Solution Overview

Problem

Current quality management systems in call centers face inefficiencies in selecting calls for evaluation, as quality managers must manually search and retrieve calls based on multiple criteria, making it a time-consuming and ineffective process, which limits the benefits of evaluation and adaptation to changing organizational needs.

Innovation Solution

A quality management system that automates the selection of calls for evaluation by defining parameters, quotas, and criteria, allowing for the automatic association of evaluation forms with selected calls, and providing a 'push' mode of operation where relevant recordings are made available to quality managers, enabling efficient evaluation based on various business objectives and KPIs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual selection of calls for evaluation is performed, then quality managers can evaluate calls based on criteria, but the process becomes time-consuming and ineffective when dealing with thousands of recorded calls

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidtime to select calls
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic selection of calls for evaluation through self-service mechanisms where the quality management system autonomously identifies and selects calls based on predefined criteria, eliminating the need for manual intervention in the selection process while maintaining evaluation accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the selection parameters from manual criteria-based selection to automated multi-parameter selection including call type, agent performance metrics, customer satisfaction scores, and business objectives, enabling precise identification of relevant calls without manual time investment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If random selection of calls is used, then the selection process is simplified, but the benefits of evaluation are severely limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveselection simplicityVSAvoidevaluation effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic call selection that adapts to changing organizational needs and business objectives, automatically adjusting selection criteria and weights based on current priorities, ensuring both operational simplicity and evaluation effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where evaluation results and performance data continuously inform and refine the automated selection process, improving evaluation effectiveness over time while maintaining ease of operation through the automated system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If multiple criteria are applied for call selection, then evaluation quality improves, but the complexity of the selection process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation qualityVSAvoidselection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal automated selection framework that handles multiple selection criteria and business objectives through a single multi-functional platform, managing complex evaluation quality requirements without increasing operational complexity for users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
