In today's global environment, technology is constantly evolving. Being able to stay up-to-date with the very latest technological advances can be extremely hard to accomplish. As a result of these changes and developments in technology, which often come unexpectedly, consumers are frequently tempted to update their devices to the very latest model. The result is that the life cycle of a product is becoming shorter and shorter than before. Manufacturers attempt to respond to consumers' concerns involving environmental issues as well as the more governmentally stringent environmental legislations by establishing facilities which include the minimization of the totality of waste relocated to landfills by recovering materials and components from returned, or End-Of-Life products and reuse them to build a remanufactured product, and/ or novel components. With the rapid growth of interest in remanufactured products' market, offering warranty for remanufactured products and components is becoming a necessity for remanufacturer in order to meet customers' requirement and as a marketing mechanism. During that process, maintenance policies are of great importance in order to reduce the warranty cost on the remanufacturer. In this paper, an optimization simulation model for remanufactured items sold with one-dimensional non-renewing money-back guarantee (MBG) warranty policy is proposed from the view of remanufacturer, in which, an End-Of-Life product is subjected to upgrade action at the end of its past life and during the warranty period, preventive maintenance actions are carried out when the remaining life of the product reaches a prespecified value so that the remanufacturer's expected profit can be maximized. Finally, a numerical example and design of experiment analysis are provided to demonstrate the proposed approach.

“…Since then, a huge number of PM models and optimization methods have been introduced with the aim of reducing failures, for safety reasons, and unplanned downtime, for economic reasons (see Wang 2002 for a survey). For example, the so-called 'age-replacement' models (a very well-known class of PM models, see for example Barlow and Hunter, 1960) consider that a component is preventively maintained at some predetermined age A or repaired at failure, whichever comes first (Figure 1, middle).…”

To cite this version:Enrico Zio, Michele Compare.Evaluating maintenance policies by quantitative modeling and analysis.Reliability Abstract: The growing importance of maintenance in the evolving industrial scenario and the technological advancements of the recent years have yielded the development of modern maintenance strategies such as the Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) and the Predictive Maintenance (PrM). In practice, assessing whether these strategies really improve the maintenance performance becomes a fundamental issue. In the present work, this is addressed with reference to an example concerning the stochastic crack growth of a generic mechanical component subject to fatigue degradation. It is shown that modeling and analysis provide information useful for setting a maintenance policy.

“…Therefore, maintenance activities are essential to prevent system deterioration and failure, or if complete prevention is not possible, to minimize the adverse impact of their occurrences [1,2]. If the system is non-repairable, it will be replaced upon failure, while most repairable systems can be restored to a functioning state through maintenance.…”

“…If the system is non-repairable, it will be replaced upon failure, while most repairable systems can be restored to a functioning state through maintenance. Replacement can be considered as perfect maintenance [2]. Generally, maintenance activities can be classified into two categories: corrective (un-planed), and preventive (planned) [3,4].…”
