Separations apportion costs among categories by actual use or by direct assignment. Separations are made based on actual use, which gives consideration to relative occupancy and relative time measurements.
In the development of actual use measurements, measurements of use are first determined for telecommunications plant or for work performed by operating forces on a unit basis, such as conversation-minute-mile per message or weighted standard work seconds per call, in studies of traffic handled or work performed during a representative period for all traffic. Measurements of use are then applied to overall traffic volumes, such as 24-hour rather than busy-hour volumes.
