CRITERIA FOR REPAIR VS. DISCARD DECISIONS
Abstract
The study wax directed toward four primary objectives: (1) identification and analysis of the points in the life cycle where the repair/ discard decision should be considered; (2) identification analysis of major economic criteris; (3) development of screening rules for guiding those who make the decisions; and (4) identification and analysis of other decisions affecting the choice of repair or discard. (1) items entering or entered in the military supply system should be subjected to a repair/discard decision analysis using a screening process which rapidly and at nominal cost either indicates the decision or defers the decision to a point of greater vantage by initially favoring repair, and calls for an exhaustive economic analysis only when significant benefit appears likely; and (2) to achieve a more optimum balance of economic support without sacrificing military effectiveness or operational readiness, appropriate repair/discard decisions must be integrated with certain other related decisions.
