resources, strategic acquisitions and expansions

Quality Quest:

Product quality, consistency and customer service will be pursued as an act of faith

throughout the organization.

Pursuit Of Excellence:

The growing size of our business permits us to have an R & D set up of our own. We shall

continuously challenge methods, systems, operating parameters. We shall constantly review our

The new millennium will bring with it new challenges and greater opportunities. The 21st

century will most certainly see the unfolding of a period of extraordinary possibilities and

incredible developments bringing about more fundamental changes in the global economy than

the last 200 years. The successful corporates will be those who equip themselves to meet the

challenges and convert opportunities into winning strategies. If we are to keep pace, it is

imperative that we learn to successfully tread the global pathway.

However it must be remembered that it is not enough to adopt a set of values and just leave them

in place. In order to move with the changing times, values and ideas must be ceaselessly re-

examined so as to ensure that they are in tune with the organization’s goals.

The Laxmi Project is committed to contribute its might in making the 21st century an "Indian

impeller diameters of 2000mm. and above, be it at reduced RPM such that

the maximum power consumption does not exceed 75 horse powers.

To ensure that the impellers and the rotors meet the balancing standards set

by international and / or National Standards, we have precision balancing

machines and stroboscopes for analyzing the vibrations of the assembled

finished products.

To further standardize and ensure a uniformity of production. We have

continuously added machines, the latest one being profile Copying Nibbling

Machine which also copies whole punching to match those of the templates exactly. This is a continuous process in keeping with the philosophy of the

management and the addition of machines or equipment is need based with

no constraints in capital investment.

The tooling including templates, jigs, Fixtures and dies are continuously

modernized and new ones added to improve their range of products and their

have never hesitated in engaging consultants, advisers and other personnel for

guiding them and helping Them in developing various products.

Every now and then, new products are added to the range. We have been

continuously in touch with the developed countries for technology up

gradation.

Customers form service expectations from many sources, such as past experience,

word of mouth, and advertising. In general, customer compares the perceived

services with the expected services. If the perceived service falls below the

expected services, customers are disappointed.

1. Gap between consumer expectation and management perception:

-Management does not always correctly perceive what customers want.

2. Gap between management perception and service-quality specification:

-Management might correctly perceive customers want but not set a performance standard.

3. Gap between service-quality specification and service delivery:

-Personnel might be poorly trained, or incapable of or unwilling to meet the standard; or they

may be held to conflicting standards, such as taking time to listen to customers and serving them

fast.

4. Gap between service delivery and external communication:

-Consumer expectations are affected by statements made by company representatives and ads.

(External communication distorts the consumers’ expectations.)

5. Gap between perceived services and expected services:

-This Gap occurs when the consumers misperceives the service quality.

`

36

Based on this service-quality model, researchers identified the following five determinants of service

quality, in order of their importance.

1. Reliability- The ability to perform the promised services dependably and accurately.

2. Responsiveness- The wiliness to help customers and to provide prompt services.

3. Assurance- The knowledge and courtesy of employees and their ability to convey trust and

confidence.

4. Empathy- The provision of caring, individualized attention to customers.

5. Tangibles- The appearance of physical facilities, equipment, personnel, and communication material.

Reliability Responsiveness

will be performed.

Dependability in handling customers’ service

The creation of customer satisfaction can provide several benefits, including the relationship

between companies and consumers are pleasant, providing a good basis for the purchase and re-

creation of customer loyalty, and form a recommendation by word of mouth that can benefit the

company.

In researching satisfaction, firms generally ask customers whether their product or service has

met or exceeded expectations. Thus, expectations are a key factor behind satisfaction. When

customers have high expectations and the reality falls short, they will be disappointed and will

likely rate their experience as less than satisfying.

Questionnaire to help us ensure that our standard of customer care exceeds expectations

wherever possible.

Sampling design is one of the most important aspects where the design must be appropriate

in order to have the desired result. Sampling design includes various aspect and they are as follows:

Sampling Area : Vapi,Umbergaon,Mumbai,sarigam &

Ankleshwar

Sample Size : 50

`

46

The method used in the research (survey) is of probability type as I am unaware about the

results. It can be either of the side. It is area of Vapi, Umbergaon, Mumbai, sarigam & Ankleshwar

city under which I have conducted the research.

The research is based on Convenience Methods I used the questionnaire as my data

collection tool. This is so because I want to know the Service Quality of the company. This can be

done by using questionnaire.

`

47

Data is the information collected from various sources. It is concerned with gather accurate and

proper knowledge about the problem that is in hand. Formally there are 2 types of gathering

information namely primary data and secondary data. The study is based on two data:

(A) PRIMARY DATA

Primary data is the data which is based on current facts and it is the first hand data collected

63

The quality of service provided by customer representative is satisfactory.

The overall quality of product is up to the mark.

Solving the problem according to the customer is the quality of service representative that stood

out.

The customer service representative should be trained well to solve customer problems.

Customers are satisfied with the time taken to solve their queries.

More service engineer should be appoint so that problem can be solve fast & Training is also

given to customer service representative people to perform well.

Feedback from the customer should be taken after a fixed period of time & corrective action

should be taken.

It is also find out that company should focus on communication task with customer.

GENERAL FINDINGS

According to the customers and Industrial knowledge it came into my knowledge that the senior

members are well aware and knowledgeable about different problems that occurs.

If the organization can approach the clients at an regular interval under warrantee period and ask

for any problems related to the product they are using this will satisfy the customers and help in

creating more customers

`

64

The company is satisfying its customers by quality service experience.

From the research it can be concluded, that the customers are satisfied with the

company quality services. The company should regularly check its service team and

make continuous changes required.

`

65

I. As per the result about 68% of the customers are satisfied with the problems tackled

by the service personnel.

II. Here those who do not satisfy with service personnel, the company should pay more

attention to them.

III. Here Laxmi Project should have to give more efforts to provide better services to

customers and to reach at a better position.

IV. The company should focus on the problem faced by service representative.
