The task is even more complex as the relocation project intersects with the concerns the multiple stakeholders. Defining a proper plan to ensuring smooth transition execution is key. Stakeholders conditioning, infrastructure and facilities readiness, human resources, and the logistics operation transition plan are some of the concerns that have to be considered when defining the relocation action plan. Several relocation scenarios have to be developed and assessed before defining the final relocation plan. In this case study, we share our first-hand empirical experience in preparing an action plan for relocating an operating air cargo terminal of one of the biggest airports in the south-east Asia. The paper offers two main contributions. The first one is the air cargo center relocation framework which elaborated important sequences in translating the facility relocation objectives into the final relocation action plan definition. The second contribution, is the conceptual model of air cargo center relocation planning process which portrays the interdependencies and the contingencies among different aspects of the relocation components Published The Authors. by Elsevier Published B.V.

2 140 Meditya Wasesa et al. / Procedia Manufacturing 4 ( 2015 ) performance (in volume) has strong correlation with many economical metrics such as a nation s gross domestic product (GDP), the economic growth, etc. [1], [2]. As an economic development engine, the air cargo stands as a vehicle that bridges the global trade and supply chain in a faster and reliable manner. In the new fast-cycle logistics era, nations with good air cargo connectivity have competitive trade and production advantage over those without such capability [2]. Air cargo terminals stand as an important logistical infrastructure that expand a nations global business reach by the extension of the nation s global air cargo connectivity. Not only considered as linchpins that bridge commodity traffic between the airside and the landside, air cargo play an important role in stimulating other businesses and investments that reside within and outside the terminals perimeters. To stimulate economic growth, improving a nation s air cargo infrastructures is a prerequisite. A recent case study of Taiwan that reported a bidirectional causality between air cargo expansion and economic growth [1] has provided empirical evidences. This study presents the effort to expanding the existing international cargo terminals by means of relocating an onoperation cargo terminal to a larger area. In this paper, we share our first-hand empirical experience in preparing an action plan for relocating an operating air cargo terminal. As the synthesis results of our empirical exploration, we present the conceptualization of the air cargo center relocation framework and the conceptual model of air cargo terminal relocation planning process. 2. Related literatures Despite its importance, air cargo logistics, especially the operation of air cargo terminals, has received little research attention. This is in contrast with the number of studies that have been conducted on the sea container terminals topic [3][4][5]. The fact that over 90% global trade s commodities are transferred via the seaways has become the main driver for the mature development of seaports related studies. Although air cargo carries less than 1% (per-tonnage) of all intercontinental commodity transportation, the air cargo transport is responsible for over a third of the global trade s total value [6]. Air cargo transport has become the fastest growth field in the global logistics world. The growth of e-commerce, the pressure to push down the inventory level and time to market, and the shortened product life cycles are some of the main drivers for the air cargo industry growth. Air transportation are extremely important for commodities subject to the just in time supply chain pressures, such as perishable, fashion, and electronic goods [7]. For transferring the commodity, competitive air cargo providers are in high demand. Air cargo customers are looking for excellent providers that can deliver excellent delivery performance, e.g. timeliness, cost, reliability, schedule and shipment size flexibility, and responsiveness [8][7]. Another empirical study states that the shaping service criteria of air cargo providers are defined as: delivery value, knowledge innovation value, service value-added, information value, and performance satisfaction value [9]. Taking a different perspective, a study proposed an air cargo supply chain operations reference (ASCOR) as a framework to evaluate air cargo performance from the airport level, airfreight sector level, overall logistics industry level, and economic level [10]. The air cargo terminal is an indispensable part of the air cargo supply chain operation. The performance of air cargo terminals contribute to the overall air cargo supply chain performance. In response, air-cargo supply chain actors are eager to find the best air cargo terminals which can provide the best service at a reasonable cost. Airport charges and cost minimization is indeed an important consideration for the air cargo freighters in selecting a terminal [11]. Nevertheless, there is a standard service time compliance that has to be fulfilled by the terminals in order to remain competitive. In the context of selecting air cargo transshipment hubs, a study showed that time cost is more sensitive for the clients than the monetary costs such as landing fees and line-haul price [12]. The airport s ability to attract transshipment cargo traffic, including the existing traffic flow patterns; airport infrastructure capacity and activities; linkage with regional and intercontinental airport network are also important in shaping an air cargo terminal s competitiveness.
3 Meditya Wasesa et al. / Procedia Manufacturing 4 ( 2015 ) Fig. 1. The air cargo center concept. It is important to note, that the performance and the competitiveness of an air cargo terminal cannot be viewed in isolation. It is crucial therefore that airports do not see themselves in isolation but as part of the overall supply chain where they must interact with all elements in order to be successful [11]. The connection with the hinterland supply chain actors must also be solid. It is well known that many global air cargo terminals (e.g. Shanghai China, Memphis Tennessee USA, Schiphol the Netherlands) have even grown as air cargo activities clusters. The clusters of global cargo centers, that are inhabited by many business actors (e.g. the airlines, regulated agents, ground handling operators, integrators, freight forwarders, warehouse operators, etc.), have provided myriad of advantages such as: the availability of full spectrum logistics services, the improvement of overall cargo movement efficiency and communications, increasing cargo throughput capacity, more synergized collaboration among logistics actors, stimulating regional economic growth, etc. 3. Problem identification Southeast Asia has performed steady economic growth in recent years. Expanding labor force and the migration of agricultural based to manufacturing-based workforce has been recognized as one of the drivers. The growth of economy and trade consequently requires faster commodity exchange. In our cargo-terminal relocation case, the demand growth of air-cargo throughput rate has exceeded the existing cargo terminal s maximum capacity. To solve the issue, the air cargo terminal operator can opt for (1) expanding and upgrading the existing cargo terminal or (2) building a larger and better cargo terminal at another location. This paper intersects with the second option. Limited land availability for expanding the existing facility was the cargo terminal s main reason in selecting the second option. As the issue of capacity overutilization has led to many issues (e.g. uncontrollable service time, chaotic order replenishment and order picking processes, etc), the relocation execution was a high and an urgent priority. 4. The relocation plan framework To provide a solution to the defined problem, we have formalized the air cargo center relocation framework. As shown in Fig. 2, the framework details the required processes which will lead the way to the final action plan of the logistics centers (i.e. the air cargo center) relocation project. The framework is constructed by five major sequences, i.e. (1) the definition of relocation objectives, (2) the generation of relocation scenario alternatives, (3) the formalization of evaluation criteria and methodology for selecting the best relocation scenario, (4) the selection of the best relocation scenario, and (5) the definition of the relocation action plan.
