Frontier Communications

NPC Transport Provisioning                                                                                 10-2011- 5-2013

Provision CLR's to meet task DD by correctly mapping and configuring DACS ports, Flashwave 4100, 4500, FLM150, Tellabs 7100, Optera 3500, and other equipment as needed to allow rapid turn up of new circuit installs from DS0 to OC192 levels as well as Ethernet and Gig-E Ethernet and to release equipment for reuse in a timely manner.

 

Shortly after the database conversion of 4 states from AAIS-DS to M6 in early 2012, I discovered and informed my Supervisor of an M6 database problem that showed wrong DACS ports on the M6 CLR's when circuit designs were migrated from AAIS to M6, and that disconnect orders were being worked in the Provisioning group without correcting the DACS port assignments on the M6 designs. This could possibly have caused customer service failures, as well as massive database confusion, because the wrong equipment would have been released for reuse in the M6 database. My Supervisor then sent out a memo telling everyone to compare the migrated AAIS design with M6 design and to make sure the M6 CLR showed correct DACS ports, and to get the designs corrected if they didn't. Shortly after I brought this up, there was a hold put on affected M6 orders until this problem could be addressed and corrected by the database management group.

Verizon Communications: Formerly GTE and Bell Atlantic.                                      2004 -2008
VPSC Analyst/designer-Operations:  Worked the AAIS-DS circuit design queue's and other systems as needed to meet all ASR and TTSO order RID dates. As a member of the VPSC Message T1 and Trunk circuit design group that works all orders for a 5 state area, while working closely with engineers, technicians, and other LEC's to coordinate and assign facilities and equipment, to meet customers communication needs. Proficient in Designing Message DS1/DSO circuits: including T1, Message trunks, E911, FTTP-OLT, LINKS, MUX, DSL, Live Source (operator services), SS7 circuit design, and meeting E911 and SS7  route diversity requirements, using cable, CXR, or fiber as needed. Familiar with GTD-5, 5ESS, DMS10, and DMS100 switches and commands.
 

Achieved  >97% RID commitment met for >3 years, by personal completion of >1000 orders/yr, involving >20,000 circuits, with rework required on <5 orders/yr. Continuous Customer Circuit Order, Facility and Equipment auditing is necessary, as successful circuit design and order completion requires a very high degree of detail verification in several unrelated databases and systems, to make sure that all Customer Orders are entered correctly, all facilities and equipment assigned to the order are correct, available, and optioned correctly, thereby avoiding rework. During this time, in addition to normal work flow, also successfully completed several major and >6 minor projects.

Major Special Projects completed:

DACS electronic X-Connect addition & conversion of Terre Haute IN. Member of the team involved in moving >4K lines of service to the new DACS, while simultaneously, completing numerous customer new service orders, and several customer CFA roll projects successfully in these DACS during the conversion, while also correcting circuit record errors.

 

E911 CML to Switch based conversions of 2 large Indiana cities: RCMDINXB, FTWYINXA. The Richmond conversion was turned up 6 weeks early, allowing us to Re-open this E911 equipment exhausted city for new E911 service more quickly than originally planned, thereby enhancing public safety

 

IDENTIFIED PROCESS FLOW DISCONNECTS AND RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS FOR:

Several systems that caused significant order errors, wasted time, increased rework, and caused missed customer order due dates:

1: BERT process feedback gap for DSL new service orders, which involved several hundred circuits.

A: W.O. (new service Work Order)  information in most cases does not correctly reflect AAIS-DS

      records. Recommended Engineers physically audit and correlate AAIS-Core equipment  w/ AAIS-DS

      databases &  facilities before issuing W.O.

B: When W.O. is updated. No one is notified that W.O. has been updated. Recommended

      Engineers send e mails to all groups involved when W.O is changed.
 

2: Electronic DACS X-connect assignment errors. Recommended a DACS usage report that was already

      being run, be referred to a group to check out any mapping X-connect discrepancies and correct them.

 

CUSTOMER  ACCOLADES:

VPSC Group Thank You and Accolade:

VZ West reuse scorecard results
Relative to the Growth budget, the West was at 135% of target, and together with the Defective COE reuse, we had an overall result of $53.5M (134%) relative to a target of $40M. This represents an awesome accomplishment. Congratulations and thanks for the hard work, 2008.
Lee Hicks Vice President Network Engineering & Planning

 

I just wanted to thank you and your team for their efforts in getting the Fort Wayne hot cut completed. With your help, we were able to meet our deliverable of originating and terminating traffic on our new Cincinnati switch by 10/26/2007. I don't have everyone's email address, so please extend my thanks to anyone else involved.
