LoBue: Real Resources: Our Services: Volume Analysis

VOLUME ANALYSIS

LoBue's approach to a comprehensive staffing redesign

THE NEED
Staff composition often changes in response to customer and market demands. Over time a variety of staffing scenarios evolve utilizing any combination of full time, part time, flextime or agency employees.

Though rational at a point in time, these various schedules may not now serve the end goal of efficient processing and optimal productivity. This may be because they were initiated to:

Meet a market or customer need that no longer exists
Resolve a temporary service condition that no longer prevails
Foster a department or firm strategy that has since changed
Solve a staffing constraint that no longer exists

THE SOLUTION
LoBue works with our client to document the current backlog levels and variances. This is then analyzed to identify opportunities related to:

Volume variances
Sources of volumes
Verification of volumes
Incoming delivery methods
Destination analysis
Volume growth assumptions
Peak and Valley analysis
Deadline analysis

Findings and recommendations detailing opportunities for a more effective processing model are documented for client assessment. Finally, LoBue works with our client to develop a redesigned schedule for the desired working environment.

THE RESULTS
LoBue delivers to the client a comprehensive "road map" of recommended changes to the current processing model that will significantly improve productivity, eliminate excessive down and wait times, and reduce operating costs. Further, implementation is ensured through LoBue project management and assistance to the client management.
