This paper discusses an optimal burn-in procedure to minimize total costs based on the assumption that the failure rate pattern follows a bimodal mixed Weibull distribution. The procedure will consider warranty period as a factor of the total expected bum-in cost. A cost model is formulated to find the optimal burn-in time that minimizes the expected burn-in cost. Conditional reliability for warranty period will be discussed. An illustrative example is included to show how to use the cost model in practice.

Recently, an extended warranty of a system following the expiration of the basic warranty is becoming increasingly popular to the user. In this respect, we suggest a replacement model following the expiration of extended warranty with minimal repair warranty from the user's point of view in this paper. Under extended warranty, the failed system is minimally repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to the user during the original extended warranty period. As a criterion of the optimality, we utilize the expected cost rate per unit time during the life cycle from the user's perspective and suggest the optimal replacement period after extended warranty. Finally, a few numerical examples are given for illustrative purpose.

In general, a software fault detection phenonenon is described by a software reliability model based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process(NHPP). In this paper, we propose a software reliability growth model considering the differences of the software environments in both the testing phase and the operational phase. Also, we consider the problem of determining the optimal release time and the optimal warranty period that minimize the total expected software cost which takes account of periodic software maintenance(e.g. patch, update, etc). Finally, we analyze the sensitivity of the optimal release time and warranty period based on the fault data observed in the actual testing process.

The electronics industry is fast growing segment of manufacturing and service industries. It is important that the manufacturer develops a product with adequate life cycle, high quality, and low failure rate in the specified time period. Environmental Stress Screening(ESS) and burn-in are widely used in the electronic industry to assist in the elimination of early failure. In this research, we construct optimal cost model of combined ESS and burn-in under various warranty policy and establish optimal testing times for given environments. Also we conduct sensitivity analysis on various parameter. The results of this study are summarized as follows. Comparing free warranty policy to rebate warranty policy, optimal ESS time is longer under free warranty policy, and optimal burn-in time is longer under rebate warranty policy. Free warranty policy higher than rebate warranty policy in total cost.

본 연구에서는 소프트웨어 제품을 개발하는 과정에서 보증기간을 고려하여 사용자에게 인도하는 시기를 결정하는 방출시기에 관한 모형의 비교 연구이다. 실증 비교 결과 지수화 소프트웨어 신뢰성장모형에서는 보증기간이 증가함에 따라 초기에는 최적방출시기가 증가했으나 점차 거의 유사한 방출시기를 나타내고 있으며 이와 반대로 불완전한 디버깅 소프트웨어 신뢰성장 모형에서는 초기에는 최적방출시기가 감소하였으나 보증기간이 길수록 소폭 증가하는 패턴을 보이고 있으며 제안된 극값모형은 점차적으로 증가하는 형태를 가진다는 결론을 도출 할 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과를 통하여 소프트웨어 개발자들은 보증기간과 방출최적시기의 관계를 파악함으로서 소프트웨어 개발 시 사전정보로 활용 할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

In this paper, we consider the optimal replacement policies following the expiration of the combination warranty. The combination warranty can be divided into the renewing combination warranty and the non-renewing combination warranty. The criterion used to determine the optimal replacement period is the overall value function based on the expected cost and the expected downtime. Thus, we obtain the expected cost rate per unit time and the expected downtime per unit time for our model. And then the overall value function suggested by Jiagn and Ji(2002) is applied to obtain the optimal replacement period. The numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.

This paper considers a Bayesian approach to determine an optimal replacement policy for a repairable system with warranty period. The mathematical formula of the expected cost rate per unit time is obtained for two cases : RFRW(renewing free-replacement warranty) and RPRW(renewing pro-rata warranty). When the failure time is Weibull distribution with uncertain parameters, a Bayesian approach is established to formally express and update the uncertain parameters for determining an optimal replacement policy. Some numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.

Under the two-phase warranty, the warranty period is divided into two intervals, one of which is for renewing replacement warranty, and the other is for minimal repair warranty. Jung^[13] discusses the two types of extended two-phase warranty models. In this paper, we suggest the replacement model after the extended two-phase warranty that has been proposed by Jung^[13]. To determine the optimal replacement policy, we adopt the expected cost rate per unit time. So, the expressions for the total expected cost, the expected length of the cycle and the expected cost rate per unit time from the user's point of view are derived. Also, we discuss the optimal replacement policy and the uniqueness of the solution for the optimization. Furthermore, the numerical examples are provided to illustrate the proposed the replacement model.

최근에 기본보증이 종료된 이후에 주어지는 시스템의 추가보증에 대한 사용자의 관심이 증가되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사용자 측면에서 비재생보증 하에서의 이단계 보전정책을 제안하였다. 이단계 보전정책의 첫 번째 단계에서는 추가보증을 구입할 것인지의 여부를 결정하고, 두 번째 단계에서는 보증이 종료된 이후의 최적의 교체 주기를 결정한다. 이때, 추가보증 동안에 발생된 시스템의 고장에 대해서는 판매자에 의해서 무료로 최소수리가 이루어진다. 최적의 이단계 보전정책을 결정하기 위해서 사용자 측면에서 기대비용을 사용하였으며, 끝으로 시스템의 고장시간이 와이블 분포를 따를 때 수치적 예를 통하여 제안된 이단계 보전정책을 설명하였다.
