Optimal allocation pattern for the maintenance of land vehicles (Case Study: Domestic produced Light Vehicles)

Maintenance budget is the most effective factor in the mobility and timely provision of categories and it is tool that if not used properly or carefully prepared and adjusted will cause many problems in carrying out the missions of the organization. This research has provided a pattern for the optimal maintenance budget assignment of the police land vehicles.

This research is applied in terms of purpose and exploratory in terms of nature. The Delphi method was used to identify the components and indicators of the model and the best-worst method (BWM) was used by Lingo software to calculate the weights of the components and indicators (importance factor). The reliability of the instrument was confirmed based on the compatibility rate, which was less than 0.1.

Data analysis led to the identification of seven components of the type of police unit with a weight of 0.480, vehicle measurement with a weight of 0.118, regional climate with a weight of 0.111, vehicle model with a weight of 0.099, quality of maintenance in the police category with a weight of 0.094, type of disciplinary zone with a weight of 0.083 and the economy of the region with a weight of 0.015 plus 30 indexes.

Considering the components of unit type, vehicle navigation and regions climate, is placed in the first to third ranks of importance and economies of the regions in the lowest priority, it is worthwhile adminstration of planning and maintenance in maintenance funds assignment for operational categories, for vehicles with higher measurement and areas with hot and humid climates, consider higher budget respect to the other units.
