IIMB Management Review

The “Dabbawalla” or tiffin carrier system that operates in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) is unique and incredible in the complexity and enormity of its task, simplicity of its operation, and surprisingly low error rates for a system of its size. It is a daily service in which thousands of men carry and deliver over 200,000 lunches every day, within  three hour block of time, across the city’s 70-kilometre stretch, with each lunch box (known as tiffin or dabba) changing hands at least four times. Yet, for all its complexity and size, it is run and managed by a group of largely …

Material Requirements Planning In Air Force Depot-Level Maintenance, Kevin J. Gaudette

Theses and Dissertations

The Department of Defense has historically relied on Wilson's Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model for consumable item management at all levels. With inventory practices under intense Congressional scrutiny over the past decade, the Air Force Materiel Command has searched for alternative systems to better manage its consumable inventory. Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is one such system, as is the MRP-based Repairability Forecast Model (RFM) developed by CACI. This thesis examines the wisdom of applying MRP logic in a remanufacturing environment. MRP has had some degree of success in environments where requirements are relatively certain and demand and lead time variability …

Factors Influencing Utilization Of Air Cargo Containerization In The United States Air Force, Joel W. Gartner

Theses and Dissertations

As the Department of Defense budget continues to decrease, the growing requirement to meet national strategic mobility objectives with limited resources provides a major impetus for cost effective and credible transportation innovations. The commercial transportation industry has increasingly accepted cargo containerization as a method to take advantage of intermodal shipping efficiency and cost savings. The military implementation of these same shipping initiatives must be flexible, reliable, and compatible with the existing cargo handling systems already designed to deliver fighting forces to conflicts throughout the world. This thesis examines cost and container utilization factors among units familiar with the ISU bins …

Evaluation Of The Vehicle Out-Of-Commission Standard For Air Force Vehicle Maintenance Units, Christopher K. Arzberger, Lawrence F. Audet Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

Because the Department of Defense is facing budget and manpower reductions, the importance of productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness in daily operations is being stressed. Unfortunately, the VOC performance measure does not adequately apply these concepts. By examining the concepts of productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness, the inadequacy of the VOC measure is highlighted. A review of research into performance measurement is conducted, with emphasis on USAF transportation squadrons, to examine perceptions about the VOC measure. Because the VOC measure is viewed as inadequate, a review of performance measurement indicators throughout the government is analyzed to determine the type of performance measurement …

Model Development For Forecasting Traffic Management Office Shipping And Budget Requirements, Luke E. Closson Iii

Theses and Dissertations

This research represents an attempt to develop a quantitative tool that could be used to forecast Traffic Management Office (IMO) budget requirements for freight movements at base level within Air Combat Command. Regression analysis, using aircraft flying hours, aircraft sorties, and wing manpower levels as independent variables to predict shipping costs, was used in this research project. Each of the independent variables was aggregated and disaggregated at various levels in an attempt to develop a simple but accurate model. The results seem to suggest that aircraft flying hours, aircraft sorties, and wing manpower levels are not accurate predictors of TMO …

Freight Transport Deregulation And Its Impact In New Zealand, Gagadish C Guria

IIMB Management Review

In recent years a move towards deregulation, i.e. the replacement of quantity restrictions on the number of licences, on maximum and/or minimum rates, on geographic boundaries of operation etc., by quality restriction on drivers’ qualifications and systems of operation, has become a significant development in the transport policy of many countries: Australia. Sweden, Switzerland,U.K., USA, and New Zealand. The trend was first set in Australia, in 1954 when the interstate freight transport was deregulated. Later on this trend spread to individual states: South Australia in 1968 and New South Wales in 1974. In Sweden a move towards deregulation was initiated …

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Prior to the passing of the County Unit Law by the West Virginia Legislature in 1933., a number of school districts were transporting children to public schools in the interest of both economy and better school opportunities for the children.

This authority to transport school children was vested in boards of …

The Tendencies Toward Public Ownership Of Railroads In The United States, Russell Robert Windau

Bachelors’ Theses

The importance of our railroads can be better grasped if their magnitude is appreciated. Just how extensive is the railroad system of the United States? One can answer this question best by using a few comparisons. The railroads of the United States represent one tenth of our national wealth. They are equal to all the combined value of the farmland in the country. Their worth is equal to more than two-thirds of all the minerals, oil and gas in the country. All the privately owned timber in the United States would only buy a half interest in our railroads. The …
