CAR HIRE ALLOCATION

A computer system is allocating ICG Car Hire Expenses to responsibility centers. These responsibility centers consist of specific terminals, trainmaster territories and repair facilities, as well as general categories of Car Distribution and Marketing. The system collects reports of operational events, creates pairs (e.g., Arrival-Departure), assigns responsibility to each pair and calculates the associated Car Hire Expense.
