Both regressions are highly significant, which means that the esti-<br />

mated time to assemble or disassemble a flotilla consisting of a given<br />

number of barges obtained from Equations (4.35) and (4.36) is a better<br />

prediction than using the average sample values. In addition, the<br />

linearity of the estimating equations was corroborated by log-linear<br />

regressions not reported here.<br />

Miscellaneous Delays. _Estimation procedures <strong>for</strong> two of the most<br />

important delay causes have been developed above. It is conceivable<br />

that similar approaches could be used in analyzing each of the remain-<br />

ing delay categories given in Table 4.4. However, this procedure<br />

would be impossible given the data availability. A simpler approach<br />

and one amenable to the available data is, there<strong>for</strong>e, desired.<br />
