as a key performance indicator with in business and is part of the four perspectives of

satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key element
of business strategy.

products perceived performance in relation to the persons expectation. $hus the
satisfaction level is a function of the difference between perceived performance and
expectations.
.ustomer satisfaction is an abstract concept and the actual manifestation of the state
of satisfaction will vary from person to person and product5service to product5service.
$he state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and physical
variables which correlate with satisfaction behaviours such as return and recommend
rate. the level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other factors the customer,
such as other products against which the customer can compare the organizations

IPORTANCE O& CUSTOER SATIS&ACTION
.ustomer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the
products and services provided by a business. .ustomer satisfaction levels can be
measured using survey techni7ues and 7uestionnaires. 8aining high levels of
customer satisfaction is very important to a business because satisfied customers are
most likely to be loyal and to make repeated orders and to use a wide range of
services offered by a business.
$he need to satisfy customer for success in any commercial enterprises is very
obvious. $he income of all commercial enterprises is derived from the payments
received for the products and services to its external customers. .ustomers are the
sole reason for the existence of commercial establishments.

0atisfaction is the feeling of pleasure or disappointment attained from comparing a
products perceived performance *outcome+ in relation to his or her expectations. If the
performance falls short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the
performance matches the expectations, the customer is satisfied. If the performance
exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satisfied or delighted.

Measuring customer satisfaction provides an indication of how successful the
organization is at providing products and5or services to the marketplace.
.ustomer satisfaction is an abstract concept and the actual manifestation of the state
of satisfaction will vary from person to person and product5service to product5service.
$he state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and physical
variables which correlate with satisfaction behaviors such as return and recommend
rate. $he level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other factors the customer,
such as other products against which the customer can compare the organization>s
products.

satisfaction with a service by using the gap between the customer>s expectation of
performance and their perceived experience of performance. $his provides the

$aylor extended the disconfirmation theory by combining the EgapE described by
&arasuraman, @eithaml and Aerry as two different measures *perception and
expectation+ into a single measurement of performance relative to expectation.
$he usual measures of customer satisfaction involve a survey with a set of statements
using a Bikert $echni7ue or scale. $he customer is asked to evaluate each statement in
terms of their perception and expectation of performance of the service being
measured.

1./ DE&ININ+ CUSTOER SATIS&ACTION
Aecause the concept of customer satisfaction is new to many companies, it>s
important to be clear on exactly what>s meant by the term.
.ustomer satisfaction is the state of mind that customers have about a company when
their expectations have been met or exceeded over the lifetime of the product or
service. $he achievement of customer satisfaction leads to company loyalty and
product repurchase. $here are some important implications of this definition)
Aecause customer satisfaction is a subHective, non7uantitative state, measurement
won>t be exact and will re7uire sampling and statistical analysis.
.ustomer satisfaction measurement must be undertaken with an understanding of
the gap between customer expectations and attribute performance perceptions.
$here should be some connection between customer satisfaction measurement and
bottom"line results.
D
Pad#as$ree Instit!te O% anage#ent St!dies
S.A. Engineering Works (India) Pvt. Ltd
E0atisfactionE itself can refer to a number of different facts of the relationship with a
customer. :or example, it can refer to any or all of the following)
0atisfaction with the 7uality of a particular product or service
0atisfaction with an ongoing business relationship
0atisfaction with the price"performance ratio of a product or service
0atisfaction because a product5service met or exceeded the customer>s expectations
2ach industry could add to this list according to the nature of the business and the
specific relationship with the customer. .ustomer satisfaction measurement variables
will differ depending on what type of satisfaction is being researched. :or example,
manufacturers typically desire on"time delivery and adherence to specifications, so
measures of satisfaction taken by suppliers should include these critical variables.
.learly defining and understanding customer satisfaction can help any company
identify opportunities for product and service innovation and serve as the basis for
performance appraisal and reward systems. It can also serve as the basis for a
customer satisfaction surveying program that can ensure that 7uality improvement
efforts are properly focused on issues that are most important to the customer.

