    摘要: A workforce management system implements enhanced any-day-of-the-week or holiday fairness processing. The system provides one or more display interfaces indexed by day of week or given holiday dates, and through which a user defines a fairness policy with respect to each such day or dates. In use, the system compares a fairness policy with historical credit data to generate a rank order of agent eligibility to fulfill a contact center schedule for a given day or holiday date. This rank order of agent availability is then provided to a scheduler to enable generation of one or more contact center schedules for the given day or holiday date. The day of week and holiday fairness may be carried out independently or combined. The system also enables fairness days or dates to be processed according to a user-defined priority.

    摘要: Multimedia contacts are forecasted, propagated, and managed for each period in a range. The number of contacts received in a period is forecasted using historical methods and is propagated to succeeding periods based on the business goals, such as how quickly a certain contact type is to be handled. After the contacts have been propagated, a total contacts to handle is determined for each period, and the staffing requirements are calculated therefrom.

    摘要: A method for scheduling personnel (e.g., agents) in a work environment based on personnel "skill" levels. The method facilitates true skills-based scheduling of agents in a telephone call center using a simulation tool to predict what fraction of scheduled agents from each "skill group" will be available to each "call type" during each time interval being scheduled. A feedback mechanism is used to adjust net staffing and skills usage data between iterations of a call handling simulation until a given schedule being tested through the simulator meets some acceptance criteria.

    摘要: A method, using a call processor, for selecting one of a plurality of call centers in a telephone network. The method begins by generating a routing plan comprising one or more rules that control how calls are to be distributed among the call centers. For each call to be distributed, the rules in the routing plan are executed for a set of valid call center destinations until a destination for the call has been selected or until all rules have been executed. If all rules have been executed and more than one call center is still a valid destination for the call, the remaining call center destinations are then further evaluated according to the rules to select a destination for the call.
