Need a new sample 1 Load Research – Process Map MainFrame SAS Obtain Population File (“Pop file”) Identify decision parameters, such as Sample size, error ratio, precision level, etc. in MBSS Parameter Sheet File MBSS/PC SAS Populate MBSS tables with Population Data Metering & Field Operations
1 2 Load Research – Process Map MainFrame SAS Is the precision level within ±10%? Draw Stratified Random Sample from Population File based on given decision criteria Analyze a combination of parameters (e.g. precision level, sample size, error ratio, etc.) for preliminary sample Yes MBSS/PC SAS No Metering & Field Operations
2 3 Load Research – Process Map Run the list of accounts/service numbers against CBMS mirror to obtain additional customer & meter data MainFrame SAS MBSS/PC SAS Metering to install all IDRs for the sample list and report back after the installation of IDRs in the list is complete Send out the sample list with additional variables to metering Metering & Field Operations
3 4 Load Research – Process Map MainFrame SAS MBSS/PC SAS Provide alternate sample IDRs on case-by-case basis Yes Any IDRs not installed due to constraints? Metering & Field Operations Inventory newly installed IDRs into RDS & IDRP databases No
New sample complete 4 Load Research – Process Map Are all samples installed and providing data? MainFrame SAS Periodically audit the IDRP tables against Primary & Alternate sample Lists for completeness (i.e. all newly installed meters have been read at least once) Collection of half-hourly interval data and storing on IDRP Send out the removal list of IDRs that were part of the old sample MBSS/PC SAS Metering & Field Operations
