Analysis of Preventive Maintenance Policies for Navy Transportation Equipment

Abstract

Four equipment maintenance policies are compared in terms of total operating cost, reliability, and operational readiness of vehicles and related transportation equipment. The four policies compared are scheduled preventive maintenance service, limited preventive maintenance service, breakdown maintenance service, and manufacturer's prescribed preventive maintenance. A digital computer program was used to expedite the analysis and provide cost and performance data. 12 vehicle classes were analyzed to determine effectiveness of the four maintenance policies.
