Automobile:
The growth of the Indian middle class along with the growth of the economy over the past few years has attracted global auto majors to the Indian market. Moreover, India provides trained manpower at competitive costs making India a favored global manufacturing hub. The attractiveness of the Indian markets on one hand and the stagnation of the auto sector in markets such as Europe, US and Japan on the other have resulted in shifting of new capacities and flow of capital to the Indian automobile industry. Global auto majors such as Japanese auto majors Suzuki, Honda and Korean car giant Hyundai are increasingly banking on their Indian operations to add weight to their businesses, even as numbers stay uncertain in developed markets due to economic recession and slowdown. Moreover, according to a study released by global consultancy firm Deloitte, at least one Indian company will be among the top six carmakers that would dominate the global auto industry by 2020. According to the study, the car industry would see a massive capacity building in low-cost locations like India and China as manufacturers shift base from developed regions.

Production Although the sector was hit by economic slowdown, overall production (passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, two wheelers and three wheelers) increased from 10.85 million vehicles in 2007-08 to 11.17 million vehicles in 2008-09. Passenger vehicles increased marginally from 1.77 million to 1.83 million while two-wheelers increased from 8.02 million to 8.41 million.

In recent times, India has emerged as one of the favorite investment destinations for automotive manufacturers.
y

German car major Audi will start assembling its sports utility vehicle Audi Q5 from mid2010. The company plans to assemble more cars locally at its Aurangabad plant instead of importing completely built units (CBUs).

Ford India commenced commercial production of its compact car Figo, and diesel and petrol engines at a new factory in Chennai. The Figo will be built exclusively in India and exported to Asian countries and South Africa.

Japanese major Nissan has decided to shift the entire production of its small car, Micra, from the UK to India. After production of the Micra begins here, Nissan plans to manufacture four more models in India, involving a total investment of over US$ 412.2 million.

Suzuki Motorcycle India (SMIPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japanese auto major Suzuki Motor Corporation, plans to double production capacity of its two-wheelers to 300,000 units by the end of the current fiscal year. The company will invest US$ 26.77 million.

Volkswagen has set a target to localize production in India to about 80 per cent in 2-3 years from the current levels of almost 50 per cent as it seeks to offer cars at more competitive prices.

Domestic Market According to figures released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), domestic passenger car sales have increased 32.28 per cent to reach 145,905 units in January 2010 from 110,300 units in the same month last year. Across all categories, total sale of vehicles increased 44.94 per cent to 1,114,157 units in January 2010, against 768,698 units in the January 2009.

Road Ahead The Indian auto industry is likely to see a growth of 10-12 per cent in sales in 2010, according to a report by the global rating firm, Fitch. According to its report, Indian Auto Sector Outlook, competition in the country's auto sector is likely to increase due to increasing penetration of global original equipment manufacturers (OEM). LIMITATIONS THAT OCCURRED IN INDUSTRY The automobile industry has to address the following issues at all the stages of vehicle manufacture:
y y y

Environmental Imperatives Safety Requirements Competitive Pressures and


Page 18

ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES

There is a strong interlinking amongst all these forces of change, influencing the automobile industry. These have to be addressed consistently and strategically to ensure competitiveness. Since pollution is caused by various sources, it requires an integrated, multidisciplinary approach. The different sources of pollution have to be addressed simultaneously in order to stall widespread damage.

PARAMETERS DETERMINING EMISSION FROM VEHICLES Vehicular Technology


y y y

Fuel Quality Inspection & Maintenance of In-Use Vehicles Road and Traffic Management

While each one of the four factors mentioned above have direct environmental implications, the vehicle and fuel systems have to be addressed as a whole and jointly optimized in order to achieve significant reduction in emission.

VEHICULAR TECHNOLOGY In India, the vehicle population is growing at rate of over 5% per annum and today the vehicle population is approximately 40 million. The vehicle mix is also unique to India in that there is a very high proportion of two wheelers (76%). The significant environmental implications of vehicles cannot be denied. The need to reduce vehicular pollution has led to emission control through regulations in conjunction with increasingly environment-friendly technologies. It was only in 1991 that the first stage emission norms came into force for petrol vehicles and in 1992 for diesel vehicles. From April 1995 mandatory fitment of catalytic converters in new petrol passenger cars sold in the four metros of Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai and Chennai along with supply of Unleaded Petrol (ULP) was affected. Availability of ULP was further extended to 42 major cities and now it is available throughout the country. The emission reduction achieved from pre-89 levels is over 85% for petrol driven and 61% for diesel vehicles from 1991 levels. ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES
Page 19

In the year 2000 passenger cars and commercial vehicles will be meeting Euro I equivalent India 2000 norms, while two wheelers will be meeting one of the tightest emission norms in the world. Euro II equivalent Bharat Stage II norms are in force from 2001 in 4 metros of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. Since India embarked on a formal emission control regime only in 1991, there is a gap in comparison with technologies available in the USA or Europe. Currently, we are behind Euro norms by few years, however, a beginning has been made, and emission norms are being aligned with Euro standards and vehicular technology is being accordingly upgraded. Vehicle manufactures are also working towards bridging the gap between Euro standards and Indian emission norms. FUEL TECHNOLOGY In India we are yet to address the vehicle and fuel system as a whole. It was in 1996 that the Ministry of Environment and Forests formally notified fuel specifications. Maximum limits for critical ingredients like Benzene level in petrol have been specified only recently and a limit of 5% m/m and 3% m/m has been set for petrol in the country and metros respectively. In place of phase-wise up gradation of fuel specifications there appears to be a region-wise introduction of fuels of particular specifications. The high levels of pollution have necessitated eliminating leaded petrol, through out the country. To address the high pollution in 4 metro cities 0.05% sulphur petrol & diesel has been introduced since 2000-2001. The benzene content has been further reduced to 1% in Delhi and Mumbai. There is a need for a holistic approach so that up gradation in engine technology can be optimized for maximum environmental benefits. Other factors influencing emission from vehicles.

INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE (I&M) OF IN-USE VEHICLES It has been estimated that at any point of time, new vehicle comprise only 8% of the total vehicle population. In India currently only transport vehicles, that is, vehicles used for hire or reward are required to undergo periodic fitness certification. The large population of personalized vehicles is not yet covered by any such mandatory requirement.

ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES

Page 20

In most countries that have been able to control vehicular pollution to a substantial extent, Inspection & Maintenance of all categories of vehicles have been one of the chief tools used. Developing countries in the South East Asian region, which till a few years back had severe air pollution problem have introduced an I&M system and also effective traffic management.

ROAD & TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Inadequate and poor quality of road surface leads to increased Vehicle Operation Costs and also increased pollution. It has been estimated that improvements in roads will result in savings of about 15% of Vehicle Operation Costs.

CONCLUSION The need for an integrated, holistic approach for controlling vehicular emission cannot be over-emphasised. More importantly, it is time now for the auto and oil industry to come together under the guidance of the Government in evolving fuel quality standards and vehicular technology to meet air quality targets.

RECENT UPDATED ISSUES OCCURRED IN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY India's April car sales rise 39.5%, best in a decade

New Delhi: Sales figure for the month of April 2010 are out and the growth registered by the automotive industry in various segments is impressive. Passenger vehicles sales in April 2010 grew by 33.93% to 1,82,181 units, reports Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). The growth within this segment was largely driven by a 39.48% growth witnessed in passenger car sales. Commercial Vehicles segment recorded a significant growth of 64.49% at 49,086 over 29,842 in the same period last year. Three wheelers segment witnessed a sales increase of 20.41% over April 2009.

Domestic car sales up by 32 per cent: SIAM According to the figures released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), domestic passenger car sales have increased 32.28 per cent at 145,905 units in January from 110,300 units in the same month last year. Motorcycle sales in the country during the month also increased by 43.69 per cent at 650,633 units, compared with 452,809 units in the corresponding month last year as per SIAM. Two-wheeler sales in January 2010 grew by 43.43 per cent to 834,383 units from 581,729 units in January 2009. Commercial vehicles sales also rose over two-fold during last month to 53,447 units from 23,154 units in the year-ago period, it added. Across all categories, total sale of vehicles increased 44.94 per cent to 1,114,157 units in January 2010, against 768,698 units in the January 2009.

Auto industry records highest ever sales this financial year New Delhi: The domestic auto industry is set to hit an all-time high sales figure of 12.2 million units in 2009-10, surpassing the previous sales record of 10.1 million units in 2006-07.

