Abstract
Describes the advantages of combining a Windows(TM) database package and a Visual Basic(TM) program for graphical analysis of machine replacement problems. The database allows the regular and easy updating of the cost elements associated with the purchase, operation and disposal of a machine. The Visual Basic(TM) program provides a simple user interface, requiring only the use of a "mouse" for input, program control, and graphical analysis of output. The program has easy access to appropriate database, spreadsheet and word-processing packages. Illustrates the use of the program in considering the graphical analysis of the replacement of an ambulance fleet.
