Renewal Methods of Construction Machinery According to Technical and Economic Indicators

Abstract:

This article presents the results of an investigation for a new method to form sets of construction machinery. The model for optimizing the set of construction machinery implies the possibility to consider the following: the influence of the quality of operation onto the technical state of the machinery, which is characterized by the readiness factor; costs and reliability of the purchased equipment, new and the used one; influence of capital overhauls; selling machinery and purchasing new one at a higher price; decommissioning old equipment; accompanying economical losses, which is a concealed form of insuring against insufficient reliability of the equipment; optimizing the service life along several criteria – minimum investment, maximum profit, specified level of reliability, period of repayment. This method for optimizing the age structure of the construction machinery set is based on using the method of linear programming. Practical recommendations are also included.
