a. Capacity Planning:
- Concept: Determining the number of jeepneys needed to meet passenger demand without overcrowding or underutilization.
- Mathematical Tools: Queuing theory models help in understanding passenger wait times and vehicle utilization. These models can assist in determining the optimal number of vehicles required.
b. Maintenance Scheduling:
- Concept: Regular maintenance is crucial for safety and efficiency. Scheduling maintenance to minimize disruption and costs requires mathematical planning.
- Mathematical Tools: Reliability and maintenance models, including failure rate analysis and predictive maintenance algorithms, are used to forecast when vehicles will need maintenance based on usage patterns and historical data.
