\subsection{The Distribution of Arrival Time}  We introduce the count of arrival per minute $k = 1,2,3, ...$ where $k$ is incremented by one each time the optimization software creates a new group of employees, that will be carried by the same elevator. Probability of arrivals is:  \begin{equation}\label{Poisson}  P(k) = \frac{\lambda^k \cdot e^{- \lambda}}{k!}  \end{equation}  where $\lambda$ is the mean arrival count.  The plot below shows the probability mass function (\textit{pmf}) under the Poisson distribution in three cases ($\lambda=1$, $\lambda=4$ and $\lambda=10$).
