Using Multicommodity Network Models for the Air Force Logistics Command.

Abstract

This paper reports on a successful application of mathematical programming for the Air Force Logistics Command. It presents a pair of multicommodity network flow models which represent the air freight network utilized by the Air Force to support sixty bases in the continental U. S. A. State-of-art software was developed to solve these models and this software is currenty being used in an interactive model to aid Air Force personnel in making annual design changes in the route structure.
