The world's largest ever manual telephone exchange, serving 60,000 lines, was installed byEricsson in Moscow in 1916.

1. WORK FORCE MANAGEMENT

Workforce management (WFM) encompasses all the activities needed to maintain a productive

workforce. Workforce management encompass field service management. This provides software to

optimally plan and dispatch field service technicians and their properly stocked vehicles to a

customer's location in a timely manner in order to deliver against their service commitments. In many

markets and industries, workforce management is all about assigning the right employees with the

right skills to the right job at the right time.

1.2 PARTS OF WORK FORCE MANAGEMENT

Actors in Work Force Management Tools of Work Force Management

2.Actors in WFM process

2.1 Dispatcher

The Dispatcher is the main user of a WFM system being responsible for scheduling the work orders to

the individual Field Technician as well as for handling and updating of the work orders.


8/27

Page | 7

2.2 FIELD TECHNICIAN:

Field Technician represents the field resources assigned to carry out the service work. In order to

report progress on the work being perform the field technician must interact with the

Dispatcher for him to make updates in the WFM system.

3. TOOLS OF WORK FORCE MANAGEMENT

3.1 N.O.C SYSTEM

The NOC refers to the Network Operating Centre. The NOC can either be controlled by the Customer

or by Ericsson.

The NOC system refers to the internal ticket system used at Ericsson Resolution for pilot India.

The NOC systems are interfaced to the ClickSchedule.

3.2 CLICKMOBILE WAP

ClickMobile WAP is a web application that field technicians will use the view work orders and reports

on their progress.

3.3 WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT (WFM) SYSTEM

WFM system, the software application, is an active participant in the new service lifecycle. It includes

the following applications: ClickSchedule and ClickMobile WAP.

4. INTRODUCTION TO CLICKSCHEDULE

ClickSchedule is a software package designed to assist large service organizations with managing their

field service work force. It provides a user-friendly graphic interface to create and update the schedule

for various field technicians throughout the organization.

The ClickSchedule system will help the dispatcher to make scheduling decisions, as well as alert the

Dispatcher in the case he must take action for a specific work order. The tool enables both manual as


9/27

Page | 8

well by the application supported creation and management of the schedule for the Field Technicians

belonging to the organization.

The ClickSchedule application is integrated with externally owned (e.g. Clarify) as well internally

owned (e.g. Ericsson Resolution) ticket handling systems. In addition the application is also integrated

with the ClickMobile-WAP application (used for mobile communication with the field force) as well

as with ClickAnalyze application (used for reporting of the field force performance).

ClickSchedule is built upon the W-6 Framework, which presents the service operation, and in a

structured manner reflecting Who, does what, for Whom, When, Where, with What. These each

represent a relevant concept within the ClickSchedule application.

Who- Field Technicians to consider and/or assign Does What -Type of work needs to be completed For Whom -Customer that requires service When -Times to consider relative to working hours, commitments to customers Where -Location of the equipment that requires service With What -Types of tools, trucks, or other required resources

The primary purpose of ClickSchedule, on its own or in conjunction with human schedulers, is to

make the best possible decisions to determine Who should do What and When. The secondary

purpose of ClickSchedule is to handle service dispatching, i.e. the communication of assignments to

the field force, as well as to respond to updates from the field.

The WFM process is initiated by the NOC system sending a request of service through the interface

into the WFM system. If the request of service contains the pre-requested data a new work order will

be automatically create the WFM system.

As an exception to the main flow the dispatcher can manually create a work order from within the

WFM system.


10/27

Page | 9

Once the work order has been created in the WFM system the dispatcher will review the work order

details and tentatively schedule the work order to a field technician using the WFM scheduling tools.

The dispatcher confirms the schedule by dispatching (communicating) the work order to the assigned

field technician. The work order is communicated to the field technician via an SMS message.

When the field technician receives that notification that a new work order has been assigned to him he

will retrieve further details on the work order, review them and confirm his acceptance of the

assignment. As an exception to the main flow, the field technician might reject the work order forcing

the dispatcher to reschedule it.

Based on the scheduled start time and the address of the site the as stated on the work order the field

technician will travel to site. The field technician should report when he arrives at the customer site

and commence the work as well as when the work is completed, i.e. when the work order is resolved.

There is a possibility to have the WFM system to automatically close a work order according to a

warranty policy defined for the customer for which the request of service was raised. If this is not

requested by the organization using the WFM solution the dispatcher can manually closed the work

order once it has been resolved.

4.1 ACTIVITY - AUTOMATIC REQUEST OF WO CREATION

A request for service is raised from the NOC. The request is sent through the interface to WFM system for automatic work order creation.

