Abstract

Current problems in justifying multimachine systems are analyzed and an integrated framework is developed in which both strategic and tactical considerations are included. At the strategic level the tools for project selection are reviewed, followed by the economic analysis normally required for these systems. Special tools, notably simulation, are illustrated through an example situation.
