A transportation company has a process where they are required to checkin drivers
upon their return from their route. They have conducted a study and have determined
that of their driver's logs match their onboard computer equipment. The
remaining of the driver's logs do not match their onboard computer equipment
and a manual reconciliation process must be completed. Previously, the driver checkin
process was completed on a firstcome first serve basis. This process took
approximately minutes on average to complete.
A new system was designed which separates the process into two areas, one for
routine driver checkins and another for driver checkins which must have a manual
reconciliation completed.
The driver checkin process consists of the driver arriving back at the terminal and
waiting to see a clerk who completes the initial inspection to determine if the driver's
logs match the onboard computer equipment. The clerk then routes the drivers to
appropriate dispatchers to complete the checkin process.
On average drivers hour enter the driver checkin process. Assume the process is
stable. The clerk inspection takes on average minutes, the routine inspection takes on
average minutes, and the manual reconciliation takes on average minutes. There
are on average drivers waiting for the clerk inspection, drivers waiting for the
routine checkin process and drivers waiting for the manual checkin process.
A diagram of the process is below and may also be found in the Power Point with all the
diagrams for Chapter homework posted at the beginning of the Chapter module:
