Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector Introduces "Guarantee of a Lifetime" Program.PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 1995--Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector Monday announced an increase in the standard warranty period of its entire semiconductor product portfolio to match its OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and and distributor customers' end product warranty, or to three years, whichever is greater. Previously, Motorola had warranted its semiconductor devices for one year. Motorola believes that this is the most extensive worldwide product guarantee in the semiconductor industry, based on its more than 15 billion semiconductor devices manufactured annually from a portfolio of 50,000 products. This new three-year warranty, called the Guarantee of a Lifetime, includes a comprehensive product replacement assurance from Motorola to its OEM customers and its distributors' customers. The Guarantee of a Lifetime semiconductor warranty program is effective immediately, and is being applied retroactively ret·ro·ac·tive adj. Influencing or applying to a period prior to enactment: a retroactive pay increase. [French rétroactif, from Latin to all products shipped by Motorola, or by its distributors to their customers on and after Jan. 1, 1995. The Guarantee of a Lifetime means that if Motorola's semiconductors power a telecommunication switch with a ten-year warranty period, Motorola will match the telecommunication switch product warranty period for its semiconductors used in that switch. In the same manner, an automobile with an emission-related electronics warranty requirement of Five Years/50,000 Miles is matched with Motorola's semiconductor warranty if there are Motorola semiconductors used in that automotive application. On the other hand, if an end-equipment warranty is limited to one year, Motorola's semiconductor warranty period remains three years.

"Our new warranty policy will help our customers differentiate their products and provide end customers with a sense of assurance that is unprecedented in the semiconductor industry." "The Guarantee of a Lifetime program is an extension of Motorola's Six Sigma Not to be confused with Sigma 6. Six Sigma is a set of practices originally developed by Motorola to systematically improve processes by eliminating defects.[1] A defect is defined as nonconformity of a product or service to its specifications. quality commitment to its customers," said Scott Shumway, corporate vice president and director of Quality for Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector. Additional information regarding Motorola's warranty program is included in the standard terms and conditions on Motorola's semiconductor sales documents, including its standard purchase order acknowledgment acknowledgment, in law, formal declaration or admission by a person who executed an instrument (e.g., a will or a deed) that the instrument is his. The acknowledgment is made before a court, a notary public, or any other authorized person. . Having 1994 worldwide sales of $6.9 billion, Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector is the largest U.S.-based broad-line supplier of semiconductors, with a balanced portfolio of more than 50,000 devices.
