June 10, 2008 - IQPC 4th Annual Warranty Management Summit September 15-18

Dr. Vadim Kozyrkov has been chosen to lecture at the IQPC 4th Annual Warranty Management Summit September 15-18. Dr. Kozyrkov will discuss the following issues that affect the warranty market.

Senior management failure to recognize the amount of impact warranty management brings on financial performance. While traditional manufacturers relegate Warranty to low priority – whether in terms of resource allocation, influence, training, today’s best in class companies are investing in hiring full time staff to conduct statistical analysis of warranty data in search of opportunities for operational cost reduction or product improvement.

Modern warranty requires a very systematic view, and action requires a higher level of mathematics. This workshop will illustrate the impact of warranty and quality on a company’s financial reporting and management. By attending this session, participants can leverage warranty data to make better financial and operational decisions.

Participants who attend will benefit from this workshop by understanding:
  • Accurately forecast warranty cost to protect against financial risk and optimize financial reporting based on current models and claims.
  • Quantify the impact of increased product quality on warranty costs
  • Minimize the cycle time between problem identification and product design correction
  • Leverage data mining from various customer touch points to identify early warning signs
  • Re-engineer internal processes for faster movement of critical information
  • Obtain senior management buy-in for increased resources for warranty improvement
  • Make better, data-driven financial decisions based on warranty information

April 1, 2008 - Warranty Chain Management Successes

“We are very pleased with our showing at the 2008 Warranty Chain Management conference. We had significant traffic at our booth and a high level of interest in our core products.” Doug Bukaty, Aculocity’s Vice President of Sales said. “We knew there would be interest in our Acu-FAST tool with Dr. Kozyrkov lecturing for 3 hours on warranty statistics. However, we didn’t expect our fraud prevention product On-Site Tech to generate such interest since we are in the early stages of that products life cycle.” Bukaty also went on to say, “Any system that can dramatically reduce the level of fraudulent warranty claims as well as improve the OEM service level and brand strength is a win for numerous functions within an organization.”
