2 2 About SMECO
3 3 Agenda 1. Introduction 2. Defining MWM 3. Deployment Considerations 4. Building a Business Case 5. Lessons Learned 6. Summary
4 4 1. Introduction
5 5 A Traditional View of MWM Mobile Workforce Management Operations, customer service, and revenue cycle activity management including safety coordination, crew and equipment management, inspection / maintenance planning and dispatching, restoration and planned switching, revenue collection with Turn-On & Turn-offs, and regulatory reporting. Laptop PDA
6 6 More Current Perspective Wireless communication is more accessible Speed Cost MWM is becoming an all-encompassing term Moving the office to the field A holistic and current view of MWM include a fusion of Work force management Project-based work management Field GIS redline and storm assessment Maintenance and inspection management Field based order initiation Centralized work planning and dispatch work is work While this vision has existed for sometime, technology and communications make this vision an attainable reality Hard business cases are becoming more challenging due to field force constraints
7 7 2. Defining MWM Success is dependent on identifying: 1) Which technology components to implement 2) How to justify the implementation 3) How to stage the implementation 4) How to manage change
8 8 Office Elements Work order origination Outage Work Management project work Inspection / Maintenance CIS In-Field Application Integration Mapping / GIS Field Resource Callout Time reporting Financials Dispatch console Integrated work environment Work is work. Automating the fieldforce is a multi-phase/year initiative.
9 9 Field Elements Automating processes: Status reporting Work initiation Information validation / collection Damage / storm assessment Service Turn On / Off Credit and Collection Safety checks (aidememoires) Time reporting Application Components AVL Maps-in-trucks mobile GIS Field Design & redline Credit card processing Time carding Materials management Report printing Storm assessment
10 10 3. Deployment Considerations
11 11 Integration
12 12 Bandwidth Requirements 2400baud 9600baud AVL - Fully Supported Basic forms High BW Private Data Network - 32k Low BW Public Carrier 56k High BW Private Data Network Advanced forms Graphical/map based updates High BW Public Carrier- 128k Mapping updates Leverage AMS/AMI Infrastructure WiFi O/S, Application, Bulk Data Loads WiMax... LAN
13 13 Public Carrier vs. Private Public Carrier Strengths Low capital costs High bandwidth Low support requirements Low cost upgrades Weaknesses No control High O&M costs Vulnerability Coverage Private Data Network Strengths High degree of control Lower O&M costs Weaknesses Costly infrastructure upgrades will become obsolete High capital costs Considerably lower bandwidth Expensive, proprietary mobile hardware Utilities must balance cost against control.
14 14 Mobile Units Cost Non-ruggedized - $1,500/unit Semi-ruggedized i.e. Dell ATC Ruggidized - $6,000/unit. Durability Ruggidized have low failure rate (i.e. 1/100 units) Non-ruggidized may have higher failure rates (i.e. 5-10/100 units). Utilities have been successful with either option. Mounting is critical success factor. The total number of PC s will increase considerably. This represents support challenge.
15 15 4. Building a Business Case
16 16 Typical Hard Benefits Improved work assignment Routing Unplanned assignment Intelligent navigation Crews getting to right location faster Underground efficiencies Reduction in back-office processing Clerical, supervisory, and management staff Reduced administrative effort Put trades back in the field Harvesting benefits Reduced overtime Straight-time efficiencies Support staff Cost of interruptions to customers Challenges is harvesting benefits Most field-forces are strained Qualitative benefits are rarely respected.
17 17 Typical Costs External Supporting hardware, i.e. servers, Field hardware, i.e. mobile units, mounting Installation services Wireless communications Configuration Integration Internal Support Technology transfer configuration support Typical areas of concern Integration Documentation Training Roles and responsibilities
18 18 5. Lessons Learned
19 19 Practical Guidelines Use commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) Minimize customization of software Invest in application integration Set expectations Set realistic goals for project scope, schedule and budget Let the business case drive the functional and implementation priorities Use phased implementation approach to accelerate benefits, reduce investment risk and improve acceptance Validate benefit realization with KPI s Don t underestimate wireless challenges Emphasize Organization Change Management
20 20 Understanding Challenges Technology: Wireless implementation Resolving software and hardware options Integration with key systems Ongoing O/S and application updates Security Non-Technology: Cross organization integration Skill set and work order alignment End-user training Routing efficiency / issues Geographic / region coverage and consolidation Field crew call out management
21 21 6. Summary
22 22 Points to Remember The office-to-field vision is now attainable in a cost efficient manner Harvesting benefits is challenged Currently most field forces are strained Quantify cost of increased efficiency in the field, more with less Full appreciation of benefits relies on significant organizational and process redesign Change issues remain very dramatic Increasing the number of applications in field can be disruptive