The strong growth is in terms of passenger car volumes, two-wheelers and commercial vehicles. This also represents a growth of 25.48 per cent over 2008-09 (9.7 million units). The phenomenal growth rides on the back of a low base, new launches primarily in the compact car category lowers interest rates and the 4 per cent reduction in excise duty as part of the fiscal stimulus.

Rajiv Dube, president, Tata Motors, said: The 25 per cent growth in 2009-10 is a two-year growth happening in just one year as the last financial year was nearly flat. If financing continues, as over 60 per cent of the vehicles are purchased on finance, it is expected that the demand would be sustainable in the medium to long term though it may not be as high as this.

The growth for 2009-10 would also be more than double of what the industry had predicted earlier. At the beginning of the financial year, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam) had predicted low single-digit growth for the sector. Later, the figure was revised to low double-digit growth following a spurt in sales during the festive months. ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES
Page 23

The Indian automobile industry has recovered faster than any other market, post the global meltdown and we expect sales to cross the 12 million unit mark in 2009-10. Out of these passenger vehicles will be approximately 2 million units this time, Dilip Chenoy, director general, Siam, said.

As per Siam, passenger vehicle sales in the country have gone up by 26.1 per cent between April and February at 1,750,139 units, as compared to 1,387,545 units in the corresponding period of the last fiscal.

March has always been a high growth year for the industry and this time also we expect the overall industry to grow by over 30 per cent by this month end compared to the same period last year. This, despite the two consecutive hike in car prices and a marginal increase in interest rates, Ankush Arora, vice president (sales and marketing), General Motors India, said.

However, according to Rakesh Batra, national leader (automotive sector), Ernst &Young, the higher base of the ongoing financial year will have a slowdown effect in the coming months. The overall industry is expected to grow by around 15 per cent in 2010-11 and then it would slow down to anywhere between 10 and 15 per cent growth on a sustainable basis for the next three to four years.

The sector got a major boost from the government stimulus last year and this could have a lowering effect on sales in the coming financial year as the base is exceptionally high. Moreover, if new emission norms come into force, there could be another 3-4 per cent hike in car prices that would impact sales in the long run, Abdul Majeed, analyst and partner, Price Waterhouse explained.

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA The automobile industry in India is the seventh largest in the world with an annual production of over 2.6 million units in 2009. In 2009, India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of automobiles, behind Japan, South Korea and Thailand. By 2050, the country is expected to top the world in car volumes with approximately 611 million vehicles on the nation's roads. The automotive industry designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and sells the world's motor vehicles. In 2009, more than 60 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide following economic liberalization in India in 1991, the Indian automotive industry has demonstrated sustained growth as a result of increased competitiveness and relaxed restrictions. Several Indian automobile manufacturers such as Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra and Mahindra, expanded their domestic and international operations. India's robust economic growth led to the further expansion of its domestic automobile market which attracted significant India-specific investment by multinational automobile manufacturers. In February 2009, monthly sales of passenger cars in India exceeded 100,000 units. Embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. Following the independence, in 1947, the Government of India and the private sector launched efforts to create an automotive component manufacturing industry to supply to the automobile industry. However, the growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s due to nationalisation and the license raj which hampered the Indian private sector. After 1970, the automotive industry started to grow, but the growth was mainly driven by tractors, commercial vehicles and scooters. Cars were still a major luxury. Japanese manufacturers entered the Indian market ultimately leading to the establishment of Maruti Udyog. A number of foreign firms initiated joint ventures with Indian companies. In the 1980s, a number of Japanese manufacturers launched joint-ventures for building motorcycles and light commercial-vehicles. It was at this time that the Indian government chose Suzuki for its joint-venture to manufacture small cars. Following the economic liberalisation in 1991 and the gradual weakening of the license raj, a number of Indian and multi-national car companies launched operations. Since then, automotive component and automobile manufacturing growth has accelerated to meet domestic and export demands. ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES

Exports India has emerged as one of the world's largest manufacturers of small cars. According to New York Times, India's strong engineering base and expertise in the manufacturing of low-cost, fuel-efficient cars has resulted in the expansion of manufacturing facilities of several automobile companies like Hyundai Motors, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen and Suzuki. In 2008, Hyundai Motors alone exported 240,000 cars made in India. Nissan Motors plans to export 250,000 vehicles manufactured in its India plant by 2011. Similarly, General Motors announced its plans to export about 50,000 cars manufactured in India by 2011. In September 2009, Ford Motors announced its plans to setup a plant in India with an annual capacity of 250,000 cars for US$500 million. The cars will be manufactured both for the Indian market and for export. The company said that the plant was a part of its plan to make India the hub for its global production business. Fiat Motors also announced that it would source more than US$1 billion worth auto components from India.

