Dataset First Impressions
- There is missing data
- There are 3 sites (east, north, south)
- There are 2 clients (A, B)
- There are 16 supervisors
- Some seem to be mispelled
- ANDREEW instead of Andrew
- SARA instead of Sarah
- JORRGE instead of Jorge
- This could also be George
- JONATHAN instead of John
- Some seem to be mispelled
- This data is taken over 5 weeks of time
- Service time appears to be in seconds
- Ranges from 402 to 550
- 9 blanks out of 240 data points
- Quality of service is scale 0-10
- Ranges from 4.3 - 9.3
- There are 6 blanks out of 240
Assignment First Impressions
Requirements
- Generate a presentation that can appeal to technical and non-technical people that describes my findings from the dataset
- Create a list of probing questions/opportunities for the business units to follow to try and improve service
- Provide code used to perform the analysis
Assumptions
- These are the only supervisors and agents for this region
- We are not missing data
- These supervisors and agents work with similar customer demographics so the data is not skewed by servicing in Dallas vs Chicago
Findings
- The core of my findings so far, the customer B has the worst service, so the largest opportunity for improvement.
- Usually if a customer is dissatisfied, it is more than just a service time.
- We should meet with the customer to discuss the issues
- If its as simple as service time, we need to get our faster/more experienced people working more consistently with them to make them happy
- This can come at reduced happiness of the already happy customer, but it depends on priorities
- The South site has a bigger opportunity for improvement on times.
- This could be handled one of two ways
- See if two people from the North location would switch to balance the locations.
- They would be tasked with training/improving the South location people
- Those that moved from the South into the North site would be trained by the North people
- It is hard to move people sometimes so this may not be an option
- Focus efforts/training on the South site to get them faster and more efficient
- See if two people from the North location would switch to balance the locations.
- This could be handled one of two ways
Next Steps
-
Now that I understand the data at a cursory glance, and I have next steps labeled out, some other interesting things to do:
- Build a predictive model that could say, based on the variables given, what quality score should you expect
- Then it could tell you that based on the variables the Agent controls, what they can do to get a higher score
-
For those statistical nerds like me out there,
-
I would want to use feature reduction to try and simplify the model and remove redundancies with the correlated data
-
There is only one variable in their control at this point in time so that is time.
- It would show the expected score based on the windows seen in the plotted graph
- I also know better than to make the expected score an exact value. It would be an "expected" range
