Unbundled Network Element (UNE) Non-Recurring Cost Study
The BRPC Admin employees handle the jeopardies, expedites, escalations, completions,
and reporting for all BRPC orders.
Provisioninp Cost Methodologv
The cost team documented the process flows for the Exchange and AdvancedSpecial
provisioning workgroups. The process flows take into account system enhancements that
will eliminate or modify work done by these groups.
The provisioning NRCs were developed
from
system reports, order volumes, workgroup
hours, time and motion studies, and
SME
estimates. The cost team used the most current
loaded labor rates for each of the workgroups. (See Appendix Tab
6
for Loaded Labor
Rates.)
The cost team calculated the provisioning costs for each type of
UNE
order using the
standard non-recurring cost calculation

Cost
The costs for the Local Wholesale UNEs are shown on a per-line basis for the initial line
and for additional lines. The costs for Network Wholesale
UNEs
are calculated and
shown on a per order basis.
Data Collection
Data collection methods varied by provisioning group. Detailed information about the
activity times, probability, and labor rates is provided in the cost calculation section for
each workgroup. Below is
an
overview
of
the source for the cost data by workgroup.
FAC
P
GTE’s management methods and reports focus on “touches”
in
the FAC
as
an
activity measure. The cost managers collected data from NOCV on “touches”
by the various order types. Every order, whether automatically provisioned or
manually provisioned by the FAC, is represented by a job in NOCV. NOCV
contains a comprehensive statistical view of order activity from all sources.
GTE pulled data from NOCV to determine the number of orders routed to the
FAC for manual assignment and the cost of provisioning those orders.
The task cost for a DSO order depends
on
the order type and service type. DSO
orders require from one to three touches in the FAC. For AdvancedSpecial
Complex UNEAINE-P orders, the task cost is developed by weighting the
FAC cost per line, the HiCap Prework group cost per line, and the
OSP
Engineering
cost
per line.
If the order requires a manual switch update,
an
additional FAC touch is
added to the cost per line.
