According to sociologist this control defends civil authority from overturn and protects from military uprisings. M. Janowitz agree with some S. P.

Transporto priemonių dažymas – kariuomenės dažymo cecho efektyvumo analizė.
No full textAccording to the doctrine of Lithuanian armed forces there are some operations that have to be conducted in the wooded terrain where it is really important to maintain the factor of surprise and is easily achieved by camouflage. Because of that military battle dress uniforms and the bigger part of military equipment is camouflaged originally. However, to this day vehicles came from the suppliers in various colours and not all of them meet the tactical requirements.Modern coating technologies could prevent surfaces from corrosion and they increase the lifetime of the vehicles. Moreover, Americans have created techniques, which help to protect technique from the chemical and biological agents as well.In the late 2015s Lithuanian armed forces bought the first coating-workshop used for the military purposes. The aim is to coat vehicles’ surfaces considering to the military transport usage demands, e.g. spraying in camouflage colours or adding additional anti-corrosion layers that could increase vehicles’ lifecycle. Because of the fact that this project is new for our military, it could be that there are some challenges in the management processes, in painting processes and even in the economical planning.The main tasks of this work are to become familiar with Swedish military coating-workshop’s structure, workload and economical indicators during the traineeship. Moreover, to evaluate Lithuanian military workshop’s capabilities and adaptability in terms of Swedish experience. There is a possibility that coating-workshop does not fit the necessities or, what would be even worse, it outweighs the painting amounts. What is more, economical indicators might give opportunity to compare if this project is relevant for Lithuanian armed forces or e.g. outsourcing painting service from civilian institutions is even better. The research of ratio between paint shop‘s capabilities and painting amounts was based on Swedish armed forces experience. Annual painting amounts per spray booth were compared and the final result shows that the ratio is not that bad as expected and hypothesis that capabilities overweigh painting amounts could be rejected. Economic analysis has shown the project‘s payback period which is about 3,5 years. Moreover, it helped to compare the costs per vehicle when painting in the own paint shop and when the service is outsourced. The difference was enormous: own workshop provides 3 times smaller cost per vehicle. MCDA was accomplished with the specialists’ opinion and it gave opportunity to create the concept for the requirements of the military-owned workshop. Unfortunately, the existing paint shop with the current scope and technologies was identified as the worst option of the author’s suggested after the final computations
