Optimization of Vehicle Maintenance Concept Using Simulation
Abstract: This paper addresses a discrete-event simulation model, which estimates the operational availability and maintenance cost of a vehicle fleet throughout complete life cycle, under a variety of acquisition requirements, operational tempos, and maintenance scenarios. Based on simulation results one can make cost-effective decision relative to buying adequate vehicles and organizing proper fleet maintenance. In this work we have analyzed application of our model on an example - finding potential vehicles, capable of fulfilling requirements, under different maintenance conditions and working within a set of operational tempos.
