Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) has only had three completed warranty programs, and data on current programs will not be complete until the early 1980s. This paper explores the reliability improvement warranty (RIW) concept by evaluating commercial analogs, past DOD warranty experience, and the current tri-service RIW trial. Examination of the completed programs does not show conclusive evidence that warranties were a major factor in observed improvement, but certain observations regarding reliability were apparent: (1) Modification after testing is needed to take advantage of field experience and can be promoted without a warranty. (2) Scheduling should be flexible to allow incorporation of test data in subsequent development and production. (3) The contractor should be involved in initial overhaul and repair. (4) RIWs should not be applied to programs subject to extreme quantity or utilization uncertainty. The authors point out that current RIW trials have terms and penalties that vary widely and diminish the likelihood that they will yield conclusive evidence on the value of warranties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the Reliability Improvement Warranty (RIW). Consumer and commercial warranty experience does not alone justify optimistic expectations for RIWs; the effect of RIWs in completed Department of Defense (DOD) programs is inconclusive; and as a result of inadequate research design the expectation of drawing meaningful conclusions from the ongoing RIW experiment may be over-optimistic. Examination of completed RIW programs, however, suggests the importance of (1) modification after operational use or testing, (2) schedule flexibility, (3) contractor involvement in initial overhaul and repair, and (4) avoidance of RIWs in programs subject to extreme quantity or utilization uncertainty. The design of the DOD's ongoing RIW experiment can be improved by (1) reducing the variation in contractual terms, (2) developing better controlled conditions, and (3) establishing defined limits for the experiment. In addition, the DOD must recognize the multiple objectives of the RIW and establish priority among them to facilitate evaluation.
