Avery Weigh-Tronix launched a 3-year service optimization program in 2006 to improve customer service and operational efficiency. They invested £1.5 million to redesign business processes, upgrade field technology, and develop a new service management system. Oracle provided technologies like SOA, BPEL, and Real-Time Scheduler to enable dynamic scheduling and integration between various systems. Tata Consultancy Services provided consulting, development, testing and integration support to implement the new solution.

- 5. History
- 6. Service Optimisation – overview Back in mid-2006, we launched a 3 year “Service Optimisation” programme, within our UK Service business: Features: comprehensive process redesign of our Service Scheduling system, Customer interfaces, Back Office processes and Field IT/apps. Benefits: improved Customer Service and Operational efficiency, by ensuring that our Field teams are ‘at the right place, at the right time, with the right tools and skills’. Timeline: all major components have been deployed, with Dynamic Scheduling currently under-going an intensive pilot trial . Financials: investment of circa £1.5m (incl. Project Resource).
- 7. Service Optimisation – overview The major project release phases have included: Field Mobile: major upgrade to hardware & functionality, & development of a dedicated workflow application. Enhanced support capability. Electronic Documentation: all Field based transactions integrated through Field Mobile, into company ERP system. All access to key documents transitioned to a secure web portal. Service Management system: dedicated Service CRM system. Managing the knowledge flow between Call Centre/Field/Back Office Users, and our Customers. Enhanced decision making & Customer care. Dynamic Scheduling: process automation; matching our Customer commitments with our resource, in real-time.
- 8. Service Optimisation – overview Underpinning these major project release phases: Process Redesign: pre-SOP, very few key Business Processes were documented. Low process-orientation placed maximum focus on People, and resulted in high levels of variability, & inconsistency in Service Delivery. Engineering Working Practice: pockets of best practice knowledge, all stored locally, in ‘grey matter’. Require clear business rules by which to automate the interface between Workload and Resource . Change Management: “ It’ll never work! ”. Phased release approach has overcome.
