A COMPUTER-AIDED OPERATION DESIGNED TO HELP FLEET MANAGERS DECIDE WHETHER TO REPLACE A VEHICLE OR TO MAKE IT DO FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
Abstract
THIS METHOD WILL SHOW, ON A REGULAR BASIS, WHETHER REPLACEMENT OR RETENTION IS RECOMMENDED, WHAT COST PENALTIES THE CITY WILL INCUR IF IT RETAINS A VEHICLE THAT OUGHT TO BE REPLACED OR REPLACES A VEHICLE THAT OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN RETAINED. THE FIRST OF THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS ALLOWS THE LINE OFFICIAL, SAY THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, TO MAKE A CONCRETE RECOMMENDATION. THE SECOND ALLOWS THE COUNCIL TO DECIDE WHETHER IT CAN JUSTIFY A CAPITAL EXPENDITURE IN THE CURRENT BUDGET. THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, A PROJECT LEADER'S MANUAL FOR IMPLEMENTING THE SYSTEM, A FLEET MANAGER'S MANUAL WHICH INTERPRETS THE PROGRAM, A DATA PROCESSING USER'S GUIDE WHICH DESCRIBES THE PROGRAMS IN DETAIL, AND A MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROGRAMS. FOR A REPRINT OF THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, REFER TO NCJ-14686.