4 142 Meditya Wasesa et al. / Procedia Manufacturing 4 ( 2015 ) Fig. 2. The air cargo center relocation framework. One of the first things to be noted in the whole action plan definition process is to note the stakeholders interest that then is bundled in an agreement of the relocation objectives. In this study, there are (at least) four objectives that are listed as follow: (1) the new cargo terminal must operate within a strict short deadline; (2) interruptions on the on-operation (former) terminal have to be minimized; (3) the need for modifying the layout of the new facility have to be eliminated, and (4) the potential stakeholders conflicts that may rise due to the relocation plan have to be minimized. Beside the relocation objective, the planner also must have a solid understanding of the operation and the physical infrastructures of the former and the new cargo center. As shown in Fig. 3, a typical international cargo normally contains of three different zones: (1) the domestic restricted and non-restricted cargo zones, (2) the international restricted and non-restricted cargo zones, and (3) an additional non restricted cargo area. In line with the cargo center concept introduced before (see Fig. 1), the cargo center concerns the living of many stakeholders such as the integrators, the warehouse operators, the ground handling operators, the government agencies, etc.
5 Meditya Wasesa et al. / Procedia Manufacturing 4 ( 2015 ) Fig. 3. A generic air cargo center block plan. To prepare the action plan, several relocation scenarios (not only one) has to be proposed and evaluated. A scenario basically determines which operations (and the concerned operators) will be relocated at an earlier or at a later time. As portrayed in Fig. 4, in this example three relocation scenarios were developed. The first scenario is to move all cargo center activities all at once. The second scenario is to relocate the domestic terminal activities subsequent to the international terminal activities relocation execution. The last scenario is designed based on the tenant s type. In the third scenario, the priority tenants who handle high volume cargo and who require highly customized facilities will be moved earlier than the other tenants i.e. the ones who share common facilities. Fig. 4. The relocation scenario alternatives. To evaluate the relocation scenario alternatives in an objective manner, an evaluation criteria and a methodology have to be defined. Considering the defined relocation objectives and the air-cargo professionals and academics view, a number of relocation criteria are defined as the following points: (1) the relocation total cost, (2) the duration of total relocation processes, (3) the complexity of the relocation execution scenarios, (4) the risk of interrupting the on-going operation at the former cargo center, (5) the quick win factor (i.e. the speed for operating the new facility) etc. All of the predefined relocation scenarios are then synthesized into an evaluating formula which adopt the decision with multiple criteria decision analysis framework [13]. The scoring formula is then defined as, where denotes the total evaluation score for relocation scenario i, denotes the referee s evaluation weight for the evaluation criteria of. In this case we define five criteria (x=5), and for each criteria a weighting factor will be assigned by a panel of experts (both from the academic and professional experts) who sort the criteria mainly based on their perceived subjective effect on the relocation goal and its level of importance. The quantification of the evaluation criteria is based on a likert scale. By using the proposed scoring formula, one can select the best relocation scenario easily. The biggest challenge is to ensure that the views of all concerned stakeholders are incorporated so that the relocation scenario recommendation will gain high acceptance among the stakeholders. After scoring process resulting in the best scenario selection, an action plan has to be properly defined. The definition of the action plan have to consider the readiness of the infrastructure, the human resources, the tenants, and the operational aspects. The relocation process can be started once all aspects for a specific operational zone (e.g. the domestic terminal, the international terminal, etc.) are ready. However, those four aspect may has interdependencies and contingencies; thus it is important to identify and anticipate the contingencies and its consequences in preparing the action plan. In Fig. 5, we a compact portrayal of the action plan for relocating an air cargo center in a conceptual model format.
6 144 Meditya Wasesa et al. / Procedia Manufacturing 4 ( 2015 ) Conclusion Fig. 5. The conceptual model of air cargo center relocation planning process. This paper discusses the process of preparing an action plan for relocating an air cargo center. We began by narrating the importance and the economic impact of air-cargo transportation at the global, the national, and the local airport levels. We also narrated the importance of having air cargo service zone (e.g. cargo center) to be able to perform an excellent service level at an aggregated air cargo supply chain level. In a steady economic growth situation, the demand growth of air-cargo transport demand can exceed the existing cargo terminal s maximum capacity. To solve the issue, building a larger and better cargo terminal at another location can be an option and thus a relocation action plan is required. The paper has offered two main contributions. The first one is the air cargo center relocation framework which formalized the important sequences in translating the facility relocation objectives into the final relocation action plan definition. The framework consists of five important phases which includes the relocation objectives definition, the relocation scenario alternatives definition, evaluation criteria and method fixation, the final relocation scenario definition, and the final action plan formalization. The second contribution, is the conceptualization of air cargo center relocation planning process. The conceptual model portrays the interdependencies and the contingencies of four important components, i.e., the infrastructure preparedness, the operating system preparedness, the human resource preparedness, and the concerned tenants (the stakeholders) preparedness.
