Methodology2
To provide a detailed analysis of the call center processes, the Process Improvement Team (PIT) used the process management methodology below.
Within the methodology, a process is a series of value-added steps that convert an input into an output. For example, in delivering support to HP customers, a
customer request for information is an input. A problem resolution, or an output, is then delivered back to the customer.

Process Tree
The PIT leveraged from previous process tree mapping performed by the ISG Supplies Organization Business System. This map details the key functions within
ISG’s Business System and extends to a Quality Management System methodology.
Customer Service/Support is function 6.0. It is supported by 7.0 Infrastructure Support. The purpose of 6.0 Customer Service/Support is to provide a complete
support solution to the customer (internal or external) that meets or exceeds their expectations. The purpose of 7.0 Infrastructure Support is to provide the
support and resources needed to efficiently and effectively run the business system, including its context, capability (people) and infrastructure (processes,
information systems, information technology, funding, and equipment).

    ACCC Process ImprovementTeam Charter and Project Scope The purpose of this project is to provide a detailed analysis of the call center key processes to determine disconnects, overlaps, and inefficiencies that are impacting the quality and cost of providing customer support within the Americas. The scope is: − Inclusive of Call Center processes. − Inclusive of Business Solutions Team functions. − Exclusive of Division and Technical Marketing functions. − Exclusive of onsite repair operations. − Exclusive of product distribution. Assumptions Assumptions included within this project are: − There are no areas or processes that cannot be improved upon. − Processes are connected and the business system is always changing. − Process analysis will build on the previous work completed by the ISG Supplies Organization Business System. − Processes will be documented using relationship maps & disconnects will be identified. − Sub-teams will be formed to correct disconnects that effect day-to-day job tasks. − A division QMS model has been extended to describe the regional group function of support.

    ACCC Process ImprovementTeam Methodology2 To provide a detailed analysis of the call center processes, the Process Improvement Team (PIT) used the process management methodology below. Within the methodology, a process is a series of value-added steps that convert an input into an output. For example, in delivering support to HP customers, a customer request for information is an input. A problem resolution, or an output, is then delivered back to the customer. 2 Process defined by Karla Williams 5 ProcessTree Relationship Map ProcessMap/ Flow Owner Process Metrics Standardiza- tion ContinuousImprovement

    ACCC Process ImprovementTeam Process Tree The PIT leveraged from previous process tree mapping performed by the ISG Supplies Organization Business System. This map details the key functions within ISG’s Business System and extends to a Quality Management System methodology. Customer Service/Support is function 6.0. It is supported by 7.0 Infrastructure Support. The purpose of 6.0 Customer Service/Support is to provide a complete support solution to the customer (internal or external) that meets or exceeds their expectations. The purpose of 7.0 Infrastructure Support is to provide the support and resources needed to efficiently and effectively run the business system, including its context, capability (people) and infrastructure (processes, information systems, information technology, funding, and equipment). 7 2.0 Product Generation 3.0 Order/Demand Generation 4.0 Supply Chain Management 5.0 Order/Demand Management 6.0 Customer Services/Support 7.0 Infrastructure Support ISG Supplies Organization Business System 1.0 Business Planning & Management ACCC Process Improvement Team focused on these two components
