Decision Support Tools for Aircraft Operations Planning with Many Practical Constraints

Abstract

In this project, decision support tools for aircraft operations planning under many practical constraints were developed. The application that motivated this study was the aircraft planning and logistics planning and scheduling that occurred during the planning of operations such as Desert Storm and the Somalia effort. This report describes a family of mathematical models and computation procedures that can be used as decision support tools for aircraft operations planning with many practical constraints. The major advantage of this planning tool is that it is able to find the minimum-cost plan under many complex constraints without the need to solve any mathematical program. The resulting planning process is an iterative process.
