Minimum agents

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

There is a minimum number of agents that MUST be available to answer inbound calls in order for a stable situation to exist. Failure to provide this minimum number of agents would create in an ever increasing call queue size and cause a high level call abandonments that cannot be analysed using the Erlang C traffic model.

 

If you enter an insufficient number of agents as an argument into the following functions, you will see the error value "#DIV/0!":

 

CCXLASA()
CCXLQueue()
CCXLLines()

 

If you see this error, increase the number of agents provided to the function in the relevant argument. Alternatively, you can find out the minimum number of agents required for a stable call queue using the following function:

 

CCXLMinimumAgents( Calls , Duration )

 

where Calls is the number of calls offered to the agents in one hour and Duration is the average length of the calls in seconds.
