Voice Line Improvement Case Study
Background
• In 2011 Colt’s end to end
business performance for
Voice Line Orders has been
measured at around 73% at
best, but estimated to be
closer to 60-65% when taking
Service Delivery issues also
into account.
• Detailed analysis of rejected
Voice Line Orders has
demonstrated that Clean
Orders progress from Front
Desk to Billing typically 23
days quicker than orders which
require some level of re-work.
• Improving Clean Order
volumes through the business
will not only significantly
reduce the order to cash
lifecycle, but will positively
impact customer satisfaction
for improved delivery
performance and reduce
resource requirements
currently required for re-work
• The Objective for the Voice
Line Improvement Work
Stream was set up with the
objective of achieving 95%
Clean Voice Line Orders in Q4
2012
Approach
• Understand the business performance data to determine what
the top causes of rejection are, and verify with the operational
teams – continually throughout the improvement process
(1300 deep dives)
• Review all activities that may affect the reason, end to end
(customer order to bill); test all assertions & assumptions
• Select targets, use A3 methodology to manage this
improvement initiative
• Establish and synchronise consistent rules across all affected
areas – ensure the data flows consistently from field to field
• Improve/ create communication channels between the teams
• Switching & Billing
• Billing & Order Entry (OE)
• Billing & Order Receipting Desk (ORD)
• Switching & ORD
• ORD & Front Desk (FD)
• Provide training and tools to ensure all relevant staff know
how to carry out the process and follow the work instructions
correctly
• Monitor performance week by week and, where defects are
identified, ask the individual and their manager what they will
do to make sure it does not happen again
• Transition responsibility for maintaining performance into the
business
• Look for opportunities to use systems to engineer failure out
• Define strong Improvement Actions within E2E Workshop
with relevant representatives from all involved operational
areas
• FD, ORD, OE, SD, Switching, Billing, Stage, Product
Management
Results
• OE Voice Line Rejections
reduced by 67% (15 week avg
Q4 2011 – Q2 2012)
• End to end order quality (Q3
90%)
• December 2012: 94% Voice Line
E2E Order Quality
• Checklist available for ORD &
FD to ensure orders are
submitted with all mandatory
information and attachments
• Streamlined Outage Scheduling
Process for UK & IE with existing
process for all remaining
Countries and Products
• FD Voice Line Work Instructions
• Educated the ORD Team on
Technical Product specifics to
improve the order validation
• eOrder – OHS Integration
• Voice Line Simple Change
Process
Control Phase Actions
