Project A

Top of Form

The ABC Manufacturing Company is a large, Australian company, based in Sydney. It has been operating for approximately 17 years. It manufactures good quality products which are exported to all states. It has a regular line of supply to a well-established group of customers.

The CEO is concerned and has called a meeting of department heads and on-line managers. Business has been dropping and budgetary targets will not be met if something is not done quickly. Operations and production levels are fine. Product quality is good and meeting specifications. Yet sales have dropped. You have been called together to identify and solve the problem/s. How will you go about it?

There are two obvious problems here. You will need to address the possibility of both and indicate possible root causes for each.

In finding a solution to the problems, you will need to consider:

· markets and market segments

· customers—their needs, wants and expectations and your methods of determining them

· customer focus and what that means

· competition

· promotion and advertising—promising and delivering

· in-house attitudes toward customers—training in customer service

· service levels and styles

· customer feedback and complaints management—processes and procedures for managing, recording and using customer complaints and suggestions as part of the continuous improvement process

· the impact of internal and external change factors

· any other factors you consider to be relevant

Explain how and why you think these problems have arisen and write a proposal (600-800 words), to be presented to the CEO outlining:

What the problems are and how you believe they can be overcome.

Your proposal should include:

· a description of the problem/s

· a list of options or alternatives for solving them

· a description of the processes used to generate these alternatives

· a suggested course of action based on the best options outlined

· strategies for resolving the issues, and justification of those strategies

· any costs involved

· the personnel who should be involved, and their roles

· the expected outcomes of the interventions

· a statement of the likely outcomes if the interventions are not implemented

· any relevant legislation

Scenario:

XYZ Electronics Pty Ltd is a retailer of phones, computers, DVDs, and other consumer electronics, with stores in many of the largest shopping malls in Austraila. Recently it has become an Internet Service Provider (ISP), in competition with Optus, Vodaphone, TPG and so on. Staff deal with customers by phone, by chatting via their web site, by contact and complaint forms on their web site, and in person at the stores.

You have been tasked with helping the Customer Service Manager at XYZ to design, develop and administer a customer service survey, containing at least six (6) questions, to be administered to a selection of XYZ’s customers, in order to judge their satisfaction with the level of service you provide.

Instructions:

· Ask at least five (5) friends, colleagues or family members to play the roles of XYZ customers

· On a separate page of your survey, explain:

· How you would administer the survey and how you would encourage customers to complete the survey sheet. (20-30 words)

· How you think customer responses to the survey questions would aid in diagnosing any problems your organisation might have in matching service delivery to customer needs and expectations. (20-30 words)

· How the survey results might be used to develop options for improved service and to provide relevant and constructive advice promoting the improvement of customer service delivery. (20-30 words)

· Ask the five (5) simulated customers to complete the survey and return the results to you.

· Collect and collate the results

· Discuss the results in a report, addressing these questions: (80-100 words)

· Were there any surprises and what were they?

· How will you communicate this information and to whom?

· Why is it important for these people to know the results of the survey?

· What is its importance to you, your division and your organisation?

· How can this information be used to increase your market share?

Submit for assessment in a single document:

· the survey you created

· a description of how it was administered (i.e. online, hard copy, etc.) and to whom

· the answers to the questions relating to the adminstration of the survey

· a statement of the number of people who responded and the percentage response
