Serious Man, thank you so much for the brief explanation, it is very helpful for me.

 

Good day all;
The council from @Serious Man is very concise and beneficial. I would caution, however, that one may infer from the response that the term "warranty" (in the context of 10.20.5) may be synonymous with "service" parts and/or "PPM". Depending on the customer/supplier relationship, this may or may not be accurate.
* PPM- Most organizations I work with, for example, "warrant" the product only to be free from defect upon delivery, and not beyond. PPM in those cases (external/customer) is simply a
metric indicating what portion of supplied product met this initial criteria.
* Service parts- Most of the organizations I have worked for/with provide service product as required by the OEM. In those cases, the "service parts" are sold as part of profit
center within the organization and not provided under the auspices of any warranty.

Be well.

 

I work for Tier-1. Contractually we are obliged to compensate some replacements of our primary assembled parts during car warranty period.
First we are paid for service part used as replacement for defective primary assembled parts, whatever cause was - our fault, customer assembling or user misuse.
Later we pay for replaced primary parts, which need to be replaced including replacement costs, due to our fault or NTF.

We know our sales quantities and sales value.
We know replaced warranty quantities and cost value.
In effect we can calculate PPM and cost.

 

Hi all,

Thanks for your great explanation.
There is a question with me about warranty management. My organization is manufacturer of stamping parts which are used in OEM site and never return from filed or end user. The product only may be rejected from OEM site.
My question is that:
Does warranty requirement scope only refer to products rejected from filed/service? Or it include products rejected from OEM site?

Thanks in advance

 

Warranty starts from a moment of car purchase by user, so field/service is an only source of "warranty parts".

 

Excellent response!
