Gas Station Transformational Relations

This page show a complete pairwise comparison table for the relationships between the transformational elements in the design of a gas station.

	Carwash	Tire air	Speedy service	Bad weather use	Payment services	Profit	Branding	Market	Environmental responsibility	EOL remediation	Leaks	Traffic	Vapours	Seismic activity	Accidents	Parking	Waiting	Entry/Exit	Room to manoeuver	Gas delivery schedule	Pricing system	Gas storage	Gas delivery	Safety	Franchise	Gainful employment	Efficient service	Target of crime	Accident damage	Social meeting place	Convenience
Bathroom	used while car in		increases in-system time			no direct profit		extra service	produces sewage			increases in-system time			more pedestrian traffic	park to use bathroom								extra safety measures			distract attendants	vandalism, “secret” area			customer satisfaction
Snacks			distract attendants		are paid for differently from gas	extra revenue	branding options	deepens market	generate litter			increases in-system time					must be paid for in turn								help franchaising	extra employee?	extra employee?			cafe?	help hurried people
Carwash		compliments		only used in good weather	complicates	extra revenue	enhances brand	broadens market	creates effluent			special lanes/space			new accident source	can interfere	slows customer flow	complicates	complicates				accommodate delivery & lineups	crowds deter some crime	broader market		operation requires attendants?	vandalism, theft	new source for accident damage		useful service
Tire air							extra services strengthen	extra services capture				congestion/lineups				congestion/lineups	congestion/lineups		congestion/lineups								congestion/lineups	vandalism	maintenance/repair		extra services increase
Speedy service					minimal waiting to pay		improve reputation	return customers	lessens idling			higher throughput/lower traffic				fewer parking spots	faster throughput		increases manoevering room	requires timely deliveries		requires sufficient storage	requires unobtrusive deliveries		good business metric		cannot compromise quality				less wasted time
Bad weather use					good payment services improve use in bad weather		can improve brand	can increase profit				can increase traffic			can cause accidents	can overuse parking	slows throughput	slows throughput	can complicate	can complicate		can complicate		can lower			can lower		can increase		extra services helps user
Payment services						payment choices increase revenue	help define brand	help retain market				faster throughput					faster throughput								improves business case		faster throughput	better security			more payment choices for users
Profit								supports more marketing	can pay for	can pay for	lessened by				lessened by		lessened by				depends on	lessened by		improved by	improved by		can pay for	can pay for protection	pay for control	pay for control	comes from
Branding								can secure	can benefit from	can benefit from	weakened by		weakened by		weakened by		weakened by excessive				improved by good pricing			improved by good safety record	promotes		benefits from	suffers from	suffers from	benefits from	benefits from
Market												increased traffic can open market													defines number of franchises	attract good workers		busy stations less likely to experience crime	busy stations more likely to source accidents		convenience attracts market
Environmental responsibility										requires	results in fewer	promotes effective traffic mgmt	results in less	stations in earthquake zones?			calls for less idling					results in better storage		public safety				better accident mgmt	station as community element	public health
EOL remediation											can offset			premature remediation	premature remediation						must be included in	recycles storage system							premature remediation
Leaks													leaks can cause vapours	can be caused by	can be caused by							hard to fix if in storage system	can be caused by		endanger users & residents				can be caused by
Traffic													exhaust is harmful vapour		can increase accident rate	requires more parking	can decrease throughput	can congest	requires more manoeuvering room				can delay				requires higher efficiency				is inconvenient
Vapours														can result from	can result from		caused by exhaust					storage can create vapours	delivery can create vapours	are unhealthy						discourages social interactions
Seismic activity															can lead to catastrophic accidents							can destroy tanks		hard to design for
Accidents																increased in parking lots		can be worse at entrance					can increase during a delivery							can happen to innocent bystanders
Parking																			increases need for manoeuvering room				may conflict with	distinct parking area can help protect cars					adds kinds of damage possible	improves opportunities for	extra service improves convenience
Waiting																		lineups can interfere with entry/exit	waiting restricts manoeuvering room		payment system must minimize waiting					sufficient employess help control waiting	efficiency lowers waits			less waiting, more time to socialise	shorter waits are more convenient
Entry/Exit																			position entry/exit to allow max manoeuverability				good access facilitates gas delivery	can improve pedestrian safety							conveniently located access
Room to manoeuver																							must allow for delivery	more room means better safety			room can help increase efficiency				more room helps convenient access
Gas delivery schedule																						must accommodate		transfer pumps, valves, piping, etc			should not interrupt customer service
Pricing system																								keep cash, data transfers safe		must include cost of employees	must help keep service moving	hackers?			easy for customers to pay
Gas storage																							storage must accommodate delivery	failsafe storage			storage to pump easy to maintain and reliable
Gas delivery																								transfer to storage is dangerous	outsource logistics			hijackers
Safety																									franchise selling point	good employees are safe employees & vice versa	efficiency with safety	minimise overt targets	focus on severe accidents	social settings improve with safety
Franchise																										business opportunities	share best practices	outsource security		dispersed community
Gainful employment																												crime by employees?
Efficient service																												good surveillance		efficiency promotes social behaviour	less wasted time
Target of crime																														scares people away	convenience doesn't matter
Accident damage																														lowers appeal of social setting
Social meeting place																															extra service valuable to users
Convenience
