Life cycle cost is the total cost incurred in the life cycle of a product, including design, development, production, operation, maintenance, support and disposal. Life cycle cost analysis can help engineers to identify equipment and process selection not on the initial purchase cost but rather on the total cost. A reasonable life cycle cost model can lead to a reliable design. In this paper, several...
The relationships between quality characteristics and uncertain factors are unknown or complicated in most practical engineering optimal problems. To solve this problem a robust optimal model based on hybrid response face was proposed. The relationships between quality characteristics and uncertain factors were investigated; the hybrid response surface optimization strategy was set up to balance the...
Warranty obligations in product service involve additional costs to the manufacturers. Building diagnostic features into a product can reduce the warranty costs because of fewer visits needed by warranty service representatives (through self-guided user repairs for simple problems) and a shorter service time (diagnosing time cut short) for each failure. However, this approach increases the product...
Warranty obligations in product service involve additional costs to the manufacturers. Building diagnostic features into a product can reduce the warranty costs because of; 1) fewer visits needed by warranty service representatives (through self-guided user repairs for simple problems) and 2) shorter service times (via reduced diagnostic time) for each failure. However, this approach increases the...
