러한 제품에 대한 보증과 보전정책이 최근 제품의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해 연구되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 사용한 년 수 x에서 고객에 의해서 구입된 중고제품에 대한 주기적인 유지보수모형을 연구하였다. 구입할 때 판매자는 제품의 고장율을 줄이기 위해서 그리고 각각의 유지보수가 수행되고 난 이후에 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해서 정해진 보증기간을 제공한다. 만일 연속적인 유지보수 사이에서 고장이 일어난다면 단지 최소수리가 행해진다. 보증정책에 대해서 보증기간동안에 주기적인 유지보수 점검과 더불어 각 고장에 관해서는 무상 비재생수리를 한다. 따라서 이러한 보증정책 하에서 보증기간에 일어난 모든 유지보수와 수리비용은 판매자에게 부과된다. 제안된 주기적인 유비보수 계획에 대해서 보증기간 동안에 판매자에게 부과된 기대 총비용을 계산하기 위한 모형과 판매자의 측면에서 총기대보증비용을 최소화하기 위한 각 유지보수에서 고장율의 최적향상수준을 유도한다. 또한 제안된 방법들에 근거해서 최적향상수준에 대한 수치적인 결과를 제시한다.
