At that time I was doing this concept... there was no Tsikot group nor any advocacy group I know of.
It was also an idea too early for it's time. The burn in test was about 4 years - it was also serving two purposes... serving for the delivery business and at the same time - it was also a torture test for the formula or approach.
It did served its purpose.
The nice thing about it, LTO also gave me the freehand to register it as a UVX in the model description. They asked what it meant, I told them - Utility Vehicle Experiment... then they registered it.
But there was already a decline for the OTJ market at that time... which lead to the idea of using these items or components to come up with a new one in order to keep those inventory marketable... but I guess it wasn't meant to be.
On the same token,
My thoughts about the MVPMAP was to get their database of slow moving items in their inventory - put it in a 3D warehouse inventory and database and make it available for the design group to play with.
This way - we can estimate how many units can be made of their dormant items.
