This paper demonstrates the development of a flexible methodology for examining strategic airlift resource allocation and cargo priority rules. The work was motivated by the need to developed and test heuristic rules to reduce the amount of cargo delivered late in a contingency operation. Priority rules derived from machine scheduling are adapted and used in conjunction with alternative aircraft allocation procedures to determine an improved method for scheduling C-5 aircraft. To test the different scheduling policies in a dynamic environment, a simulation model was developed, using SLAM. Multiattribute utility theory was also used to develop a scalar scoring function (SSF) which effectively combined the response variables into a single value for each policy to facilitate comparison among the various scheduling policies. A full factorial experiment was performed, using five levels of cargo priority rules and three levels of aircraft allocation rules. A one-way analysis of variance was used to compare the mean SSF values for each policy.
