Candace Maldonado, VP of Customer Services at Alamo Auto
Insurance, Inc., is reviewing the performance of the claims
processing division of her company. Her staff reports that the
time required to process claims is normally distributed with =
14 days and = 3 days. Even though Candace has received
several complaint letters from customers alleging lengthy delays
in claims processing, she knows that Alamo out-performs the
industry. (For the industry, processing time is normal with =
25 days and = 5 days.) Moreover, she knows that improving
(decreasing) claims processing time will reduce investment
interest earned by the company -- putting a downward pressure
on corporate profits and an upward pressure on premiums.
Discuss Candace's dilemma. How should she respond to the
complaining customers? Should she share her statistics with
other corporate managers?
