The Suitability of Certain DSS Procedure for IL Customers.

Abstract

This study examines transportation and documentation procedures for the shipment of FMS materiel from the depot to the Freight Forwarder. It identifies the need for visibility of shipments and proposes methods of improving visibility through receipt documentation, consolidation of shipments, and improved Freight Forwarder suspense activity. Recommendations are made regarding the implementation of a receipt card, consolidation of shipments by depot, better understanding of US government procedures by customers and their agents, and expanded Freight Forwarder capabilities.
