The objective of this study is to develop a warranty servicing strategy, based on imperfect and minimal repairs, that minimises the total warranty servicing cost. For pre-specified degrees of repair, the expected warranty servicing cost is minimised by optimally partitioning a two-dimensional rectangular warranty region into n disjoint subregions. We numerically illustrate the imperfect repair strategy and provide a comparison with previously studied warranty repair strategies.
