Unbundled Network Element
(UNE)
Non-Recurring Cost Study
customers throughout the state. BZTs install the unbundled loop and sub-loop orders for
three or more lines within the business zones in metropolitan areas of the state.
The cost team used data from the following sources for CZTBZT drive time and cross-
connect activity times to calculate the outside plant NRCs:
+
Time and motion study for drive time and cross-connects at the
FDI,
cross-connect
box, pedestaypole, and
NID;
+
Reports from Service Office Record Computer Entry System (SORCES) and the
Standard Time and Activity Reporting (STAR) system for probability of dispatch,
productive hours, and number and type of orders and corresponding lines;
SME estimates for services such
as
Coordinated Conversions and Hot Cut
Coordinated Conversions.
A
Time and Motion Study
A team of Arthur Andersen personnel conducted time and motion studies in six states to
determine the CZTBZT drive times from point-to-point during the normal workday. The
study included timed observations of the technicians running and breaking cross-connects
at various terminal locations in the feeder, distribution and
drop
plant. The drive times
are used for all of the CZTBZT
UNE
activities. The cost team applied the cross-connect
and drive times to the CZTBZT sub-loop activities.
Svstem Extracts
The cost team obtained completed order files from SORCES to identify the type of
service being installed or removed, and the number of lines
on
the order. They matched
the SORCES records with STAR data to categorize the dispatched orders into the
UNE
categories: Exchange
-
Basic or Complex and AdvancedSpecial
-
Basic or Complex.
Then the cost team used the STAR positive time reporting data to identify the average
time spent
on
field work performed by CZTsBZTs for each of the
UNE
categories.
The
“%
Load” data from SORCES and STAR were used to determine the probability of
dispatch for the Exchange
-
Basic and Complex loops and UNE-Ps. For many services
there is
no
outside plant work. For example, loops may be connected through from the
customer’s premises to the cable head
on
the
MDF
because of EDT and LIJ procedures.
Also,
when a CLEC migrates an existing end-user POTS to the UNE platform, there will
generally be
no
outside plant activity.
The Probability of Occurrence of outside plant work for the Advanced/Special -Basic
and Complex Loops requiring a field trip is
100%.
All inward digital loops

and higher) require cross-connect work. The BZT downloads the job from
AWAS,
completes the field work, cooperatively tests the line(s), and reports completion. The
probability of field work for disconnect orders is
100%.
