Forum members,

I wish to seek better understanding of the requirement of 8.3

----Editor's Note: 8.3 is Control of Nonconformity -- I think he means 8.2.1----

which requires organization to measure customer satisfaction and/or dissatication.
I agreed that the 1994 version somewhat measures this "new" requirement in the form of "customer complaints handling". However, would it be adequate to understand the customer only based on this information. My rationale is that customer who make complaints may not indicate dissatisfaction because those who does may still satisfied and continue to have business with you. And on the other hand, customer who don't make complaints may not be satisfied but choose not to complain.

Based on the above, how would an ISO auditor or an organization determine customer satisfaction and/or dissatisfaction from the customer complaints.

------------------
Thanks and Best Regards

This was taken from the latter part of that thread.

I am not sure this is going to work for our auditor, but what we are going to try is to document the fact that our sales force's call reports are widely distributed and reviewed by most of upper and middle management, as well as having the complaints tracked.

It might be impractical for some companies, but for us, and for me, it sure means more than some dry report. It really does seem to work, too.
