Re: ISO 9001 Implementation and Certification - Some advice
Anthony,
Before you go doing all the analysis think first what is required and what will you actually gain from all this work besides personal knowledge. Are there real benefits to be gained from this by the company? Is it a customer requirement that you are meeting?
I am in the calibration industry and have found most customers actually find it annoying to fill out satisfaction surveys. In the end I determined only to issue surveys to customers twice a year and only to "key customers". Those who I knew would answer because they wanted to help make my service better. Customer communication is even more important than the surveys.
My surveys are very simple they have 5 questions and 4 levels of rating making for easy scoring, and a place for comments.
They are: Delivery time as negotiated. Conformance to your requirements, Preservation of goods, Reporting of results, and Ease and politeness of communication. Scoring is Poor Fair Good Excellent.
Validation for me shows through the repeat business, and lack of complaints. In reality that is what any business owner wants.

Thank you for your answer BorisS.
In fact what we need is a statistical method to validate the customer satisfaction questionnaires.
I read in a book that validation might be made using the Alpha Cronbach Coefficient.
They wrote that Alpha Cronbach shoul be at least 0,7 in order to consider the questions well done.
My question is if anyone has an easy (statistical) method to reach this result.
Thanks
