COST AND TIME MODEL OF A SIMULATED PAINTING FACILTY FOR TACTICAL VEHICLES

摘要

The purpose of this report is to provide a reference framework for economic and manufacturing process models. It illustrates the effect of several input variables on the cost and time required for repainting two widely deployed US Army tactical vehicles. This evaluation quantifies the time required and the expense of each processing segment for refurbishment of two different vehicles and the respective totals. This evaluation was performed with calculations using deterministic (fixed or averaged) input. Specialized process modeling software is generally amenable to both deterministic or stochastic (allows for probability distributions) input. The effects of overhead rate and solvent processing waste stream are considered.
