Abstract

A simple definition of the economic life of plant is used to derive working rules for plant replacement and repair which are computer compatible and easy to apply. The general case is that of routine replacement which is shown to be a function of the changing pattern of repairs with age. Standby requirements, redundancy and obsolescence are considered. The effect of inflation is discussed and a need to bring all costs to a common price level is demonstrated.
