Download or read book Performance Analysis and Optimization of Inbound Call Centers written by Raik Stolletz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-04-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this book is on the management of inbound call centers. Based on technical performance measures this book develops economic performance measures for different classes of telephone service numbers. Both the numbers of agents and the number of offered phones lines are decision variables in the operational personnel planning process. Since call arrivals as well as call-handling times are random in inbound call centers, this book concentrates on performance analysis and optimization using queueing models. These models may differ with respect to several features, for example, the number of customer classes, the number of differently trained agent groups, the limitation of the waiting room, or the customer's impatience. This book describes mathematical methods and algorithms to relate these decision variables to technical as well as economic performance measures.

Download or read book Turning a Telephone Answering Service into a Call Center written by Peter Lyle DeHaan and published by Rock Rooster Books. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARNING: this book is a PhD dissertation (2000) and contains academic research. It’s made available primarily to aid other academics who are conducting their own industry research. If this is what you seek, here’s an overview: The telephone answering service industry is maturing and undergoing rapid changes. In recent years, the traditional client has been vanishing, switching to alternative technologies, bypassing their answering service. Telephone answering services have reacted in various ways, such as mergers and acquisitions, pursuing niches, or expanding their businesses’ scope. The conventional wisdom is that there will always be a need for the human interaction which an answering service provides. It further assumes that answering services will serve fewer clients and generate less revenue unless steps are taken to increase their reach or obtain non-traditional clients. Previous research has recommended becoming a call center to better tap and capitalize on the needs of an emerging non-traditional client base. The findings of this research effort determined there were the essential elements which should be present for a telephone answering service to transition into a call center. Additionally, there were five items which are common industry dilemmas to be addressed. An inventory of significant call center characteristics was also developed. Most importantly, several areas of focus were advanced.
