Abstract

When repairable items sold under warranty fail, the rectification action taken by the manufacturer can be either a repair or a replacement. In this paper a new repair–replacement strategy is proposed for the manufacturer when the items are sold with a non-renewing free replacement warranty policy. The strategy involves splitting the warranty period into two intervals where only repairs are carried out, separated by a third interval with at most one replacement.
