Focusing on Customers
44
Key Idea
To create satisfied customers, the organization needs to identify customers needs, design the production and service systems to meet those needs, and measure the results as the basis for improvement.
Importance of Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty

Satisfaction is an attitude; loyalty is a behavior Loyal customers spend more, are willing to pay higher prices, refer new clients, and are less costly to do business with. It costs five times more to find a new customer than to keep an existing one happy. A firm cannot create loyal customers without first creating satisfied customers.
46
Key Idea
Customer wants and needs drive competitive advantage, and statistics show that growth in market share is strongly correlated with customer satisfaction.
Customer Satisfaction Model

Perceived quality Perceived value Customer complaints
Customer satisfaction Customer loyalty
Customer expectations
Customer-Driven Quality Cycle

measurement and feedback
PERCEIVED QUALITY is a comparison of ACTUAL QUALITY to EXPECTED QUALITY
49
Key Idea
Many organizations still focus more on processes and products from an internal perspective, rather than taking the perspective of the external customer.

Key Customer Groups

consumers external customers employees society
Process level
internal customer units or groups
Performer level
individual internal customers

Requirements and feedback
54
Key Idea

Customer Segmentation
Demographics Geography Volumes Profit potential
Key Idea
Segmentation allows a company to prioritize customer groups, for instance by considering for each group the benefits of satisfying their requirements and the consequences of failing to satisfy their requirements.
Key Dimensions of Quality

Performance primary operating characteristics Features bells and whistles Reliability probability of operating for specific time and conditions of use Conformance degree to which characteristics match standards Durability - amount of use before deterioration or replacement Serviceability speed, courtesy, and competence of repair Aesthetics look, feel, sound, taste, smell

59
Kano Model of Customer Needs

Dissatisfiers: expected requirements Satisfiers: expressed requirements Exciters/delighters: unexpected features
60
Key Idea
As customers become familiar with them, exciters/delighters become satisfiers over time. Eventually, satisfiers become dissatisfiers.
Customer Listening Posts

Comment cards and formal surveys Focus groups Direct customer contact Field intelligence Complaint analysis Internet monitoring
62
Key Idea
Companies use a variety of methods, or listening posts, to collect information about customer needs and expectations, their importance, and customer satisfaction with the companys performance on these measures.
Tools for Classifying Customer Requirements

Affinity diagram Tree diagram
Moments of Truth
Every instance in which a customer comes in contact with an employee of the company.

Key Idea
An organization builds customer loyalty by developing trust, communicating with customers, and effectively managing the interactions and relationships with customers through approaches and its people. Companies must carefully select customer contact employees, train them well, and empower them to meet and exceed customer expectations.
Customer Relationship Management

Accessibility and commitments Selecting and developing customer contact employees Relevant customer contact requirements Effective complaint management Strategic partnerships and alliances Exploiting CRM technology
Key Idea
To improve products and processes effectively, companies must do more than simply fix the immediate problem. They need a systematic process for collecting and analyzing complaint data and then using that information for improvements.
Measuring Customer Satisfaction

Discover customer perceptions of business effectiveness Compare companys performance relative to competitors Identify areas for improvement Track trends to determine if changes result in improvements
69
Key Idea
An effective customer satisfaction measurement system results in reliable information about customer ratings of specific product and service features and about the relationship between these ratings and the customers likely future market behavior.
Survey Design
Identify purpose Determine who should conduct the survey Select the appropriate survey instrument Design questions and response scales
Key Idea
The types of questions to ask in a survey must be properly worded to achieve actionable results. By actionable, we mean that responses are tied directly to key business processes, so that what needs to be improved is clear; and information can be translated into cost/revenue implications to support the setting of improvement priorities.
Performance-Importance Analysis

Key Idea
Appropriate customer satisfaction measurement identifies processes that have high impact on satisfaction and distinguishes between low performing processes low performance and those that are performing well.
Difficulties with
Customer Satisfaction Measurement

Poor measurement schemes Failure to identify appropriate quality dimensions Failure to weight dimensions appropriately Lack of comparison with leading competitors Failure to measure potential and former customers Confusing loyalty with satisfaction
Customer Perceived Value

CPV measures how customers assess benefits such as product performance, ease of use, or time savingsagainst costs, such as purchase price,installation cost or time, and so on,in making purchase decisions.
CUSTOMER LOYALTY RELATIONSHIPS

Non-competitive zone Regulated, Monopoly or few substitutes. Dominant Brand Equity. High cost of switching. Powerful Loyalty Prog. Proprietary Technology. Highly competitive zone. Commoditization or low differentiation. Consumer Indifference. Many substitutes. Low cost of Switching
Relationship of Customer Satisfaction and Profitability Total Satisfaction for captive customers Tyranny of Averages Satisfying Target Segments Ultimate Source of Focus: affinity Groups
THE IMPORTANCE OF FOCUS
Organization that have not identified the customers they are targeting have a special handicap in achieving total customer satisfaction and create many merely satisfieds.
Customer tell about only extra-ordinary experience Only on third of the dissatisfied tell but the talk alright.
