  12. Customer Testimonials Positive: “I am grateful the system is so easy to use.” “The online Equipment Reservation System is great.” “This system is a vast improvement over the old system which depended upon individual effort and a lot of time to make the arrangements. It basically depended upon "connections" and sometimes those outside of OCWWS. The creator and developer of this system deserve an award!” “…glad to be able to get the wireless cards when I need them.” Opportunity for improvement: “...frequently…a particular piece of equipment that I need is already checked out… wireless cards. This forces me into paying for Internet service at a hotel, spending an inordinate amount of my personal time in the evenings on dialup service, or just being unresponsive to NWS and customer emails.” “It would be nice to see a calendar of when equipment IS available.”

  13. Actionable Information Wireless cards unavailable 33% of the time • Calculate optimal # cards • Analyze reservation request patterns Actions • Increase card/employee ratio from 1/25 to 1/17 (7 cards) • Consider adding reservation calendar

  14. Shared Wireless Cards ROI Annual costs: 29 Cards (w/o sharing) = $24,360 5 Shared cards (actual) = $4,200 7 Shared cards (optimal) = $5,880 Return on Investment (ROI): Actual = $20,160/yr, Optimal = $18,480/yr Increased productivity and morale

  15. Recommendations Reservation System • Greater adoption to maximize NOAA’s ROI • More re-engineering and innovation Innovation in other Areas • Telework • Transportation subsidies • StormReady • Admin and program areas
