摘要: An automated method for servicing a plurality of work items within committed times. A workflow including two or more work activities is assigned for each of the plurality of work items and a commitment is assigned either to each workflow or to each work item in each workflow. Queued work items are automatically assigned to a next available agent based on an activity state. A short-term predictor provides early detection of work items that are at risk of failing to meet their commitments. A long-term predictor detects backlogs of work items where excessive delays in queue are likely to put work items at risk of failing to meet their commitments. An activity's state can also cause additional reserve and backup agents to be assigned to it, to service work items from its queue before their commitments are missed.

摘要: An entity of a private communications network (24, 26, 28), such as a controller (70) of an ACD system (24), controls the operation of a network router (30) of a public communications network (12, 14, 16), thereby eliminating the need in a network-routing system to send sensitive event or status information of the private network to the network router. The entity collects and processes locally the status information about the private network, and whenever it detects (704) that the workload balance in the private network needs readjusting, it sends (710) a new routing sequence message to the network router. These messages specify the routing scheme to the network router. A routing sequence message contains a pair (404, 406) of routing sequences. Each is an ordered sequence of destination route points (408). The first establishes a load balance and the second maintains the load balance. The first is executed by the network router once upon receipt, and the second is executed repeatedly in a cycle until a new routing sequence message is received.

摘要: The flow of work items (40) through a workflow process (50) is optimized by repeatedly reordering (FIG. 3) work items enqueued in inbox queues (21) of workflow process tasks (500) to maximize results according to a given business strategy expressed through target times. Each enqueued work item has an associated in-queue rating (IQR 28) that represents the number of queue positions (23) that the work item can be retarded or needs to be advanced to meet its target time. When a work item enters a queue and whenever a work item changes its queue position, its IQR is computed. An optimization function is then performed (404) on the queue to determine an order of the enqueued work items that optimizes a metric of those work items that may fail to meet their target times. The work items in the queue are then reordered (406) accordingly.
摘要翻译: 通过工作流过程(50)的工作项目(40)的流程通过在工作流过程任务(500)的收件箱队列(21)中重新排序(图3)工作项目来优化,以根据给定的业务策略来最大化结果 通过目标时间表达。 每个入队的工作项目都具有相关的队列等级(IQR 28),其表示工作项目可以被延迟或需要被提前以满足其目标时间的队列位置数(23)。 当工作项目进入队列时,每当工作项目更改其队列位置时,计算其IQR。 然后在队列上执行优化功能(404)以确定优化可能无法达到其目标时间的那些工作项的度量的入队工作项的顺序。 队列中的工作项随后重新排序(406)。

摘要: A contact center is described along with various methods and mechanisms for administering the same. The contact center proposed herein provides the ability to, among other things, selectively promote and demote agent skills to respond to various changes in contact center conditions. This enables the contact center to respond to unexpected changes in processing conditions without significantly impacting the overall performance of the contact center.
