## Popis

Lakeside CNC Group outgrew spreadsheets and basic email-based tracking as its repair-management workload increased. The case study says customer questions and service requests were still being recorded in spreadsheets, which limited visibility and made it harder to manage a growing technical repair operation.

## Požadavky

1. All incoming repair requests and customer communications are tracked in one system, replacing spreadsheets and scattered inboxes. (0 hlasů) — Anonymní · Lakeside CNC Group
2. Gives clear, real-time visibility into open jobs, request status, and who owns follow-up. (0 hlasů) — Anonymní · Lakeside CNC Group

## Pilotní rámce

### Pilotní rámce #1 — Anonymní · Lakeside CNC Group (0 hlasů)

- **Rozsah:** Pilot the new workflow on incoming repair inquiries, ticket intake, technician assignment, and customer status updates for the FANUC repair operation.
- **Trvání:** A 6- to 8-week pilot is appropriate for one service workflow covering request intake through repair-status communication.
- **Doporučené KPI:** Track time to log a new request, percentage of requests handled without spreadsheet use, average response time to customer inquiries, and visibility of open repair jobs.
- **Kritéria úspěchu:** The pilot succeeds if intake and follow-up are consistently handled in the centralized workflow, staff can see current repair status without spreadsheet lookups, and customer communications are easier to track.
- **Časté chyby:** Common pitfalls include keeping parallel spreadsheet processes alive, incomplete technician adoption, and failing to define consistent status updates for customer communication.
- **Nároky na zdroje:** Requires a service lead, one or two technicians or coordinators, and limited admin support to define statuses, migrate active work, and review workflow adoption.