INTERNATATIONAL OPERATATIONS

Born around the same time as independent India, Mahindra is like a microcosm of the country of its birth. Indeed, few groups can identify as closely with Indias destiny and industrial progress as the Mahindra Group. Established in 1945 as a franchise for assembling jeeps from Willys, USA, the company soon began manufacturing light commercial vehicles and agricultural tractors, emerging as one of Indias leading auto brands. Today, the Mahindra Group is a leading manufacturer of multi-utility vehicles with significant presence in key sectors like automotive, farm equipment, financial services, trade and logistics, automotive components, after-market, IT and infrastructure. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M) is the leader in the Utility Vehicle (UV) segment in India and also manufactures passenger cars, three-wheelers and pick ups. It's flagship SUV, the Scorpio (known as the Mahindra Goa in Italy) is acknowledged the world over for its arresting blend of rugged utility and style, while its Bolero SUV was recently crowned Indias leading SUV brand for two years in a row with record sales of over 50,000 units in one year.

Reaching out to the world a global timeline In 1969 Mahindra established its export division with its first order of 600 jeeps for the Yugoslavian market. And there began Mahindras Journey towards expanding its global footprint. 1970s Mahindra begins exporting vehicles to Nigeria and other African countries. Today, the company has a presence in almost 15 markets in Africa. It was also during the 70s that Mahindra concluded exports of about 3300 units, mainly to Indonesia and Yugoslavia

It was during this decade that Mahindras export division gained further momentum. The winds of change were blowing through Mahindra as the company began consolidating its strengths in design. In 2002, M&M achieved a major milestone with the launch of Indias first indigenous SUV, the Scorpio. A runaway hit from the day of its birth, the Scorpio was by far one of the most exciting products ever developed by M&M and one that would give it immense recognition. The success of the Scorpio in India further bolstered Mahindras global ambitions and the company actively began looking for partnerships overseas. The emphasis was now on establishing a solid local presence as this was the key to long-term success and building trust with the customer. In addition to the Scorpio, Mahindra also developed the Mahindra Pik Up, based on the Scorpio platform, exclusively for overseas markets.

M&M ties up with Mitsubishi for farm equipment Indias largest tractor manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) today signed a technical license agreement with Mitsubishi Agriculture Machinery Company, Japan, for transfer of agricultural machinery technology.

The agriculture machinery technology is being licensed to M&M Farm Equipment Sectors (FES) Applitrac business for manufacturing Mitsubishis products in India. These machinery will be sold under the Mahindra brand name in India as well as in export markets like China and the Saarc countries.

To start with, M&M will produce the rice transplant machine, priced at Rs 1.75 lakh from its plant in Nagpur. The company is making an investment of Rs 15 crore towards the venture and intends to sell 1,000 units of the machine this year, while the target is expected to go up to 5,000 units per year in the next two to three years. These machines reduce man-hours while improving costs savings. According to estimates, the rice transplantor can save 30 per cent of costs while employing only three persons against 10-12 persons under manual conditions. Mitsubishi also partners M&M is the US where it makes compact tractors for the Indian company and sells them under the M&M brand name.

The Applitrac business where M&M sells all products other than tractors, such as harvesters and other machinery, currently contributes Rs 100 crore to M&Ms FES revenue. This is expected to grow to Rs 500-600 crore in the next five years, according to Anjanikumar Choudhari, president-M&M FES.

Further, both companies are also exploring collaboration in the area of tractors. Mitsubishi has expertise in making compact and low-power tractors, whereas Mahindra makes bigger and high-capacity tractor.

WHAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE ? Customer service is the overall activity of identifying and satisfying customer needs. Giving customers service may mean giving them excellent service once, More often it refers to the whole process of meeting customer needs time and time again and giving them a better service than they expected. DESIGNING SERVICE DELIVARY SYSTEM: Designing a service delivery system is a creative process. It begins with a service concept and strategy to provide a service with features that differentiate it from the competition. The various alternatives for achieving these objectives must be identified and analyzed before any decisions can be made. Designing a service system involves issues such as location, facility design and layout for effective customer and work flow, procedures and job definitions for service providers, measures to ensure quality, extent of customer involvement, equipment selection, and adequate service capacity. The design process is never finished; once the service becomes operational, modifications in the delivery system are introduced as conditions warrant.

SERVICE DELIVERY PROCESS The nature of the services both influenced and is shaped by distribution strategy. It is through delivery systems that the supplier provides service to the customers with mature services; improvements may take the form of incremental enhancements to improve the efficiency of attractiveness of the delivery system. The thrust of the so-called experience economy often consists of enhancing the experience associated with delivery processes as opposed to improving the core product. In well-designed high-contract services, customers are often so actively involved in service delivery that process and outcome become intimately entwined. In low-contact services, delivery system simply to the extent that they can obtain service promptly whenever they want it.

ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES

Page 43

Companies and not-for profit organizations use a wide array of B2B (business-tobusiness) services, varying to some degree according to the nature of their industry, but usually involving purchases or, a much larger scale than those made by individuals or households. Now days, business customers are outsourcing more and more tasks to external service suppliers in order to focus on their core business. With out these needed services, offering them needed solutions and good value at a price they can afford, their companies cant hope to succeed.

Unfortunately, customers are not always happy with the quality and value of the services they receive. Sometimes you may be delighted with your service experience but there have probably been times when you were very disappointed. Both individual and corporate purchasers complain about broken promises, poor value for money, and lack of understanding of their needs, rude or incompetent personnel, and inconvenient service hours. Bureaucratic procedures, wasted time, mal functioning self-service machines, complicated web sites, and a host of other problems. Suppliers of services, who often face stiff competition, sometimes appear to have a very different set of concerns.

Many owners and managers complain about how difficult it is to keep costs down and make a agers complain about how difficult it is to keep costs down and make a profit, to find skilled and motivated employees, or to satisfy customers who, they sometimes grumble, have become unreasonably demanding.

Defining Services Services cover a vast array of different and often very complex activities. The word service was originally associated with the work that servants did for their masters. In time, a broader association emerged, captured in the dictionary definition of the action of serving helping, or benefiting, conduct ending to the welfare or advantage of another. Early marketing definitions of services contrasted them against goods. John Rathmell defined services in broad terms as acts deeds performance or efforts and argued that they had different characteristics from goods-defines as articles, devices, materials, objects, or things.

ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES

Page 44

ROLE OF INTERMEDIARES Many service organizations find it cost-effective to delegate certain tasks; most frequently this delegation concerns supplementary service elements. For instance despite their greater use of telephone call centers and the Internets, transportation firms and hotels still rely for a significant portion of their business on travel agents who handle customer interaction such as giving out information, taking reservations accepting payment, and ticketing. And of course many manufacturers rely on the services of distributors or retailers to stock and sell their physical products to end users, while also taking on responsibility for such supplementary services as information advice order taking delivery, installation billing and payment and certain types of problems solving in some cases they may also handle certain types of repairs and upgrades. Delegating Specific Service Elements The flower of service frameworks to illustrate how the original supplier may work in partnership with one or more intermediaries to deliver a complete service package to customers. In this example the core product is still delivered by the originating supplier, together with certain supplementary services packaged with this offering have been added by an intermediary to complete the offering as experienced by the customer. In other instances, several specialist outsourcers might be involved as intermediaries for specific elements. The challenge for the original supplier to act as guardian of the overall process, ensuring that teach element offered by intermediaries fits the overall service concept to create a consistent and seamless branded services experience. The customer service study revealed that no specific tactic, technology, or mission statement is the key to effective customer service delivery. In fact, what is clear is that effective customer service delivery is organization specific, since services are designed around the targeted customers desires and the frontline employees delivering the services. The components of the process for producing effective customer service delivery include appropriately identifying and targeting the ideal customer, establishing a customer-focused vision that is consistent with the prioritized desires of the target customers, establishing the operational procedures and internal infrastructure that support customer service, continuously measuring customer and employee satisfaction, embracing change, and striving persistently to improve. The customer ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES
Page 45

