One of the major measures of the quality of service


One of the major measures of the quality of service provided by any organization is the speed with which it responds to customer complaints. A large family-held department store selling furniture and flooring had undergone a major expansion in the past several years. In particular, the flooring department had expanded from 2 installation crews to an installation supervisor, a measure, and 15 installation crews. The store had the business objective of improving its response to complaints. The variable of interest was defined as the number of days between when a complaint was made and when it was resolved. Prior to increasing the staff, the mean number of days to resolve a complaint was 45. Data were collected from 50 complaints that were made in the past year. The sample data showed the mean number of days for resolution was 40 with a standard deviation of 18 days. Perform the appropriate test to determine if the mean number of days it takes to resolve a complaint decreased after the staffs was increased. Use alpha = .05.............b. In addition to reducing the time it takes to resolve a complaint, the store also wanted to decrease the percent of flooring jobs that resulted in a customer complaint. Before expanding the crew, the percentage of flooring jobs resulting in a customer complaint was 8%. In a sample of 225 flooring jobs, 15 resulted in a customer complaint. Is there evidence the percentage of jobs with customer complaints decreased as well? Perform the test at alpha = .05
