Assignment No.
Due Date: 25th April, 2012 Marks: 15
Assignment:
Suppose you purchased a connection of ABC telecom and need to install GPRS and MMS settings in
your mobile phone. For that purpose, you visited the customer service center of ABC telecom. It was
really a very bad experience for you as the customer representatives of the customer service center
were not co-operative. They were not paying attention to your concern at all. It happened as when you
presented your query in front of customer representative for the sake of installing GPRS & MMS
settings in your mobile phone, instead of installing GPRS and MMS settings, he pretended to look
very busy in performing other tasks so you moved towards window # 2 and presented your query to
another customer representative. Customer representative said, sir, kindly move towards the window #
4 as it was a desired place to perform such kind of tasks. There was a great rush and people were
standing in queue at window # 4. It took almost fifteen minutes to reach at the counter. You gave your
mobile phone to the customer representative for installing the GPRS and MMS settings. After five
minutes your mobile phone was delivered to you with the message that your desire was fulfilled i.e.
MMS and GPRS settings had been installed.
After some time at home you decided to send an e-mail to your friend. Then there was a shocking
discovery for you. GPRS settings were missing in your mobile phone as customer representative had
forgotten to install GPRS settings. It was a very embarrassing situation. You were so annoyed from
this behavior / negligence of the company’s representatives that you decided not to use this network
any more. You also complained to the head office of the ABC telecom. Head office representatives
forwarded this complaint to the quality control department of the company. After investigation quality
control executives found that total quality principles were not rightly met in customer service center
that is why above said issue was created.
