Erlang C Calculator

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The Erlang C Calculator is based on the Erlang C traffic model and is used for situations in which telephone calls are queued. This means that it offers a way of calculating the number of call centre agents required if the call volumes are known.

 

The Erlang C Calculator simplifies the complicated calculations required to predict and analyse call centre performance. There are a number of variables involved in such calculations including the number of calls received per hour, the average duration of the calls and the required answering performance.

 

As with the Erlang B Calculator, reverse calculations are possible to answer such questions as:

 

How many calls can the agents handle?
What duration of calls can be handled?
What will the average delay to incoming calls be?
How many calls will be answered within target?
