During May 2005 resolution rate decreased to 87% due to the need to clear overdue service requests that were not visible in the unresolved window for the previous reporting period. We have adjusted our search methods to ensure that both the overdue and unresolved requests are closed out in a timely manner. Dedicated staff has closed service requests, thus increasing our performance. |

Since
the current Streetlight Maintenance Contractor does not
have access to the service request system, Transportation
Services Administration has implemented the following procedure
to have a street or alley light serviced: print all street
and alley service requests each day, fax to the maintenance
contractor, who will input the requests into their database
system for service. They will run on the request within
2 days. Streetlighting personnel must find the work order
in the contractor's system, input the repair time, date
and change the problem code closing the work order. This
will take up to 8 calendar days to complete the work order.
We are not putting the resolution code S0856 (which means
scheduled for future date). This new procedure was started
March 2005, causing our weekly percentage to drop starting
in March 2005. |