1.0 UNDERSTANDIN+ DI&&ERIN+ CUSTOER ATTITUDES
$he most basic obHective of a customer satisfaction surveying program is to generate
valid and consistent customer feedback *i.e., to receive the voice of the customer,
which can then be used to initiate strategies that will retain customers and thus protect
the most valuable corporate asset""loyal customers+.
%s it>s determined what needs to be measured and how the data relate to loyalty and
repurchase, it becomes important to examine the mind"set of customers the instant
they are re7uired to make a pre"purchase *or repurchase+ decision or a
recommendation decision. 0urveying these decisions leads to measures of customer
loyalty. In general, the customer>s pre"purchase mind"set will fall into one of three
categories""reHection *will avoid purchasing if at all possible+, acceptance *satisfied,
but will shop for a better deal+, and5or preference *delighted and may even purchase at
a higher price+.
$his highly subHective system that customers themselves apply to their decisions is
based primarily on input from two sources)
$he customers> own experiences""each time they experience a product or service,
deciding whether that experience is great, neutral or terrible. $hese are known as
Emoments of truth.E
$he experiences of other customers""each time they hear something about a
company, whether it>s great, neutral or terrible. $his is known as Eword"of"mouth.E

#I
Pad#as$ree Instit!te O% anage#ent St!dies
S.A. Engineering Works (India) Pvt. Ltd
$here is obviously a strong connection between these two inputs. %n exceptional
experience leads to strong word"of"mouth recommendations. 0trong
recommendations influence the experience of the customer, and many successful
companies have capitalized on that link.
Jow does a customer satisfaction surveying manager make the connection between
the survey response and the customer>s attitude or mind"set regarding loyaltyK
3esearch conducted by both corporate and academic researchers shows a relationship
between survey measurements and the degree of preference or reHection that a
customer might have accumulated. ?hen the customer is asked a customer
satisfaction 7uestion, the customer>s degree of loyalty mind"set *or attitude+ will be an
accumulation of all past experiences and exposures that can be indicated as a score
from # *very dissatisfied+ to < *very satisfied+. It can also be captured with other
response formats with an odd number of choices *e.g., # to 6 or # to G+ to allow for a
neutral response.
=bviously, the goal of every company should be to develop customers with a
preference attitude *i.e., we all want the coveted preferred vendor status such that the
customer, when given a choice, will choose our company+, but it takes continuous
customer experience management, which means customer satisfaction measurement,
to get there""and even more effort to stay there.

5ridge 5et6een an!%a"t!rer And C!sto#er.
%s the worldwide 7uality revolution enters its fifth decade, demand by customers for
products of progressively higher 7uality continues to accelerate */esatnick, #CDC+ $he
response by a growing number of business firms worldwide in implementing 7uality
improvement has reinforced such expectations. Jowever, while increasing numbers
of companies know that 7uality is important, $om &eters reports that .2=s seldom do
anything about it *&eters, #CDG+. In a discussion on customer satisfaction by a group
of .2=s reported in .hief 2xecutive *0ept."=ct., #CDC+, one of the problems
mentioned by the .2= of 07uare / .orporation was the need to change from a
product or engineering focus to a focus on customer"driven 7uality.
$his paper provides a definition of 7uality for total customer satisfaction that serves
as a bridge between manufacturer and customer. $hrough the use of a simple process
flow chart that identifies the critical elements of 7uality for manufactured products
and the characteristics that closely define those elements, the definition of 7uality
developed by 8arvin *#CDG+ is both enhanced and made practical. =ur expanded
definition provides a format for seeking information from customers about those
elements and characteristics that are specific to the producer and for organizing them
after they are received. It addresses the second of /eming>s fourteen points *#CDF+
which calls for the adoption of the new philosophy of continuous improvement, and
provides a means to overcome his complaint that Ebusinesses seldom learn of their
customer>s dissatisfaction.E It does not address the means by which such information
is gathered, nor does it offer a theoretical basis for applying such inputs in the
workplace. $his is left for later research. %s a matter of interest a brief description is
included toward the end of the definition>s origin.
#4
Pad#as$ree Instit!te O% anage#ent St!dies
S.A. Engineering Works (India) Pvt. Ltd
$he definition, which recognizes that characteristics differ in importance
among producers, is consistent with the continuous improvement philosophy in that it
evolves and reinforces the need for manufacturers to look beyond the production
process for new strategic opportunities. $he definition is limited to products, because
of the apparent difference in definition re7uired for services *see &arasuraman, et al,
#CD<, or @eithaml, et al, #CCI, for one approach to service 7uality+.
It is now commonly accepted that 7uality should apply company"wide.
Jowever, neither researchers nor practitioners in 7uality have yet supplied a
definition that is easily operationalized. :or example, /eming *#CDF+ suggests that
7uality is defined by the customer and has many measurement scales, one for each of
the characteristics the customer considers important. =n the other hand, Luran *#CDC+
defines 7uality as Efitness for use,E with each product having multiple 7uality
characteristics of two kinds) customer"desired product features and freedom from
deficiencies. ?hile both /eming>s and Luran>s definitions are customer"oriented, they
are not easily used in gaining customer input to the 7uality improvement process.
.rosby *#CGC+ comes closer to an operational definition when he defines 7uality as
Econformance to re7uirements,E because a set of specifications can often be created
that define the product from the viewpoint of the customer, serving as a de facto
means of feedback.
