Description

The paper discusses the problem of planning the allocation of sewage treatment systems to the Naval Fleet. It is assumed that the obsolescence or deterioration process of a ship is a semi-Markov process. For the special case of deterministic deterioration, the total discounted cost of revamping a group of ships is determined as a function of the time horizon chosen to do so. This function is graphed for a set of representative cost factors. Finally, the semi-Markov and Markov models are discussed with a view towards a future simulation study.
