An availability model for the evaluation of equipment alternatives
Tóm tắt
An availability based model for the evaluation of alternatives in equipment replacement analysis is presented. The expected annual cost of an equipment alternative is developed as a function of availability. The least cost alternative for the desired availability is identified from cost vs. availability curves of the alternatives. A simulation approach is used to determine the availability of existing equipment. The methodology is applied to the evaluation of alternate equipment for the analysis of serum samples in a hospital laboratory.