service literature clearly demonstrates that both profit-seeking and public agencies that implement effective customer service strategies realize financial benefits, either through increased profits or through reduced costs associated with long-term, informed customers; customer referrals; employee retention; improved information exchange; and streamlined service delivery. Why should a company or agency provide good customer service process? It improves trust and information exchange: In the public sector, including child support offices, good customer service generates satisfied or delighted customers. Satisfied customers lead to increased compliance, improved information exchange, improved relationships, increased trust, and, potentially, decreased workloads or costs. For instance, police departments across the Nation have embraced the concept of community policing. Through community policing, police departments incorporate a customer focus as well as an attitude of partnership with customers, to increase satisfaction and trust and even reduce fear of crime in the community. Customers actually participate in addressing crime and disorder problems, thus reducing the workload on patrol officers. What are the guiding principles of companies that deliver effective customer service? In the customer service literature, five guiding principles are adopted by public as well as private agencies delivering excellent customer service: 1. Embrace change and persistently strive to improve (be a learning organization). 2. Continually ask the target customers what they want and then give it to them. 3. Empower, support, and reward frontline personnel. 4. Harness the power of information. 5. Establish an enabling infrastructure.

How does an organization

ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES

Page 47

develop and implement an effective customer service strategy 1) Identify the target customer. 2) Determine what customer want. 3) Establish an organizational culture supportive of customer service. 4) Implement an internally oriented strategic service concept. 1. Identify the Target Customer.
o

Begin by identifying the target customers and by considering the point of purchase, point of service delivery or receipt, and point of consumption.

Cluster or segment target customers based on their common behaviors, knowing that targeting the wrong customers can have adverse effects on the organization.

Determine the priorities of various clusters of customers, knowing that the capabilities of the organization are crucial in addressing these priorities.

When possible, focus on customers with high current or future value. (Perhaps in child support this is a custodial parent with many children in the system.) This does not mean that other customers will not receive service, but it may mean that they will receive a different level of service. Consider the frequent flier programs that airlines and hotels offer to their customers with high current and future value. This does not mean that other passengers will not receive services, but services may not be at the same level.

Discourage non-target customers, those who are not likely to be satisfied by the services, and those to whom it is expensive to provide services, which is a necessary part of a customer focus. A simple example is offered as an illustration. A fire department could discourage residents from contacting the department to remove cats from trees by charging a $20 fee for performing the service and by advertising their busy emergency call load. The equipment and time investment of sending a ladder truck and several firefighters may reduce the effectiveness of the

ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES

Page 48

department at responding to an emergency and may not be the most prompt means of accomplishing the task for the customer.

2. Determine What Customers Want..


o

Determine what target customers want (not just what they need right now) by asking them in person or as part of a mail or telephone survey[2] or by using other mechanisms (e.g., electronic tracking and researching marketing trends) to determine what they want. Be aware that advertising, word of mouth, and public relations influence customers expectations. Meeting customers basic needs or expectations does not always bring high levels of satisfaction. Exceeding expectations produces high satisfactiontherefore, determine customers ideal desires.

Determine how the target customers prioritize their "wants." Generally, customers want convenience, quality products and services, variety or selection, low prices, and protection or security. However, each organization must identify what is most important to its customers.

Weigh how important the customer-identified "wants" are to the organization. Are the services something that the organization does, is capable of doing, or wants to pursue?

Determine how well the organization can meet the customers "wants" in comparison with competitors. The success of other companies at meeting and exceeding customer expectations changes a customers frame of reference and increases a customers expectations.

Determine which "wants," if performance delivery were to be improved, would most impact the organizations bottom line (profit, cost, loyalty, trust, or compliance).

ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES

Page 49

3. Establish an Organizational Culture Supportive of Customer Service.


o

Utilizing the information gathered, establish the companys customer-focused vision. The vision statement should be simple and may also identify what the company does not want to be. Some examples of simple vision statements include "Absolutely, Positively Overnight" by Federal Express and L.L. Beans promise "Guaranteed. Period."

