Each call center company has its net objective and goal to achieve. This study uses suitable performance measures to evaluate a current call center model. The measures are average waiting time in queue and call abandonment rate. To evaluate the performance of a call center, one suitable technique is a simulation. The objective of this study is developing a generic simulation model and evaluate the results of the performance measure regarding average waiting time in queue and call abandonment rate. The main two goals are using as a benchmark analysis. The solution yielded from the proposed model is proven to be efficient and able to achieve the manager’s goal.} }
