Human Factors; Procedure
Local cargo leadership was notified by freight handler in regards to AWB [Airways Bill] X shipment. Original booking shows 5 pieces of radioactive for single leg. When shipment was tendered at facility a total of 11 pieces were tendered under AWB with a total TI [Transportation Index] of 12.7. This is over the maximum amount acceptable to travel on the 737 fleet type which is set at 6 TI total. The AWB will now have to be adjusted for transport across 3 separate trips to comply with the maximum TI allowable per fleet type.
Air Carrier Ground personnel reported Hazmat Class 7 cargo exceeded the aircraft TI [Transportation Index] limitation. Cargo size reduced to comply with aircraft limitation.
