Review of How Six Government Depots in Northern California Shipped Small Supply Parcels to Military Activities in the Western Pacific Area

Abstract

We reviewed how six Government depots in northern California shipped small supply parcels to military activities in the western Pacific area. Our purpose was to see if t he depots shipped these parcels as economically as possible, considering delivery requirements. We found that the six depots had mailed most small priority-1 and priority-2 parcels without regard to costs. Many of these parcels could have been shipped through the Military Airlift Command (MAC) system at much less cost and could still have met delivery requirements.
