On Dogs or How to Determine When it is Uneconomical to Continue Repair.

Abstract

Several papers have been written by personnel at RAND, Hq AFLC, Logistics Management Institute, AFIT, etc, on the general question of whether it is better, economically, to repair an item to being with, or to throw it away (or cannibalize it for parts). Most of these papers have not, however, addressed the question of once repair has been started, when does it become uneconomical to continue the repair. It is the objective of this paper to show how to determine when it is uneconomical to continue repair, and to illustrate this with an actual example. (Author)
