FAQs

What does QA/QC stand for?  Quality Assurance and Quality Control

How often should I QA/QC?  Every day, if the job is done it's good customer service to let the requestor know as soon as possible.

What if I complete the QA/QC assignment and it's not really done?  Contact Dispatch immediately.  They will re-open the Service Request and create a new work order to finish the job.  They will also ensure the customer knows of the error.

Technician Work Load Portlet

Use this portlet is used to determine how many work orders are assigned to each technician in your shop.  It should be used to ensure the work is distributed appropriately. 

Use the filter in the Assignment column to review how many work orders are assigned to a technician.  Need to determine if the workload is distributed appropriately based on the type of work required for the jobs and the quantity assigned.

Do not use the Set Chart Options since setting this to a pie chart cannot be done by Technician.  This type of chart also only takes into account work order quantity and not effort required per job.
