ПРИМЕР 2

This report deals with the number of customer’s complaints between January 2006 and March 2006 as well as with reasons for those complaints. Complaints in January stood at 300, but in February the number rocketed to 540 because of a computer system breakdown. Finally, after introducing some improvement in the order system the number of complaints fell back to 230. We can point out 3 main reasons for these complaints. Firstly, 16% of them were due to incorrect deliveries. In particular, March saw fewer complaints. Secondly, an excessive time for delivery led to 56% of complaints. The whole delivery system will be reviewed in order to solve the problem. Finally, 28% of complaints were due to a lack of quality in our products. This will be solved by setting up a new quality section in our process. On balance, by resolving the mentioned issues the situation has to be improved. |
