Airlift Clearance Analyzer,

Abstract

To conserve SDT (Second destination transportation) funds, NAVSUP established new challenge parameter values for CONUS outbound cargo scheduled for lift by MAC. The modification of the challenge parameters changed the monthly material flow and movement costs. This report documents a quantitative model, the Airlift Clearance Analyzer, which compares the tradeoffs in material flow and movement costs resulting from changes to the airlift challenge parameter values. Tables were constructed to show the monthly percentages of shipments airlifted and costs of airlifted shipments. These tables provide a quantitative basis for projecting monthly number and cost of air shipments resulting from feasible parameter settings. The tables may be validated at any time through additional runs of the Airlift Clearance Analyzer. (Author)
