A STUDY TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEFINING EARTHMOVING VEHICLE SYSTEMS BY ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES

THE FEASIBILITY OF DEFINING EARTHMOVING VEHICLE SYSTEMS BY ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED. THE BASIC METHODOLOGY AND SKELETAL COMPUTER PROGRAM HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TO DETERMINE THE COST/EFFECTIVENESS ADVANTAGES OF SPECIAL EQUIPMENT SYSTEMS SUCH AS THOSE CONSISTING OF MULTIPURPOSE, MULTIFUNCTION VEHICLES. THE COMPUTER PROGRAM DEVELOPED HAS VERIFIED THE ANALYTICAL APPROACH BY STRUCTURING A HYPOTHETICAL VEHICLE SYSTEM WHOSE COST FOR PERFORMING A SPECIFIC AIRFIELD CONSTRUCTION WAS SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN THE COST INCURRED BY EACH OF THREE SPECIFIED ENGINEER COMBAT BATTALIONS. /AUTHOR/
