- 3.Silicon Valley Transport Commission (SVTC) has a fleet of maintenance vehicles that includes cars, vans, and trucks. SVTC is currently evaluating four different approaches to help them maintain their fleet of cars and vans efficiently at the lowest possible cost. Their options are: (1) No preventive maintenance at all and repair vehicle components when they fail; (2) Take oil samples at regular intervals and perform whatever preventive maintenance is indicated by the oil analysis; (3) Perform an oil change on a regular basis on each vehicle and perform repairs when needed; (4) perform oil changes at regular intervals, take oil samples regularly, and perform maintenance repairs as indicated by the sample analysis. Option #1 costs nothing to implement and results in two possible outcomes: There is a .10 probability that a defective component will occur, requiring emergency maintenance at a cost of $1,200, or there is a chance that no defects will occur and no maintenance will be…arrow_forwardA contractor has one crane available at four different building sites at which work has just been completed.
