The Call Center Operations Management Handbook and Study Guide provides this solid foundation through an examination of key performance indicators, call center planning and management processes, call center technology and facilities management.

The third section of the guide provides an in-depth discussion of the planning and management processes upon which call center operations depend, including forecasting, staffing and scheduling. The guide then transitions from processes to technology with an integrated look at the technologies present in the best of today's centers. The guide closes with site selection, call center design, health and safety issues, and disaster recovery principles.

It deals extensively with all aspects of workforce management, but also with topics such as call routing and the scheduling of multiple channels. It does so without going into the mathematics, but by focusing on understanding its consequences.

The book is primarily meant for call center professionals involved in planning and business analytics, but also call center managers and researchers will find it useful. There is an accompanying website which contains several online calculators.
