CONUS-to-Country Physical Distribution System for Danish and Norwegian F-16 Assets.

Abstract

This study examined the physical distribution systems (PDS) established to transport Danish and Norwegian F-16 materiel from two CONUS locations through their respective freight forwarders. Emphasis was on the traceability of shipments within those PDSs. Each PDS was described in detail and analyzed with respect to identifiable problem areas, particularly those associated with the freight forwarders. Difficulties experienced by other freight forwarders, as reported in other US Government studies, were highlighted. Special attention went to assessing the traceability of shipments within the Danish and Norwegian PDSs. Different methods of establishing this traceability were examined. Suggested areas of further research were included. (Author)
