Scheduler, Dispatch Center & Spares Management: Continued Evolution
Enhanced Dispatch CenterMap View Integrated Google Maps Native Oracle Map View
Dispatch CenterTechnician Calendar & Trips Management • Dispatchers can create/replace trips as and when needed • Pick and choose Technicians • Automatically uptake latest calendar updates • Select a different calendar (need not be primary) • Mass unschedule Tasks (including Assigned/Committed tasks) • No need to navigate to other setup UIs • Ability to select • Specific Trip Start Time • Specific the Trip Start Address/Location
Resource Calendar & TripsHolidays & Exceptions Management • Set up Trips for Holidays • Trip exceptions • Setup recurring holidays • Fixed Dates: New Year’s day (1st Jan) • Floating Holidays: Thanks Giving (Last Thursday and Friday of November)
Advanced scheduler Site Dedicated Technicians • Allow Technicians to be associated to customer locations • Flag existing customer location as ‘Default Trip start location’ for Technicians • Generate Trips for Technicians with their start location same as the address of the customer location • Criteria of ‘Technician visiting the same site’ Cost Parameter is enhanced to consider Departure and Arrival Tasks (similar to other Customer Tasks in cost calculations) • i.e. consider Departure (or Arrival) Task as the ‘Task’ already exist in the trip • With this change, Scheduler prefers ‘Site Dedicated Technicians’ (option will be cheaper) compared to other eligible Technicians
Advanced Scheduler Enhanced Customer Confirmation Process • Dispatchers are allowed to Reschedule, Unschedule and Cancel Tasks for which Customer Confirmation has already been recorded. • Task is reset to ‘confirmation Required’ • Dispatchers can follow the confirmation process • Scheduling options are enabled for a Task with Customer Confirmation set to ‘Received’ • UnscheduleTask • Reschedule Selected Task • Reschedule Starting at Selected Task • Cancel Selected Task • Cancel Starting at Selected Task
Advanced Scheduler Work Load Balancing • Some Service Providers want all Technicians to get some work, even though the their trips are NOT optimal • Scheduler is enhanced to balance workload • Enforces Task constraints • Provides configurable Scheduler Rules for load balancing • Cost based work load balancing • New Cost Parameter • Statistics based load balancing • Enhanced Scheduler and Optimizer logic
Advanced Scheduler Web Services • Standards based XML • Leverages Integrated SOA Gateway infrastructure and Service Beans • Automatic enforcement of all XML based Scheduler Rules • Leverages all the capabilities of scheduler Engine • Ability to run scheduler as a standalone module • Supported Web Services • Search Options • Schedule Option • Search And Schedule • Batch Schedule • Batch Schedule based on Task Query • Cancel Task • Unschedule Task • Reschedule Task • Background Status Monitor Web Services are secured: E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway supports Username Token-based WS-Security
