Abstract
This thesis examines the benefits of implementing the Word Wide Express program to the Arabian Gulf. To perform this analysis.- wholesale mean fill times were measured for items shipped via the Air Mobility Command and World Wide Express program. The Air Mobility Command and World Wide Express program data were then compared to determine how Customer Wait Time (CWT) and readiness were affected for Aircraft Carriers deployed to the Arabian Gulf. The second objective was to determine if World Wide Express program had an effect on customer confidence and determine the perception of the defense transportation service. A comprehensive analysis was conducted using data obtained through the RAND Corporation for four Aircraft Carriers deployed to the Arabian Gulf, two from each fleet. Our results indicated that the World Wide Express program does show improvements in wholesale mean fill time and Customer Wait Times for aircraft carriers deployed to the Arabian Gulf. These improvements translate to a minimal increase in readiness rates for Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers and no improvement for Atlantic Fleet aircraft carriers. Additionally, confidence levels were shown to be higher by survey participants when using the World Wide Express Program.
