Project Overview
Our company Life Line is a rapidly growing company that is looking to develop a new call center management system to increase efficiency and effectiveness. The new call center tool will be able to store as much information as possible such as Name of Owner/Insured, beneficiary information, values information, payment information and many different forms that can be sent out to the client with a click of a button. The Goal is to be able to utilize as much as we can in one system rather than using multiple different systems to complete a call. In a typical call center, the arriving calls are classified in different types, according to the required technical skill to answer the call, the language, importance of the call, etc. Call Centers Agents are also classified in skill groups according to the subset of call types they can handle. Calls arrive at random according to some stochastic process. When a call arrives, it may be assigned immediately to a Call Center agent that can handle it (if there is one available) or it may be put in a queue. When a Call Center agent becomes available, the agent may be assigned a call from one of the queues, or may remain idle. All these assignments are made according to some routing policy that often incorporates priority rules for the calls and Call Center agents. Our next Goal is for the caller information to automatically pull up when the call is answered. This will reduce call time and it will more efficient for the agent to go ahead and get the caller verified and assist the customer.
