ISO 10002 Customer Satisfaction Management is a standard that provides guidance for an organization to effectively handle and resolve customer complaints. This standard views complaints not as a problem, but as a valuable source of feedback to strengthen relationships and improve processes. It guides you in establishing a transparent, fair, and constructive complaint management process aimed at increasing customer satisfaction, strengthening loyalty, and protecting corporate reputation.
Complaint Management Process It requires the establishment of a clear, understandable, and public process for customer complaints to be easily submitted, recorded, tracked, and responded to, ensuring this process is adopted by all employees.
Investigation and Resolution of Complaints It mandates that each complaint be investigated impartially, swiftly, and systematically, requiring root cause analysis and the provision of an appropriate, fair solution to the customer.
Continuous Improvement It encourages the periodic analysis of collected complaint data to identify recurring issues and systemic errors, initiating corrective and preventive actions in products, services, or processes.
Strengthening Customer Relationships It aims to reinforce customer trust and loyalty by exhibiting an attitude that takes responsibility, communicates openly, and remains solution-oriented when faced with issues. This forms the basis of long-term customer relationships.
