Estimating Material Handling Equipment (MHE) and Manpower Requirements for an Air Freight Ramp Operation Using SLAM II.

Abstract

This thesis identified an Air Force need for an accurate, timely means of determining an air freight terminal's material handling equipment (MHE) and manpower requirements. The need was then justified by a review of pertinent literature. To maintain a workable scope, the research addressed ramp operations only. Then, two SLAM II simulation models were developed, verified, and validated.
