IMPROVING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY
               USING FAILURE MODE & EFFECTS ANALYSIS


Introduction

Repetitive failures cost companies millions of dollars in redesign costs, liabilities, and

transaction costs. However, by far the most serious cost of these failures is the lost business

that results from customer defection. For service companies, the task of providing error-

free services is even more challenging because their intangible nature renders subjective

perceptions of quality. Equally troublesome is the uncontrollable element of customer

participation in the service process because production and consumption occur as a

simultaneous process. Despite these challenges however, service quality and customer

satisfaction are closely related constructs. When service providers continuously strive to

develop error-free processes, customer satisfaction is sure to follow.


What is FMEA?

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a logical, proactive technique that is used

to identify and eliminate potential causes of failures. The technique was first used in the

aerospace industry to find problems with an aircraft before it ever left the ground. Today,

FMEA is in widespread use by a multitude of industries, many of which have begun

imposing FMEA standards.


In the services industry, FMEA is critical because once a service encounter has occurred

(and resulting customer dissatisfaction has ensued), any corrective actions taken by the

service provider will likely be futile. With FMEA, potential failure modes in the process are

identified in anticipation of the service encounter. In this way, the potential for errors is

reduced or eliminated, allowing for only the smallest probability of customer dissatisfaction.



                                                                                                 2
What steps should be taken to conduct a FMEA?

Once a service provider decides FMEA is the right choice, the following ten steps can be

used to guide the implementation process:

    1. Select a service process to be analyzed
    2. Define responsibility (team, engineers, designers, developers etc)
    3. Flow-chart the process
    4. List and describe all failure modes at each step in the process
    5. Perform a criticality assessment by determining the risk level for each fault by failure
        probability or severity of failure
    6. Rank the faults in terms of priority
    7. Design changes to reduce the risk of the highest priority failure modes
    8. Specify outcome measures and criteria to determine the success of the changes
    9. Specify a time frame
    10. Implement the changes and evaluate

Design changes should continue until all possible causes of failure have been reduced or

eliminated. As mentioned earlier, while FMEA can technically be performed at any stage,

ideally it is performed at the process design stage. This way, potential problems can be

identified and prevented before the process is put in place.


What potential rewards can FMEA provide?

Service companies who frequently conduct FMEA’s and evaluate their success typically

experience:

        Minimized customer defection/increased customer satisfaction
        Increased consistency in service quality
        Reduction of costly design changes
        Reduced transaction costs/increased profits
        Reduced liability




                                                                                              3
What are the advantages of using FMEA versus other methods?

FMEA is differentiated over other types of failure analysis methods in that it is particularly

adept at:

        Identifying cause and effect of known and potential failures before they occur
        Providing documentation of failures which can be tracked over time
        Making accountability easier to pinpoint
        Facilitating continuous improvement
        Creating a common language that can be easily understood by both technical and
        non-technical people in the organization

FMEA in practice: Six Sigma Qualtec

An investment management firm providing a transactional web site to 401(K) plan

participants received numerous complaints from clients who could not make informed

investment decisions because the web site was not being updated in a timely manner.

Mutual Fund Asset Value updates, for example, were late 35% of the time. The firm

identified non-value added steps in their web site update process, using process maps,

FMEA, measurement system analysis, ANOVA, multi-variable analysis and process control

systems. The non-value added steps were eliminated, and manual reconciliation was

automated. Eventually, the firm outsourced a standardized process to a third party web

administrator, which yielded $100,000 in net savings. At-risk revenue retained through

client satisfaction was $5 million.

  • 1. Improving Customer Satisfaction in the Service Industry using Failure Mode & Effects Analysis By Debbie Vermilion Submitted to Prof. Tom Foster on November 18, 2002 for OPERMGT 345, 001
  • 2. IMPROVING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY USING FAILURE MODE & EFFECTS ANALYSIS Introduction Repetitive failures cost companies millions of dollars in redesign costs, liabilities, and transaction costs. However, by far the most serious cost of these failures is the lost business that results from customer defection. For service companies, the task of providing error- free services is even more challenging because their intangible nature renders subjective perceptions of quality. Equally troublesome is the uncontrollable element of customer participation in the service process because production and consumption occur as a simultaneous process. Despite these challenges however, service quality and customer satisfaction are closely related constructs. When service providers continuously strive to develop error-free processes, customer satisfaction is sure to follow. What is FMEA? Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a logical, proactive technique that is used to identify and eliminate potential causes of failures. The technique was first used in the aerospace industry to find problems with an aircraft before it ever left the ground. Today, FMEA is in widespread use by a multitude of industries, many of which have begun imposing FMEA standards. In the services industry, FMEA is critical because once a service encounter has occurred (and resulting customer dissatisfaction has ensued), any corrective actions taken by the service provider will likely be futile. With FMEA, potential failure modes in the process are identified in anticipation of the service encounter. In this way, the potential for errors is reduced or eliminated, allowing for only the smallest probability of customer dissatisfaction. 2
  • 3. What steps should be taken to conduct a FMEA? Once a service provider decides FMEA is the right choice, the following ten steps can be used to guide the implementation process: 1. Select a service process to be analyzed 2. Define responsibility (team, engineers, designers, developers etc) 3. Flow-chart the process 4. List and describe all failure modes at each step in the process 5. Perform a criticality assessment by determining the risk level for each fault by failure probability or severity of failure 6. Rank the faults in terms of priority 7. Design changes to reduce the risk of the highest priority failure modes 8. Specify outcome measures and criteria to determine the success of the changes 9. Specify a time frame 10. Implement the changes and evaluate Design changes should continue until all possible causes of failure have been reduced or eliminated. As mentioned earlier, while FMEA can technically be performed at any stage, ideally it is performed at the process design stage. This way, potential problems can be identified and prevented before the process is put in place. What potential rewards can FMEA provide? Service companies who frequently conduct FMEA’s and evaluate their success typically experience: Minimized customer defection/increased customer satisfaction Increased consistency in service quality Reduction of costly design changes Reduced transaction costs/increased profits Reduced liability 3
  • 4. What are the advantages of using FMEA versus other methods? FMEA is differentiated over other types of failure analysis methods in that it is particularly adept at: Identifying cause and effect of known and potential failures before they occur Providing documentation of failures which can be tracked over time Making accountability easier to pinpoint Facilitating continuous improvement Creating a common language that can be easily understood by both technical and non-technical people in the organization FMEA in practice: Six Sigma Qualtec An investment management firm providing a transactional web site to 401(K) plan participants received numerous complaints from clients who could not make informed investment decisions because the web site was not being updated in a timely manner. Mutual Fund Asset Value updates, for example, were late 35% of the time. The firm identified non-value added steps in their web site update process, using process maps, FMEA, measurement system analysis, ANOVA, multi-variable analysis and process control systems. The non-value added steps were eliminated, and manual reconciliation was automated. Eventually, the firm outsourced a standardized process to a third party web administrator, which yielded $100,000 in net savings. At-risk revenue retained through client satisfaction was $5 million.
