摘要: The material in this Circular is provided to help professional fleet managers analyze various financial acquisition choices and their impacts on budget, total costs, and fleet upgrade factors. The information presented should be applied following a complete analysis to determine the level and duration of equipment needs. The best acquisition choices for a specific fleet and geographic location at any given time may vary from the examples shown in this document--examples in this Circular are presented only for demonstration purposes. Some governmental and commercial fleets are supported by funds generated from a transfer or rental arrangement between field and fleet operations. This steady income stream facilitates the planned replacement of fleet units. However, many fleet operations depend on funds allocated to equipment replacement by elements that are organizationally senior to fleet operations. In this situation, fleet allocations must compete with allocations necessary for operations and other capital asset projects. Often, equipment replacement budgets are subject to feast or famine conditions. Such surges and lags result in replacements that are less than ideal and that bring associated inefficiencies and increased fleet operating costs. Optimizing fleet replacement in a fiscal environment in which different elements are routinely competing for budget share is a challenge routinely addressed by many fleet managers. This review of fleet procurement alternatives is intended to provide background information for optimizing the positive impact of funds available. This information is particularly applicable when the available capital budget varies due to conditions outside the control of the fleet manager.
