We don’t include “Extended Warranty” in our discussion as this is really a service contract…
Part costs – net of chargebacks to suppliers
Warranty Terms: tiered offerings… e.g. length of coverage, on-site vs depot, etc.Product Reliability: costs = f(poor quality) and designing for ease of maintenance
For high-volume producers, return of defective parts from customers is not always an option…
Key Competence and Positioning The core of our business comprises innovative software solutions for quality, production and compliance management. We generate over 50% of our turnover with software licencing and maintenance. As a rule, these software services are further enhanced with project-related services, such as process consulting, software implementation on the customers' premises, training courses and the solution-oriented integration in company-wide IT systems, from the SAP system to process or machine control. IBS has collected a great deal of expertise in these areas over more than 25 years.
