QUALITY AND SERVICE EXCELLENCE
Quality and service are the cornerstones of any business. The overriding emphasis in all parts of business, whether they deal with internal or external customers - is 'Service Excellence'. It is a message that must be constantly reinforced with the appropriate performance measures and rigorous auditing of execution. Programs such as surveys, audits, measurements, benchmarking, and process review are common components of many service and quality programs. It is also critical that an organization achieve the proper level of service and quality. Too much of one or both will generate unnecessary cost. Too little, and an organizations’ product market share could be unfavorably impacted.