4.2 ACTIVITY - MANUAL REQUEST OF WO CREATION

The dispatcher uses ClickSchedule Work Order Creation Form. The dispatcher will manually create a work order in the WFM system, in order to

accommodate for the following scenarios:

a). There is a problem with the interface between the NOC system and WFM system, causing

delays in receiving the work orders.


11/27

Page | 10

b). The Dispatcher receives service requests by email/phone, which requires a fully manual

operation in WFM system.

4.3 ACTIVITY - CREATE WORK ORDER

A request for automatic WO creation reaches the WFM system from the NOC systemalternative a manual WO creation.

The WFM system verifies that the request contains the mandatory information for a successfulWO creation.

A unique WO reference (Call ID) is calculated. Additional WO data is determined based on the WO details. The work order is successfully created in the WFM system. If the WO creation request initiated from NOC a success creation message will be returned.

4.4 ACTIVITY: VIEW & VALIDATE WO DETAILS

The dispatcher reviews the WO details and verifies that all the information/equipment requiredto complete the WO is available.

If required the dispatcher updates/adds more information to the WO (for example, he mightdecide that the WO requires a longer duration than what was automatically calculated.

If requested a change of the WO details will trigger an outbound message to the NOC systemwith the updated WO.

4.5 ACTIVITY - SCHEDULE WORK ORDER

The Dispatcher tentatively assigns the work order to an appropriate field technician usingClickSchedule Scheduling tools.

The status of the work order is automatically updated to Assigned.


12/27

Page | 11

If requested, changing the status triggers an outbound message to the NOC system with theupdated WO. Note: The subscription profile determines if this message should be sent to the

NOC system or not.

The Dispatcher may schedule the WO using the following ClickSchedule scheduling tools: Drag &

Drop (Manual Schedule):

1. The Dispatcher selects the scheduling policy (the list of rules that should be imposed on theschedule) to be used.

2. The dispatcher drags the WO, placing it on to the field technicians Gantt chart at a specifictime chosen.

3. ClickSchedule validates the assignment according to the scheduling policy.In case there is a rule violation related to the assigned technician, or to the time in which the work

order is scheduled, the dispatcher is informed from a dialog box specifying which rules that is

violated. The dispatcher can either continue and schedule the WO ignoring the rule violation or cancel

the scheduling and reschedule the WO.

4.6 ACTIVITY- DISPATCH WORK ORDER

The Dispatcher scans the schedule to find WOs that should be dispatched to the fieldtechnician.

The Dispatcher changes the work order status to Dispatched. If requested an SMS is sent to mobile phone of the field technician(s) assigned to the work

order.

If requested, changing the status triggers an outbound message to the NOC system with theupdated WO. Note: The subscription profile determines if this message should be sent to the

NOC system or not.

The Dispatcher may dispatch the WO using the following ClickSchedule dispatching tools:


13/27

a) Bulk Dispatch the Bulk Dispatch add-in will enable the dispatcher to dispatch a number ofWOs simultaneously.

b) The dispatcher will select the WO(s) to be dispatched.c) The dispatcher will run the bulk dispatch add-in.d) The add-in will update the status of the selected WO(s) to Dispatched.e) At the end of his run, the add-in will report whether all the WOs were dispatched successfully.f) A reference to WOs that he failed to dispatch will be displayed.

4.7 SINGLE WORK ORDER DISPATCHING

The dispatcher will select a WO, edit it details and set it status to Dispatched.

4.8 ACTIVITY - VIEW WORK ORDER DETAILS

The field technician receives an SMS indicating he has been assigned to a new WO. The field technician retrieves further details on the WO. The field technician reviews the WO details.

This activity description varies depending on whether the field technician has a ClickSchedule WAP

mobile device or not.

6. WORK ORDER TYPE

The Work Order Type refers to work requests having different level of urgency and containing

different level of information about the work to be performed. The Work Order Types set up in the

first release of the WFM system are:


19/27

Page | 18

a) Corrective:Corrective work orders are created when technical equipment has failed and needsrepair. In the case of corrective maintenance the level of urgency is high.

b) Planned:Planned work orders are work orders being planned and created in advance, e.g. forthe coming week(s). Resulting in that for planned work orders the level of urgency is not as

high as for the corrective work orders.

c) Preventive:Also for Preventive maintenance the work order is planned and created inadvance, but with a longer time until due date than for planned maintenance, i.e. the coming

year.

d) Implementation: Implementation Work Orders will be used when creating new sites as a partof the Network Roll-Out (NRO) process.

e) Provisioning:Provisioning Work Orders will be used when installing for example ADSL.

6.1 DUE DATE

The WO Due Date will always be maintained and represent the SLA clock time. This means that

When a WO is created- Due Date will be calculated by the data determination process basedon the Creation time, the SLA duration and the Customer Calendar.

When a WO is updated to Waiting External (SLA clock stops)- the due date will remainas it was.

