The Feasibility of Developing and Solving a Model to Determine Logair Routing Structures.
Abstract
During 1972, interest was generated at the Secretary of the Air Force level for review of the total Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) LOGAIR system costs. Contract costs for LOGAIR are based upon total air miles flown, which represents 87 percent of the total cost, and landing fees. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of developing and solving a computer model that would determine an optimal LOGAIR route structure using computer systems available to AFLC. A mixed integer distribution model was developed for use with the Honeywell LP6000 Mixed Integer Programming Package on the CREATE system. The model successfully obtained an optimal solution to a small test problem. An optimal LOGAIR route structure was not achieved; however, a feasible solution less than the total air miles presently flown was obtained.
