Abstract
This paper discusses the use of data processing to pinpoint the causes of component failure and thereby help maintenance supervisors do a more accurate job of determining component durability and cost, and in writing truck/trailer specifications. Results of on-the-spot evaluation of alternator failures on 206 trucks are analyzed. Also listed are several design deficiencies that must be corrected at O.E.M. level to extend alternator life.
