Publisher's Synopsis
This study was initiated by the assertion that it was taking a greater amount of time to transport assets from Support Center Pacific (SCP) to its Western Pacific Air Forces (WESTPAC) customers (Misawa AB Japan, Yokota AB Japan, Kunsan AB Korea, and Osan AB Korea) than it was taking to transport similar assets to the same locations from a CONUS repair facility. These delivery times include the total time it takes a reparable asset to be transferred from a repair facility (consignor) to the user (consignee). Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) has proposed using commercial express freight carriers to transport reparable assets between SCP and its customers may reduce the amount of time it takes to move reparable between the WESTPAC locations.
