Details of the process

This is an online tool to help schedule Zicka deliveries and then the follow up delivery of screens/hardware.

Only GS (Gail Stepp) can schedule a delivery. 
Then SHOP (Gary Roetting), PF (Casey Schaffer), WALK (Blaine Sims) log in and provide required info/dates.
Blaine does a "delivery walk thru"  DWALK at time of delivery and notes any info into the system.
Blaine also does an "install walk thru" IWALK after install of windows.
INSTALL_S S--for schedule (Blaine Sims) goes back in and schedules the install.
INSTALL_C C--for complete (Blaine Sims) goes in and marks it as complete

Here it is step by step:

  1. Gail picks a date for delivery of windows (at time of LRD release date) and enters a job number into the system.
    Email goes to Deb at Zicka immediately after scheduling, letting her know that she should pass detail info (color, etc) about the job back to Patti. 

  2. 2 days before delivery of windows, system sends automated emails to:
    A. Shop (Dave Wolf and CC to Gary Roetting) to pull required items out and send to Prefinish (Casey Schaffer) within next 7 days after delivery date 
    B. Blaine to do  (2) "walk-thrus" and note if there are any issues: 1) At time of delivery 2) After windows are installed. 

  3. When step 2A is done, Prefinish  (Casey Schaffer)  is notified via email and system automatically schedules a date for Prefinish to start on this job (Delivery Date + 7 days). 

  4. When Prefinish  (Casey Schaffer)  is done, they will log into the system and note that a prefinish job is complete and ready to be sent to the job site. This send email to INSTALL_S (Blaine Sims). If Prefinish is not done with the job within 14 days, an automated email alert is sent to Tom Frey and Mike Guetle 

  5. INSTALL_S (Blaine Sims) schedules installation of screens/hardware. This sends email to INSTALL_C (Blaine Sims). 

  6. Following installation, INSTALL_C (Blaine Sims) will mark job as complete (with super's signature), or note any issues.

  7. Gail can click on job number in calendar to change a delivery date, or cancel a job.

  8. Blaine can click on job number in calendar to change an install date.
