As warranty chains have become more self-service oriented and complex, it makes them more vulnerable to fraud and/or unentitled usage. The Systems Group at IBM implemented a process and set of tools to help prevent fraud in its warranty chain when parts are dispatched directly to customer sites for customers that have “self-service” support options.

This session will explore what was implemented and how. A big part of our approach was to make the process seamless and invisible to the customer, and require minimal effort on the part of IBM support people involved in the process. This talk will focus on how we did that. In addition, we will cover some of the benefits seen and lessons learned. If you are concerned about fraud in the warranty chain and are interested in approaches to preventing it, this presentation will give a good overview of one approach.

Mario Franzone has 39 years of industry experience with IBM and Texas Instruments as a senior manager in the Supply Chain and Warranty Chain departments. His areas of expertise include: Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineer, Procurement Engineer, Quality Engineering, Warranty Operations.

Whether your company offers warranties; compliance, technology, or repair services; support systems, or call center services, you will find value in this unique event. New sessions are being added to the agenda daily, so stay tuned to the event's website for regular updates.
