An analysis of local delivery costs and times at Naval Supply Center Oakland, California

Abstract

This study is an analysis of the local delivery system at the Naval Supply Center Oakland, California. Specifically, the study provides information regarding the average costs of deliveries to various customer locations and how driver time is distributed between travel and non-travel functions. As a result of the study, the authors concluded that Naval Supply Center Oakland and Public Works Center San Francisco are more concerned with the effectiveness of the local delivery operation than with its efficiency. Accordingly, recommendations regarding modifications to the current local delivery operation are provided in an effort to more evenly balance the emphasis between the system's effectiveness and efficiency
