Service Recovery Strategy
Fail-safe your service – “Do it right the first
time”
Welcome & encourage complaints
Act quickly
Treat customers
fairly
Learn from recovery
experiences
Learn from lost customers
![Page 64: Service Management - Service Failure and Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546b67acaf795985298b4bb3/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
FAIL-SAFE YOUR SERVICE – “DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME”
Recovery is Unnecessary; because - Customers get what they expect. Cost of Redoing can be avoided. Compensating for errors can be avoided.
TQM – Zero Defects
Poka Yokes (Japanese Term): Fail safing or Mistake proofing. To ensure essential procedures are followed. To ensure service steps carried out in proper order and in timely manner.
E.g.: Trays for Surgical Instruments
Everyone understands “Zero Defection” Culture
