The Business Challenge
Call centres currently perform a major role in our day-to-day life. Due to the flexible and complex working patterns of resources in call centres, it is usually difficult to manage them efficiently. Thus, to ensure a high quality of service, the call centres should be managed in a more controlled and efficient manner. The effective management of call centres make it a more profitable business, which can be achieved by the usage of a resource management system.

The system should have the ability to forecast the number of call handles that will be required for the coming weeks and how many will be required at certain timeframes in order to give an equivalent quality of service throughout the day.

What will happen if the call handles have different attendance patterns? Allowing flexible attendance patterns for employees usually results in the selection of the right people at the right time. How can you schedule them according to your forecasted results while accommodating time breaks for the resources within their shifts?
