Combined Two-dimensional Non-renewable Warranty Policy Analysis for Remanufactured Products

This paper considers remanufactured Sensor Embedded Products (SEPs). SEPs can deal with the uncertainty by providing information on the condition of components prior to disassembly and remanufacturing. The goal is to determine how a Two-Dimensional Warranty period for remanufactured products using the sensor information about the age and usage of each and every End-Of-Life (EOL) product on hand to meet product, component and recycled material demands while minimizing the cost associated with warranty and maximizing remanufacturer's profit. A case example is considered to illustrate the implementation and use of the methodology.
