Life-of-Type Modellen: Mogelijke Toepassingen en Informatiebehoefte (Life-of-Type Models: Possible Applications and Necessary Input-Data)

摘要

The applicability of Life-Of-Type models (LOT-models) for Army materiel is investigated. The possible uses of two types of LOT-models are reported. Firstly, the possible applications of a LOT-optimization-model are described. In an earlier stage, such a model has been developed for the optimization of the Life-of-Type of a group of transport vehicles. It appears that the use of such models is limited to only a few types of army materiel. Secondly, the possible uses of a LOT-evaluation-model are described. With this type of model, the effects of a prolongation of the Life-of-Type can be investigated. It appears that these models have a more general field of application. In the final section of the document, the input-data necessary for the models are described.
