4th Annual Warranty Management Summit
September 15-17, 2008 Renaissance Atlanta Hotel, Atlanta, GA

OPI Presentation
Pre-Conference Workshop: Monday, September 15, 2008 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Forecasting and Maximizing Parts Recovery from Warranty Returns

Be it a like-kind exchange transaction, or a loaner return, or a recall, or a return of a non-repairable for analysis, or a warranty consignment return, a supplier must focus its effort on efficiently and effectively managing the return. Once material is returned, there must be a systemic effort to squeeze every last cent out of them.

This workshop will discuss the “block and tackle” efforts that will enable you to reduce the “float’ of impaired materials by 80% within a two year period and in turn minimize warranty costs and maintain high levels of customer fill rates.

Participants will learn how to:

Organize to maximize returns on a timely basis

Make it customer friendly to return materials

Reward and “punish” customers for returning materials

Deal with the challenges of returns from foreign sites

Forecast the rate of return for different transaction types

Financially report the “canning” of returns

Note the different conditions and configuration that must be captured when reusing recovered parts

How you will benefit from this workshop:

Improve forecast accuracy of material warranty expenses
Reduce overall asset investment in support of warranty program
Minimize warranty expenses
Minimize out-of-period customer supplemental billings for returns
