Customer Satisfaction Survey December 2018

A questionnaire was designed with the intention of ascertaining how a random selection of customers rated our performance. From that information specific areas could be singled out for particular improvement.

Customer Satisfaction Survey December 2000

Ten questions, ranging from booking inspection services to the final account and compliance with health safety and environmental rules, were devised. The customers were asked to rate our performance on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 was totally dissatisfied and 5 was totally satisfied.

60 questionnaires were sent out and 42 were returned, representing a response rate of 70 per cent.

Overall

Applied Inspection Ltd 89 per cent

Conclusions

An overall customer satisfaction measurement of 89 per cent reflects the importance that all staff place on satisfying the requirements of customers.

A general guide as to the level of customer satisfaction for a company such as Applied Inspection Limited with a large customer base would be 75 to 85 per cent. Therefore an overall figure of 89 per cent is exceptional and will be very difficult to improve upon.

However, the level of customer satisfaction must be continually reviewed and possible improvements sought and implemented.

The next review of customer satisfaction will be carried out late 2001.

This year’s survey used the same questionnaire as last year and was sent to a random selection of customers. They were asked to rate our performance on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 was totally dissatisfied and 10 was totally satisfied.

111 questionnaires were sent out and 51 were returned representing a response rate of 45.95%.

  • Interim Report 88
  • Final Report 90
  • Value 86
  • Final Account 87
  • Health, Safety and Environmental 89

Overall

Applied Inspection Ltd 89 per cent

Conclusions

The overall Customer Satisfaction measurement of 89% is the same as last year. It is again an extremely high figure and reflects the importance that all staff place on satisfying the requirements of customers.

In the period between the last survey and this one there have been improvements in the areas of:

  • Interim report
  • Value for money
  • Final account
  • Compliance with health, safety and environmental rules

However, there has been a deterioration in standards in:

  • Ease of booking services
  • Punctuality
  • All other areas achieved similar results (within 1 percentage point).

Whilst the improvements are welcome and reflect the effort made by staff to ensure a high standard of service, the two areas of deterioration are of concern. The reason for the deterioration may well be related to the success of the company this year, with big increases in staff numbers and turnover. However, our success cannot be used as an excuse. We will focus our efforts on improving these areas in the coming year.

The next review of Customer Satisfaction will be carried out late 2002.

Survey carried out by John Morris (QHS&E Manager) during November and December 2001, assisted by Chesterfield office staff Dawn Andrews, Kelly Harper and Laura Moorcroft.
