GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. Top 5 Contributors Causing Current Performance Level 1) Accountability 2) Product Reliability Concerns 3) Field Structure 4) Quality of Call 5) Lack of Service Reporting Utilization Think Globally Act Locally
GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. Accountability Ø 8: 00 – 5: 00 v We consistently identify technicians arriving late and pulling out early Ø Inaccurate daily reporting of time. Ø Inconsistent work ethic Think Globally Act Locally
GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. Resolution ü We immediately implement “Clearly Defined” expectations at the field level v Tech, Supervisors, etc. v Stress 8: 00 – 5: 00 ü ü We implement AM & PM checks throughout the team Clearly define how daily reporting should happen Monitor reporting in detail for the next 30 -45 days Define our Benchmark of v First Call Completion v Last Call Completion 9: 30 4: 30 ü Monitor first and last call of day (always the longest) Think Globally Act Locally
GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. Product Reliability Issues Ø Heavy call activity Ø No internal benchmarking v Who services what the best Ø Minimal Pro-Activeness v Aggressively addressing excessive service Ø No “total call” procedure in place v No inspection process (audits) Ø Not utilizing all available service reporting to identify reliability issues v Excessive service v Reliability CPC data Think Globally Act Locally
GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. Resolution ü Full implementation of “Total Call” procedure v Audits…”Inspect what you Expect” ü Eliminate “PM” lights ü Aggressively begin visits to all excessive service machines/stop excessive activity v Primarily performed by supervisors or product specialist ü Immediately eliminate hit & run activity ü Train managers to “target” audits ü Begin internal benchmarking at the CPC level v Why are Bill’s machines running so much better? Think Globally Act Locally
GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. Field Structure Ø Most companies are in a “generalist” structure v Techs work on anything within an area Ø Low Territory Integrity v 50 – 60% same tech v No ownership Ø Uneven workload distribution v Bob with 1 call, Jim with 10!! Ø High incomplete rates due to ineffective car stocks Ø Inadequate training/lack of effective car stocks, manuals, etc. Think Globally Act Locally
GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. Resolution ü Perform territory analysis v Determine all machines in each zip code & associate volume v Determine product specialization split, i. e. , 10 cpm to 40 (LV) 41 and (HV) ü Plot workload by copy volume in each zip code ü Develop territories based on volume v Start in most populated areas first ü Analyze parts usage by model (top 50 used parts) ü Develop car stocks based on exact product mix, utilizing parts usage reports by model ü Implement territories with product specialist Think Globally Act Locally
GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. Quality of Call Ø Hit & Run Activity Ø Reliability Issues Ø High Call Back Rate Ø No or Minimal Field Audits Performed Think Globally Act Locally
GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC. Resolution ü Full implementation of “total call” procedures ü Field audits to “inspect what you expect” ü Tie audits passed to bonus and reviews Think Globally Act Locally
