Miggins and Miggins Operations Team

Miggins and Miggins Operations team

All of Miggins and Miggins Consultants are trained inspectors and surveyors along with providing consultancy services. All work is assigned by the Sales team. The team is fairly new as was put together by the previous Operations Director. Some of the procedures have not been formalised and the team are doing the best they can. The main issue they are experiencing is the Sales team are booking visits without checking if there is availability and if the right consultant has been assigned.

Work is not being planned geographically correctly and as a result, there is a lot of wasted time travelling and expenses are high. There is very little time to do administration.

There is some written documentation in the department this includes:

MMCSOP001 Site Inspection report template
MMCSOP002 Site Inspection Sign off sheet
Recharging expenses Guidance
MMCSOP003 Onsite Delivery Procedure (Draft)

There have been some initial thoughts around automating the process as there are a number of steps that are completed in hard copy but then transferred electronically but this all stopped with the departure of the previous Operations Director

MMCSOP003 Operations Procedure

This procedure is designed to ensure Miggins and Miggins deliver a consistent level of service to all our customers regardless of the consultant delivering the service.

Basic Steps

Check for new orders by logging on to email system using credentials. Passwords must be changed every month and be a minimum of 12 characters. You cannot use the same password and put a number on the end to make it different. There are protocols in place to prevent this. It is against company policy for you to write this down in any note or similar. The only exception to this rule is you may store it in a company authorised password manager.
Send an email to the customer confirming the visit and any other necessary information such as vehicle registration number, special access requirements and expected arrival time on site. If there are any discrepancies between the customer order and arranging the visit, the customer must be contacted to resolve the issue. Before contacting the customer check the Consultancy calendar to ensure availability. In the case of a double booking, try and arrange with another consultant to cover the work. If this is not possible, telephone the customer as soon as is practical.
