Abstract
In an uncertain economic decision environment, our knowledge about the defender’s remaining life and its cash flow information usually consist of a lot of vagueness. To describe a planning horizon which may be implicitly forecasted from past incomplete information, a linguistic description like ‘approximately between 8 and 10 years’ is often used. Using fuzzy equivalent uniform annual cash flow analysis, a fuzzy replacement analysis for two operating systems is handled in this chapter.
