Report to restoration

From the first outage report to a closed case with verified restoration.

Step by step

  1. Report case Outage Coordinator

    The outage coordinator records the case with the service area, asset reference, affected units, report time and any external incident ID.

    • Case reported
    • Updates Service cases, Service areas
  2. Triage case Outage Coordinator

    The coordinator triages the case and assigns the authorised responder after the organization, incident identity, revision and their own scope are checked.

    • Case triaged and assigned
    • Updates Service cases, Operation receipts
  3. Review evidence Utility Supervisor

    The field crew lead submits evidence and the utility supervisor approves, rejects or returns it with a reason.

    • Evidence approved, rejected or returned
    • Updates Service evidence, Review decisions

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • The same outage is opened several times from different channels.
  • A crew is assigned twice because a triage was sent twice.
  • A case is marked restored from a phone call with no evidence behind it.
