This paper addresses a discrete-event simulation model, which estimates the operational availability and maintenance cost of a vehicle fleet throughout complete life cycle, under a certain maintenance scenario. The model gives all necessary parameters to compute the total vehicle life cycle cost, linking reliability, operational tempo and maintenance scenario with vehicle acquisition and maintenance costs. Based on simulation results one can make cost-effective decision relative to buying adequate vehicles and organizing proper fleet maintenance, which gives required operational availability at lowest costs. In this work we have analyzed application of our model on an example – a light tactical vehicle fleet. info:eu-repo/semantics/review Simulation Based Life-Cycle Analysis Of a Vehicle Fleet Keywords: vehicle, availability, maintenance, cost, simulation. application/pdf 306880 bytes 2015 Đokić, Ivan Lazić, Ljubomir Pavlović, Aleksandra Avdić, Aldina
