ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An elevator system having a plurality of eleva- tor cars and supervisory control for directing their movement in a building to efficiently serve the floors therein. The supervisory control divides the floors and service directions therefrom, called scan slots, into sets, with a set being those scan slots served by the same combination of cars. The scan slots are assigned to the elevator cars using a predetermined strategy, with the sets being taken in a predetermined order determined by the number of cars enabled to serve the sets. The strat- egy breaks out of the rigid set concept when assigning scan slots to cars based upon car calls, to effect a significant improvement in elevator service.
