(A TWO DAY PROGRAMME)

PRESENTER : PROFESSOR GOPAL K KANJI

1. INTRODUCTION:

Customer satisfaction Index (CSI) represents a new type of customer-based measurement system for evaluating and enhancing the performance of companies, industries, economic sectors and national economics. It is designed to be representative of the economy as a whole and covers many companies over various types of industries in the consumer sectors of the economy. On an annual basis the CSI system estimates a company level customer satisfaction index for each company in the sample and weights their company-level indices to calculate industry, sector, and national indices.

The customer satisfaction index measures the quality of the goods and services as experienced by the customers that use them. An individual companies’ CSI represents its served markets and its customers’ overall evaluation of total purchase and user experience. Similarly, an industry CSI represents the industry’s customers’ overall evaluation of its market. A sector CSI is an overall evaluation of that sector, and the national CSI gauges the national total consumption experience.
