Chapter 7 – Replacement Analysis
1) Do you suppose that JBHT makes replacement decisions for its equipment on an item-by-item level
or for a fleet of equipment? What might be some of the advantages and disadvantages to
replacement at the fleet level?
2) What factors might influence the useful life of the JBHT equipment?
3) Why use miles instead of years (time) as a parameter for replacement?
4) How might safety factor into the replacement analysis decision?
