Specials and Trunk Maintenance Code Descriptions

 

Trunk Maintenance:

 

Included are all Message Trunk troubles reported by the customer that were caused by a problem within the Verizon network. This does not include troubles for (Special Access) circuits under the Access tariff.

 

Criteria for inclusion is Circuit format (cfmt) is 'M' as defined by Bellcore standard, report category (rpt_cat) is "CR"  indicating a Customer Reported trouble, trouble code (trbl_cd) is either "FAC" or "CO" indicating the trouble was found in the Facility-cable (from Central Office to customers location) or in the Central Office (the trouble was found within the Verizon central office), Maintenance center (MCTR) is not training or blank which excludes troubles entered for employee training purposes, Subsequent calls on the same trouble are not included in these metrics.

 

Measure

Trunks:

criteria

total lines

Count of all Message Trunks that are currently working…I.e. provisioning work is complete.

total network troubles

trouble close out code indicates the trouble was found in the facility or central office part of the Verizon Network - trbl_cd is "FAC" or "CO" .

Network trouble report rate

total network troubles divided by total working lines then multiply by 100

mean time to repair

average (mean) of all duration times for receipt of the trouble within the Verizon Operating Support System to the time the circuit was restored to service to the customer   ….avg(actual_dur)   ….the actual_dur field does not contain any time where the Verizon technician could not gain access to the customer location.

out of service

This is used as the divisor for all of the out of service metrics…..upon initial contact with the customer it is determined that the circuit is completely out of service and not just intermitent problem (osi = 'y') and that the trouble completion code indicated that a trouble was found within the Verizon network (trbl_cd is "FAC" or "CO")

out of service over 24

The trouble report entry indicated that the circuit was out of service (osi is 'y') to the customer and that the trouble was reported more than 24hours before it was resolved (actual_dur is > 1440 minutes or 24 hrs) and that the trouble close out code indicates that a trouble was found within the Verizon Facility or Central office network (trbl_cd is "FAC" or "CO").

% out of service over 24

total troubles out of service more than 24 hours divided by total troubles that were out of service to the customer then multiply by 100

repeats

Total troubles entered - where a previous trouble report on the same circuit occurred within the previous 30 days.  Trouble is scored as a "repeat".  Count of all repeats (rpr_flag is 'y') where trouble close out code indicates trouble was found within the Verizon Network.

% repeats

Total repeated troubles divided by total troubles…then multiply by 100.

 

Trunks:

trouble code

the code that identifies the type of trouble found

Repeat

The flag indicates that this trouble report was received within 30 days of the restoral date of the last trouble reported on the circuit.

out of service indicator

The flag is set to 'y' if the circuit was out of service when the report was taken, or was scored as out of service during the life of the trouble. For designed circuits the flag is always set to y

 

Specials Services Maintenance:

 

Included are all special service troubles reported by the customer that were caused by a problem within the Verizon network. This does not include troubles for special access circuits under the Access tariff.

 

Criteria for inclusion is Circuit format (cfmt) is 's','t','2','3' as defined by Bellcore standard, report category (rpt_cat) is "CR"  indicating a Customer Reported trouble, circuit format does not indicate (fourth character of circuit id for a length of 2) "TK","IB","DI","DO" because these are considered POTS, 7th character of circuit id does not indicate official Verizon line as defined by Bellcore standard practice, trouble code (trbl_cd) is either "FAC" or "CO" indicating the trouble was found in the Facility-cable (from Central Office to customers location) or in the Central Office (the trouble was found within the Verizon central office), Maintenance center (MCTR) is not training or blank which excludes troubles entered for employee training purposes, Subsequent calls on the same trouble are not included in these metrics, Troubles are excluded where circuit id (cktid character 4 for a length of 2) indicates access tariff filing.  table will be provided.

 

Measure

Special Services:

Criteria

total lines

count circuits where center (MCTR) is not blank, not an official service (cktid 8,1) is not z (lines are in a different data base than specials and the circuit id field has a different layout),and only count 1 end of a point to point circuit (CKLEND='z') z indicates customer location.

total network troubles

trouble close out code indicates the trouble was found in the facility or central office piece of the special services circuit - trbl_cd is "FAC" or "CO" .

Network trouble report rate

total network troubles divided by total working lines then multiply by 100.

total troubles loop

trouble close out code indicates the trouble was found in the facility portion of the Verizon Network - (trbl_cd is "FAC")


Appendix A

Maintenance Additional details

network trouble report rate- loop

total troubles loop divided by total lines multiply by 100

 

total troubles "CO"

trouble close out code inicates the trouble was found in the central office portion of the Verizon Network - (trbl_cd is "CO").

network trouble report rate - co

total troubles central office divided by total lines then multiply by 100.

mean time to repair

Average (mean) of all duration times for receipt of the trouble within the Verizon Operating Support System to the time the circuit was restored to service to the customer   ….avg(actual_dur)   ….the actual_dur field does not contain any time where the Verizon technician could not gain access to the customer location.

 

 

Special Services:

mean time to repair loop

average (mean) of all duration times for receipt of the loop trouble within the Verizon Operating Support System to the time the circuit was restored to service to the customer   ….avg(actual_dur) and trbl_cd is "FAC"….the actual_dur field does not contain any time where the Verizon technician could not gain access to customer location

mean time to repair co

average (mean) of all duration times from receipt of the CO trouble within the Verizon Operating Support System to the time the circuit was restored to service to the customer   …avg(actual_dur) and trbl_cd is "CO"…the actual_dur field does not contain any time where the Verizon Technician could not gain access to the customer location or the customer was verifying the status of the circuit.

out of service

This is used as the divisor for all of the out of service metrics…..upon initial contact with the customer it is determined that the circuit is completely out of service and not just intermittent problem (osi = 'y') and that the trouble completion code indicated that a trouble was found within the Verizon network (trbl_cd is "FAC" or "CO").

out of service loop

This is used as the divisor for all of the loop out of service metrics…..upon initial contact with the customer it is determined that the circuit is completely out of service and not just intermittent problem (osi = 'y') and that the trouble completion code indicated a trouble was found within the LOOP piece of the Verizon network (trbl_cd is "FAC").

out of service co

This is used as the divisor for all of the CO out of service metrics…..upon initial contact with the customer it is determined that the circuit is completely out of service and not just intermittent problem (osi = 'y') and that the trouble completion code indicated that a trouble was found within the CO piece of the Verizon network (trbl_cd is "CO").
