Literature Review
Customer satisfaction
Organizations are increasingly interested in retaining existing customers while targeting non-
customers; measuring customer satisfaction provides an indication of how successful the
organization is at providing products and/or services to the marketplace.
Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the actual manifestation of the
state of satisfaction will vary from person to person and product/service to product/service. The
state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and physical variables which
correlate with satisfaction behaviors such as return and recommend rate. The level of satisfaction
can also vary depending on other options the customer may have and other products against
which the customer can compare the organization's products.
Because satisfaction is basically a psychological state, care should be taken in the effort of
quantitative measurement, although a large quantity of research in this area has recently been
developed. Work done by Berry (Bart Allen) and Brodeur between 1990 and 1998 defined ten
'Quality Values' which influence satisfaction behavior, further expanded by Berry in 2002 and
known as the ten domains of satisfaction. These ten domains of satisfaction include: Quality,
Value, Timeliness, Efficiency, Ease of Access, Environment, Inter-departmental Teamwork,
Front line Service Behaviors, Commitment to the Customer and Innovation. These factors are
emphasized for continuous improvement and organizational change measurement and are most
often utilized to develop the architecture for satisfaction measurement as an integrated model.
Work done by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry (Leonard L) between 1985 and 1988 provides
the basis for the measurement of customer satisfaction with a service by using the gap between
the customer's expectation of performance and their perceived experience of performance. This
provides the measurer with a satisfaction "gap" which is objective and quantitative in nature.
Work done by Cronin and Taylor propose the "confirmation/disconfirmation" theory of
combining the "gap" described by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry as two different measures
(perception and expectation of performance) into a single measurement of performance
according to expectation. According to Garbrand, customer satisfaction equals perception of
performance divided by expectation of performance.
The usual measures of customer satisfaction involve a survey with a set of statements using a
Likert Technique or scale. The customer is asked to evaluate each statement and in term of their
perception and expectation of performance of the organization being measured.

Published standards exist to help organizations develop their current levels of customer
satisfaction. The International Customer Service Institute (TICSI) has released The
International Customer Service Standard (TICSS). TICSS enables organizations to focus their
attention on delivering excellence in the management of customer service, whilst at the same
time providing recognition of success through a 3rd Party registration scheme. TICSS focuses an
organizations attention on delivering increased customer satisfaction by helping the organization
through a Service Quality Model.
TICSS Service Quality Model uses the 5 P's - Policy, Processes, and People, Premises,
Product/Services, as well as performance measurement. The implementation of a customer
service standard should lead to higher levels of customer satisfaction, which in turn influences
customer retention and customer loyalty.

Industry Review
The main category of tyres produced in the country is that of Truck & Bus tyres. These
tyres accounted for 57% of the total tyre tonnage production in FY07 followed by LCV tyres
which accounted for 9% of the total tyre tonnage production. Approximately 53% of the total
tyre tonnage off take was by the replacement market, 31% by OEM and 15% by the export
market in FY07. The industry tonnage production registered a 5 year CAGR of 9.69% between
FY 02-07. The largest category of Truck & Bus tyres recorded a 5 year CAGR of 7.85% (slower
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 13

than the industry) while Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV), motorcycle and car tyre categories
grew at 15%, 16% and 14% respectively (faster than the industry). Off the road (OTR) tyre
category (customized tyres) which fetch a higher margin compared to other tyre categories, is the
fastest growing category.
The OTR tyre category has registered a 5 year CAGR of over 20% in the last five years.
Most of the top players are increasing their capacity for the production of OTR tyres so as to
improve their product mix, this being a high margin product.
The exports from the country clocked a CAGR of 13% in unit terms and 18% in value
terms in the period FY 02-07. Most of these tyres that are exported are of cross ply design. With
radicalization catching up in some of these markets, the Indian manufacturers will need to
graduate to production and export of radial tyres so as to protect their share in the export market.
Radicalization of tyres is still minimal in India.
Only the car tyre market has moved to radial tyres (95%) but in all other categories,
cross ply tyres are still preferred. Poor road conditions, overloading in trucks, higher cost of
radial tyres and poor awareness of the tyre users are the main reasons for the non transition of the
domestic market to radial tyres. However, going ahead radicalization in truck & bus tyres may
increase due to governments focus on infrastructure development.

CONCLUSION
According to the study I conclude that the MRF TYRES company satisfies the customer
need and the purpose, but only problem is with the service given to the customers by the
