In September 1966, a decision was made to go on a plant-wide pooling basis with no vehicles assigned to individuals. After investigation, it was decided that some of the vehicles formerly used as pools should be classified as functional. Pool vehicles are vehicles that are assigned to pools and are available for use by a number of personnel who move about the plant on an incidental or intermittent basis. Functional vehicles are vehicles that perform work on a full-time or continuous basis that precludes their use for other purposes. It became apparent that a system of analyzing utilization of vehicles was necessary. Queueing theory, sometimes called waiting line theory, came into being in the early part of the twentieth century; it is a statistical method which was originally developed to determine the number of telephone channels necessary to handle particular volumes of calls with a minimum of waiting time. Queueing theory lends itself well to carpooling applications, giving the correct utilization along with valuable information about the number of people having to wait and the length of their waiting time. A comparison of graphical and queueing theory methods is made. Additional data are provided in two appendices. (ERA citation 02:000859)