When a WO is updated to Request In Progress (SLA clock starts again) - the due datewill be recalculated based on the original Due Date and the time spent in status Waiting

External.

When a WO priority is updated - the due date will be recalculated according to the datadetermination process, taking into account the time spent in status Waiting External.

6.2 FORM FOR CREATION OF NEW WORKORDER

6.3 STATUS VALUES

The following sections provide a description of the WO status values that will be implemented in the

0603 WFM release.

Unassigned - The WO has not yet been assigned to a field technician. This is the default status when a

WO has successfully been created in the WFM system.

Corrective Unassigned - The corrective WO has not yet been assigned to a field technician.This is the

default status when a corrective WO has successfully been created in the WFM system.


21/27

Page | 20

Assigned -The WO has been scheduled and assigned to a field technician. This can be seen as a

tentative status meaning that the WO has been scheduled but not yet dispatched to the field technician,

i.e. the assigned field technician and scheduled start and end time might change.

Dispatched -The scheduled assignment has been confirmed and communicated to the assigned field

technician.

Accepted - The field technician has verified and accepted the assignment.

Rejected From Field -The field technician has verified and rejected the assignment.

In Progress -The field technician has arrived at customer site and the work is in progress.

Object Ready - This status is in between In-Progress and Resolved where assignment is completed

and ready.

Resolved -The assignment has been resolved.

Rejected - The WO is incorrect and has been rejected.

Cancelled - The WO is incorrect and has been cancelled.

Waiting Internal -The WO has been put on hold for information/equipment to be provided form a

source within the organization.

Waiting External -The work order is put on hold for information/ equipment to be provided from the

NOC.

Request In Progress - The NOC has provided the information required.

Request Re-open - The NOC has requested the work order to be re-opened.

Jeopardy_Not Dispatched - The work order has been scheduled but not yet communicated to the

field technician and the scheduled time for start of travel for the assignment of the given work order is

less than predefined number of hours/minutes from now.


22/27

Page | 21

Jeopardy_Not Accepted -The assigned field technician has neither accepted nor rejected within a

predefined number of hours/minutes from when the status of the work order was changed to

Dispatched.

Jeopardy_SLA violation -Indicates that the Due Date/Requested Due Date for an unscheduled work

order is approaching, as well as that the Due Date/Requested Due Date for a scheduled work order is

approaching, i.e. is within a predefined time period.

Closed -Work order has been closed and no additional changes are allowed.


23/27

Page | 22

7. REASON FOR STATUS CHANGE

Some of the statuses have a reason that must be set when changed to. The reason will describe why

this change was made. Following statuses have a mandatory reason:

Waiting External Waiting Internal Rejected from Field Cancelled Reject

This reason is set by the FT when they change status in the WAP interface as well as by the user in

Click Schedule client . In both cases the reason value will be set by using a drop down list.

The local list can be set up by each country and contain the translation of the master reasons. If a local

list is set up it will be visible in the drop down in the WAP interface. However in CS client, the drop

down of reasons will always be populated by the master list. The local list cannot have more reasons

than the master list; it will always be same amount or less.

8. BENEFITS OF WORK FORCE MANAGEMENT

It cut down on agent inefficiency, absenteeism and minimise idle time. It can improve customer service by increasing agent availability and decreasing the need for

call backs. By creating optimized employee schedules, it improves service levels and reduces

Centre costs.

It provides real and virtual skill-based scheduling, which improves customer satisfaction byensuring agents with certain expertise are available to answer questions quickly.

Improve operational efficiency by developing optimal staffing schedules that make the mostout of the resources and incorporate all types of activities into customer service operations.

9. CONCLUSION

The Workforce Management procedure has empowered Ericsson to leverage its existing workforce in

new ways. Not only has it made workforce more efficient, it has also turned it into a huge competitive

advantage over others. This Workforce Management application is enhancing Ericssons field force

management to -

1. Save money - Reduction of expenses and maintenance costs, and also cut itsdispatcher/technician ratio by as much as half.

2. Work more efficiently- Respond quickly to changing conditions and manage thousands oftechnicians based on priority, skill, location, and workload.

3. Quickly overcome real-time challenges- Automatically resolve workload imbalances causedby service outages, vehicle problems, bad weather, and many more.

4. Stay connected - Keep technicians and dispatchers in touch at all times via wireless access.5. See clearly - Get a graphical map-based view of your technicians, territories and assignments,

and give customer service representatives real-time data for accurate appointment scheduling.

6. Improve the customer experience - Gain the ability to offer real-time, achievableappointments.

The development of this prototype supports the workforce administrator in the work order assignment

process. The application lets the administrator have a better view over the technicians workload and

the procedure of finding the right technician is made easier. This workforce management may also be a

step towards the development of more complex features such as automatic scheduling & assignment of

work order.