Live up to what is promised by concurrently developing and applying externally and internally oriented strategic service concepts that reflect the vision. If the organization does not implement both internally and externally oriented service strategies consistent with the vision, the organization will have good intentions but poor customer service (Thompson).

Continually reflect on the vision and goals and the way services are delivered to customers. Be creative about the mechanisms used to create and deliver new services. Be willing to change existing practices to integrate improvements.

4. Concept. Implement an Internally Oriented Strategic Service The internally oriented strategic service concept establishes how the organizations internal processes will support the customer-focused vision. The premise behind the internally oriented strategic service concept is "capable workers who are well trained and fairly compensated provide better service, need less supervision, and are much more likely to stay on the job. As a result, their customers are likely to be more satisfied" A study by Sears in 1989 found that "employee turnover and customer satisfaction are directly correlated." Stores with high customer service ratings had a 54 percent sales force turnover versus 83 percent in stores with low customer service ratings (Harvard Business Review, 1994, p 80). This is supported by examples throughout the literature. Taco Bell found that the 20 percent of stores with the lowest employee turnover rates have 55 percent higher profits (an outcome of customer satisfaction) than the 20 percent of stores with the highest turnover rates (Harvard Business Review, 1994, p 240). ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES
Page 50

Identify employee groups important to implementing the externally oriented service concept. Frontline workers are of central importance.

Focus on recruiting employees who support the customer service vision. The costs of employing people who do not support the customer service vision are considerable. Forum Corporation research in the service industry showed, "only 14% [percent] of customers who stop patronizing service businesses do so because they are dissatisfied with what they bought. More than two-thirds defect because they find service people indifferent or unhelpful." (Harvard Business Review, 1994, p 77). Oftentimes, the right employees are those that fit in with the corporate cultures customer service vision, not necessarily those with the most experience in the industry. Additionally, develop career paths that allow successful customer-oriented employees to remain on the frontline.

Ensure that management supports employee decisions and judgment calls, even if this means that the cost of satisfying customers initially increases. In positions of high customer contact, quality control is not met by increased supervision, but by the use of incentives to emphasize quality, making service providers highly visible to customers, and by building a peer group to instill a sense of pride and teamwork.

Link all employees compensation to (and offer rewards for) good customer service performance. Rewards can be money, status, praise, acknowledgement, or perks such as trips or special events. While Charles Schwab does provide monetary incentives based on the amount of money a broker team brings into the company, if the customer service survey for the quarter does not show strong customer service by the team, the reward is reduced or even eliminated for the quarter. This policy in a profit-seeking environment leaves no doubt that customer satisfaction is the primary goal (Wiersema, 1998).

Finally, measure employee satisfaction regularly. Leaders in the service industry have employed such methods as toll-free numbers, periodic roundtable meetings, and surveys to collect employee satisfaction information.

ANANTHA LAKSHMI INST. OF TECH AND SCIENCES

Role of Customers in Service Delivery Service customers are often present in the factory (the place the service is produced and/or consumed), interacting with employees and with other customers. E.g In a classroom or training situation, students (customers) are sitting in the factory interacting with the instructor and other students as they consume the educational services. Since these customers are present during service production, customers can contribute to or detract from the successful delivery of the service and to their own satisfaction. The Importance of Customers in Service Delivery Customer participation at some level is inevitable in service delivery. Services are actions or performances, typically produced and consumed simultaneously. In many situations employees, customers and even others in the service environment interact to produce the ultimate service outcome. Because the customers receiving the service participates in the delivery process, he or she can contribute to through appropriate or inappropriate, effective or in effective , productive or unproductive behaviors. Customers who are unprepared in terms of what they want to order can soak up the customer service representatives time as they seek advice. Similarly, shoppers who are not prepared with their credit cards can put the representative on hold while they search for their credit cards or go to another room or even out of their cars to get them. Meanwhile, other customers and calls are left unattended, causing longer wait times and potential dissatisfaction. The level of participation low, medium, high varies across services. In some cases, all that is required is the customers physical presence (low level of participation), with the employees of the firm doing all of the service production work, as in case of a ghazal concert. The listeners must be present to receive the entertainment service. In other cases, consumer inputs are required to aid the service organization in creating the service (moderate level of participation). Inputs can include information, effort or physical possessions.
