Overview

Research analyzed cargo moved on 747s and MD-11s between Dover AFB and Incirlick AB in FY2009 to determine effects of redistributing cargo from cubes to contoured shapes. The research analyzed pallet build strategies to ensure that MD-11 missions were not cancelled due to lack of available contour-compatible cargo while other, full-cubed cargo was available. Data obtained from Air Mobility Command was used to construct 4 models examining redistribution effects. The data consisted of over 22,000 pallets moved on over 600 missions. The models demonstrated opportunities to restructure cargo exist with the potential to not only avoid future costs due to cancellation fees but also increase system efficiency as a whole.
