Complaint Management that Refers to Customer Master

"We will sincerely correspond to your voice"


Easier said than done. Actually, sometimes it might be impossible to "Immediately respond to customer voice". Suppose if you set up a framework to dynamically scaling up the "human resources", it will have its limit. No, wait. First of all, the policy of "simply increase manpower" will lead to "increase of cost". Consequently, it will not be for your customers.

Hmm, what truly is "corresponding sincerely"?

"ISO 100002" will be a great hint. That is, focusing on "making continual improvement by PDCA cycle for Complaint handling process". (It may also be said that to increase the maturity of the organization.)

Specifically speaking, it is to capture and to record the progress between the completion of answering to the customer, from the acceptance of the opinion and demands from customers. And then, continue to improve the "flow of Complaint handling process" or the "Work Manuals".

  • ISO 10002: Quality management (Customer satisfaction):
    Guidelines for complaints handling in organizations (2004)

The following Workflow Definition is a very simple "Complaint handling process."

* You may refer to as "Claim handling process" or " Inquiry handling process", as well.

To begin with, you run this simple Workflow for "Customer voice" for a week or a month. And then you will conduct the first Process alteration based on the accumulated handling records and actual experiences. Thereafter, iterate the improvement cycle.

In addition, it is excellent that it refers "Customer Master". If you have prepared the "customer master", operators will be able to input "customer name without fluctuation", easily.

[Inquiry Correspondence process]



"Receiving of Inquiry email" or "Input in Inquiry web form" will be the trigger for this Workflow.

For example, an "Issue of reply sentence drafting" will be automatically Started at the moment "Inquiry email" comes in. And thereafter, it will flow according to the Business Flow Diagram. (However, it will end only at the Step of "1. Drafting Answer".)

By the way, it is also helpful that template sentences has been set in "Replying mail body", and the required time for answering (response time) will be calculated automatically. Moreover, when correspondence data have been accumulated, it will also become possible to realize;
  • Reflections to products and services
  • Continuous correction of flows and procedures


As you can experience in operating it actually, "reference to customer master" is excellent. In the format of the Master that is assumed here, it is able to refer "Sales contribution" quickly. It is helpful in determining the correspondence priority.

* However, "treat all the people equally" is written in ISO 10002 as the general principle.

Also, I haven't set the [Work Manual] in this Workflow definition. You would be better to embed your own "Customer Correspondence manual", so that rookies will be able to recognize what they should do. (Also, it is referred to "CMS manual: Customer-handling Management System.)


** ISO 10002
http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=65712
It is not defined "Third-party certification system" as an ISO standard. However, by utilizing "Evaluation services" of such as JQA, Japan Quality Assurance organization, you might get "recognition" which will never be gotten in-house.


▼JavaScript Setting Sample for "(Select from Customer master)"
<button type="button" id="myButton" accesskey="b">Auto-input(<u>B</u>)</button> the information of the selected Customer Master 

<script type="text/javascript"> 
jQuery('#myButton').on('click',function(){ 
var idStr = jQuery('input[name="data\\[9\\].selects"]').val(); 
// Search Select (id) 

var labelStr = jQuery('input[name="data\\[9\\].dummy"]').val(); 
// Search Select (label) 

jQuery('input[name="data\\[●Company Name●\\].input"]').val( labelStr ); 
jQuery('input[name="data\\[●Corporation Number●\\].input"]').val( idStr.substr(7, 13) ); 
jQuery('input[name="data\\[●Customer Classification code●\\].input"]').val( idStr.substr(0, 6) ); 
jQuery('input[name="data\\[●Customer URL●\\].input"]').val( idStr.substr(21) ); 

jQuery('input[name="data\\[●Customer Region●\\].selects"]').val( idStr.substr(0, 1) ); 
jQuery('input[name="data\\[●Service Status●\\].selects"]').val( idStr.substr(1, 1) ); 
jQuery('input[name="data\\[●Partnership●\\].selects"]').val( idStr.substr(2, 1) ); 
jQuery('input[name="data\\[●Organization Scale●\\].selects"]').val( idStr.substr(3, 1) ); 
jQuery('input[name="data\\[●Decile of last 6 months●\\].selects"]').val( idStr.substr(4, 1) ); 
jQuery('input[name="data\\[●Use period●\\].selects"]').val( idStr.substr(5, 1) ); 
}); 
</script>
