For some years, the City of Armstrong Power Au­thority has used 4-20 mA technology to measure parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow rates, and speed of various machinery and systems installed in its generation facilities. It now plans to use the same technology to measure vibration on all of its rotating machinery with the goal of evalu­ating continuously the health of the equipment, to include friction buildup, breakdown prediction, and preventive maintenance needs. Depending upon the vendors chosen, the useful lives and an­ticipated annual net savings will vary, as reflected in the estimates shown.


Develop the linear programming model and use a spreadsheet to select the vendor(s) that offer the best opportunity economically. The city’s MARR is 5% per year and the investment limit is $1,600,000.
