Case Study – Computers R Us
Computers R Us, a computer manufacturer and retailer has recently launched a
service and repair division, CompleteCare, for its portable/laptop/notebook
computers. This division promises to provide a rapid response to customer technical
enquiries and warranty repairs.
The CompleteCare division is however currently experiencing a shortage of trained
technical operators in its telephone centre. In addition the courier, contracted to
pick up and deliver customers’ machines to the repair centre, has been unreliable.
CompleteCare has also experienced parts availability problems for some machine
types. Recent phone logs at the Computers R Us call centre contain multiple
complaints about CompleteCare. It is unknown how representative these complaints
are, if they have a common cause and what implications they may have on the
satisfaction of Computers R Us customers.
To address these issues, the management of Computers R Us desires information on
the effectiveness of the CompleteCare division and its impact on customer
satisfaction to determine what could be done to improve the CompleteCare
program.
