Soft Boundaries and Customer First are two default scheduling policies that meet the requirement of committing preferred resources to accounts and providing prompt service. Soft Boundaries prioritize resources that are assigned to the same account or service territory as the service appointment. Customer First prioritize resources that have the highest customer satisfaction rating.

Scheduling, dispatching, and knowledge base are three field service processes that can help reduce the mean- time-to-service. Scheduling is the process of assigning service appointments to resources based on their availability, skills, and location. Dispatching is the process of sending service appointments to resources and tracking their status and location. Knowledge base is a repository of articles that provide information and solutions for common issues and questions.

Global optimization is a feature that allows rescheduling multiple service appointments at once based on predefined criteria such asemergency priority, travel time, or skills[194]. Global optimization would allow Universal Containers to realign available resources with open work by running an optimization job that prioritizes emergency work and assigns it to the best available resources[195]. Resource Schedule Optimization is a feature that allows scheduling service appointments for individual resources based on their availability and preferences[196]. Resource Schedule Optimization would not allow Universal Containers to realign available resources with open work because it does not consider multiple resources or service appointments at once. Emergency scheduling is a feature that allows creating and assigning emergency service appointments to the best available resources[197]. Emergency scheduling would not allow Universal Containers to realign available resources with open work because it does not reschedule existing service appointments. Customer First scheduling is a feature that allows prioritizing customer preferences and satisfaction when scheduling service appointments[198]. Customer First scheduling would not allow Universal Containers to realign available resources with open work because it does not prioritize emergency work or reschedule existing service appointments.

Generation Horizon is a setting that defines how far in advance work orders should be generated from maintenance plans[126]. Defining a generation horizon of 14 days would allow Universal Containers to automatically generate Work Orders 14days before the next suggested maintenance date by creating work orders from maintenance plans within 14 days of their scheduled date[127]. Defining a generation timeframe of 14 days would not automatically generate Work Orders 14 days before the next suggested maintenance date. Generation Timeframe is a setting that defines how often work orders should be generated from maintenance plans[128]. Configuring Auto-generate Work Orders to True would not automatically generate Work Orders 14 days before the next suggested maintenance date. Auto-generate Work Orders is a setting that enables or disables the automatic generation of work orders from maintenance plans[129]. Defining a generation horizon of 20,160 minutes would not automatically generate Work Orders14 days before the next suggested maintenance date. Generation Horizon is measured in days, not minutes[130].
