This model is designed to:
1. Document the general parameters, priorities and specific requirements for a proposed Overland Expedition Vehicle (OEV).
2. Measure candidate OEVs against the general parameters, priorities and specific requirements.
3. Compare candidate OEVs based on total criteria match scores
By documenting the general parameters, priorities and specific requirements for a proposed Overland Expedition Vehicle (OEV) it is possible to more effectively ane effeciently evaluate potential OEV candidates.
In addition, this model is intended to improve communication between potential OEV owners and their dreams, fabricators, subcontractors and manufacturers. By clearly defining requirements it is much easier to match requirements with potential solutions.
