A private taxi company called FastCabs was established in Glasgow
in 1992. Since then, the company has grown steadily and now has
offices in most of the main cities of Scotland. However, the
company is now so large that more and more administrative staff are
being employed to cope with the ever-increasing amount of
paperwork. Furthermore, the communication and sharing of
information within the company is poor. The Director of the
company, Paddy MacKay feels that too many mistakes are being made
and that the success of his company will be short-lived if he does
not do something to remedy the situation. He knows that a database
could help in part to solve the problem and has approached you and
your team to help in creating a database application to support the
running of FastCabs. The Director has provided the following brief
description of how FastCabs operates. Each office has a Manager;
several taxi owners, drivers and administrative staff. The Manager
is responsible for the day-to-day running of the office. An owner
provides one or more taxis to FastCabs and each taxi is allocated
for use to a number of drivers. The majority of owners are also
drivers. FastCab taxis are not available for hire by the public
hailing a taxi in the street but must be requested by first phoning
the company to attend a given address. There are two kinds of
clients, namely private and business. The business provided by
private clients is on an ad hoc basis. The details of private
clients are collected on the first booking of a taxi. However, the
business provided by business clients is more formal and involves
agreeing a contract of work with the business. A contract
stipulates the number of jobs that FastCabs will undertake for a
fixed fee. When a job comes into FastCabs the name, phone number
and contract number (when appropriate) of the client is taken and
then the pick-up date/time and pick-up/drop-off addresses are
noted. Each job is allocated a unique jobID. The nearest driver to
the pick-up address is called by radio and is informed of the
details of the job. When a job is completed the driver should note
the mileage used and the charge made (for private clients only). If
a job is not complete, the reason for the failed job should be
noted.
