Hello,

CKE has hired FM Projects as a consultant to help us select a new R&M software system and to use the new technology to improve our processes. We want and value your input in designing this new system. They have created this anonymous survey to request your help. We would like to ask for your thoughts and insights into how you currently perform your daily tasks and what could be improved. We appreciate whatever time you can give to answer some questions and provide feedback about our services and what you would like to see in the future. Please answer the questions openly and honestly knowing that all feedback will be considered in developing our new process and selecting the software that will be used by you and your team.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
 
 
 
The current primary work flow process is that a phone call is made to the Voice Mail System (VM System) by a person who represents a certain restaurant (Unit).

The person who calls will either be a General Manager, Shift Lead or District Manager. That person will leave a voicemail identifying the Unit number, purpose of the call, equipment type,time of call.

The VM System sends out a pager message to the lead tech or tech assigned to the callers unit and is checked by the technician. The technician will then accept the work request or forward to another to process. When the request is accepted by a technician, they will first call the store and ask for the calling person and begin troubleshooting the problem over the phone. Questions may range from checking the fittings, making sure power is available, turned on or visually sound. If the work request is not able to be resolved at that time the technician will drive to the store to complete the work.

Once the work is complete, the technician will ask the Unit person in charge if there is other approved work to be performed. Technician will perform the work if there is any new requests. Since technician is onsite they may perform any existing PM work for that store if it is due.

All work performed will be written on the work order invoice document including time, cost of parts, work type, store number and other pertinent information. Work order invoice document is signed by GM or Shift Supervisor to acknowledge the work has been completed. Technician adds time spent including travel and misc. time on the daily time log sheet. All sheets are turned in to lead and/or facilities manager by end of week or first thing Monday morning.
