An assessment of the useful life of the M151A1/A2 1/4 ton truck has been carried out. The life of the truck was determined by evaluating the mileage/years at which the average system cost (costs associated with the acquisition, shipping and maintenance of the truck) is minimized (economic life). In addition, an evaluation of the truck's Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) characteristics over the economic life span was made. The study was based on the performance of 8,345 M151A1 1/4 ton utility trucks reported in the Army Integrated Equipment Record Maintenance Management System (TAERS) and on the performance of 1,348 M151A1 and 385 M151A2 1/4 ton utility trucks reported in the Sample Data Collection (SDC) system. Based on the study results, it was recommended that the life of the 1/4 ton truck (in years) be extended and a mileage life be established. (Author)
