Abstract: |
Issues of fraud in the service industry have been well examined in recent literature. One area that has not received significant attention is issues related to fraud detection and prevention in the area of remanufactured product warranty. Fraud may arise from many sources, each posing unique problems. This paper limits its focus to the issue of remanufactured product warranty frauds arising from the customer, more specifically those related to the consumer electronics remanufacturing sector. The paper reviews strategies available to the remanufacturer to manage such fraud. A case example is considered, where a discrete event simulation model is used to examine how a sensor-embedded product may be used in mitigating part substitution fraud. The case example is shown to preemptively identify and mitigate frauds. The methodology could be used in practice to deter these and other types of fraud. |
