  3. A picture of EIRUS EIRUS User Group of Quality and Reliability Measurements for all kinds of Telecommunication Products

  4. A picture of EIRUS A group of PNOs and suppliers • Quality is a keyword • the goal is to improve quality • Measurement uniformity • reduces the costs for supplier and PNO • Cooperation PNO-supplier • agree on the way to collect and present results • provide feedback • discuss improvement plans

  5. A picture of EIRUS EIRUS • Recommendation of EURESCOM P307 project • Set-up meeting in June 1995 • Rules and procedures • PNO and supplier membership EIRUS = E-IPQM and E-RQMS Users

  6. A picture of EIRUS Which measurements ? • E-IPQM • based on IPQM (In Process Quality Metrics), Bellcore GR-1315-CORE • E-RQMS • based on RQMS (Reliability and Quality Measurements for Telecommunications Systems), Bellcore GR-929-CORE

  7. Presentation outline • A picture of EIRUS • Objectives • Activities • Future activities • Conclusion

  8. Objectives EIRUS Objectives • implement the E-IPQM and E-RQMS measurements • formulate a consensus on change requests to E-IPQM and E-RQMS to preserve uniformity • find best solutions and practices • learn from experiences of other EIRUS members • provide input to system user groups on the issue of quality measurements • promote the knowledge about E-IPQM and E-RQMS

  9. Belgacom BT Deutsche Telekom OTE Greece Swisscom PTT Telecom Telecom Finland Telecom Italia Telenor Telia Alcatel Ascom Hasler AG Bosch Telecom ECI Telecom Ericsson GPT Italtel Lucent Technologies Nortel Siemens Objectives EIRUS Members

  10. Objectives Telecommunication products • Applicable for all telecommunication products • Status as of 1997 :

  11. Presentation outline • A picture of EIRUS • Objectives • Activities • Future activities • Conclusion

  12. Activities Implementation of measurements • Task of each individual PNO - supplier interface • IPQM metrics during development of the product e.g. - Software System Size - Test Tracking - Milestone Monitoring • RQMS measurements during operation e.g. - System Outage Performance - Problem Reports - Fix Response Time

  13. Activities Phased implementation • Phase 0 : January - June 1996 • 2 RQMS + 3 IPQM • Phase 1 : July 1996 - June 1998 • additional : 9 RQMS + 3 IPQM • Phase 2 : October 1997 - June 1999 • all RQMS, all IPQM

  14. Activities Why a phased approach ? • Learning phase for PNO and suppliers • Start introduction of E-IPQM/E-RQMS quickly by using a small set of measurements • Requested by the suppliers

  15. Activities Keep measurements uniform • Background • Some measurements need system specific interpretations • European situation different from USA • New developments and products • Evolution in Bellcore

  16. Activities Keep measurements uniform • EIRUS Issue List mechanism • to manage in a structured way implementation problems and questions • PNOs and supplier can raise an issue, e.g. • for clarification • to propose a deviation from Bellcore definitions • Issues are discussed on EIRUS meetings • Decisions help PNOs and suppliers

  17. Activities Working groups • to work between meetings on specific topics e.g. • application of IPQM for Object Oriented development • EIRUS procedures • Measurement topics • Fault Fix History • Patches

  18. Presentation outline • A picture of EIRUS • Objectives • Activities • Future activities • Conclusion

  19. Future activities Next meeting • Next EIRUS meeting on 24-26 March 1998 in Rome • New PNOs or suppliers are welcome • Agenda • Status of implementation • EIRUS Issue List • Results of working group • Bellcore tool for IPQM and RQMS • Phase 2 • P619 Task 4 results

  20. Future activities Information on EIRUS • Internet • An information package is available upon request • Rules and procedures • Membership application form • General info • http://www.eurescom.de/public/newpub.htm

  21. Presentation outline • A picture of EIRUS • Objectives • Activities • Future activities • Conclusion

  22. Conclusions Conclusions • EIRUS is a useful forum to • discuss implementation of quality measurements • learn from and share experiences with other EIRUS members • maintain the interface between PNOs and suppliers • keep uniformity in the measurements • to reduce cost for supplier and thus for PNOs • products with a good quality and at low cost
