The Design of LOGAIR Feeder Routines

Abstract

LOGAIR is the U.S. Air Force contracted commercial air carrier system which provides daily delivery of reparable and consummable items to all major USAF installations in the continental U.S. The system is completely airlift dedicated and does not consider other modes of transportation. This thesis develops and tests a method of minimizing LOGAIR feeder route transportation costs which allows for a general comparison of distribution options such as mixing transportation modes and varying performance levels. The mathematical model developed is a binary linear program which allows maximum flexibility for performing sensitivity analysis over a variety of constraint requirements. Example problems demonstrate the savings which may be realized by the introduction of surface vehicles and the relaxation of certain performance requirements.
