| Tiivistelmä: | Many products carry a warranty that offers protection for the consumer against low quality. These warranties are often two dimensional. This paper considers the problem of assessing the size of a reserveneeded by the manufacturer to meet future claims for such a two-dimensional warranty. To do this, a class of failure models that describe failure by two scales - time and mileage, for example - must be developed. The first half of the paper is devoted to this development. Then the warranty reserve problem is considered in more detail. The authors propose a decision- theoretic solution, making use of the newly developed reliability model. |
