#180582 - Failures cost more than just the cost of repair! Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Per Westermark said:
But before you sell something, you must think about your potential warranty costs. Remember that "warranty cost" is not just the cost of repairs: if your product gets a reputation for frequent failures (ie, unreliability), that is very expensive to fix! And, if one of your products gets a reputation for unreliability, that can soon give your entire company a bad reputaion - which is even more expensive to fix! Just look at the recent Toyota problems...!! |
