Repair of a broken cable (121) is effectuated with reduced down time by first automatically establishing the location where the cable is broken. Once the location of the break in the cable is established, then the location of each of a plurality of repair technicians (161-163) is automatically established. Thereafter, processor (20) accesses a data base (22) information about the availability of each technician, the technicians' equipment, and skill. From the information in the data base, as well as from information regarding each technicians proximity to the broken cable, the processor (20) selects one or more technicians and thereafter automatically dispatches the selected technicians to the site of the broken cable to complete the necessary repairs. <IMAGE> |
