Why Quality in Service?
You face a special challenge: Meet customer needs while remaining economically competitive. Automated processes can make an impact, but services are still labor-intensive. There can be no substitute for high-quality personal interaction between service employees and customers. Use quality practices to:
- Understand and improve operational processes.
- Identify problems quickly and systematically.
- Establish valid and reliable service performance measures.
- Measure customer satisfaction and other performance outcomes.
