Problema

Malawi enfrenta graves escassezes de combustível, levando a longas filas e aumento de custos para motoristas e empresas. Um simples cronograma de filas em papel poderia ajudar a reduzir o tempo perdido e o estresse

O que estão a construir

A single fuel station in Lilongwe agrees to trial a paper-based queue schedule for one week. Station staff or a volunteer maintains a visible sign-up sheet with hourly slots. Up to 10 drivers per hour can sign up. The pilot is limited to 70 drivers per day. The operator records actual wait times and participant feedback.

Porque importa

Test whether a paper-based schedule reduces average wait times and perceived stress compared to unmanaged queues. Hypothesis: Scheduled slots lower idle time by at least 30% for participants. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: At least 50% of scheduled drivers report a reduction in wait time of 30% or more compared to previous unmanaged queues, measured over 7 days. Baseline: average wait time before pilot, collected from participant recall and direct observation.
