The Armed Forces of the Republic of China have a large
number of motor vehicles for administrative use. The vehicles
were acquired from different sources in different years. In
general, the vehicles are old in age. The Armed Forces have
established a plant to manufacture vehicles for replacement.
Because the volume of production was low, the unit cost tended
to be high. The private industry motor vehicles were also
produced in an inefficient manner as compared to those produced
in the United States. A logical alternative to reduce
the cost is to combine the total demand and try to seek more
efficient production. Unlike the private market, military
vehicle replacement decisions are centralized. The rate of
replacement largely determines the number of vehicles required
by the military. To help the decision maker to gain some insight
on the optimal lifetime of a motor vehicle, a stochastic
model is suggested in the paper.
