Hrm 531 Week 4 Memo
MEMO
To: Mary Chan, Chief Executive Officer
From: James Wong, General Manager
Date: 1 April 2010
Subject: Solutions on recent complaints
Background
Our MP4 products have been publicly released for several months with good responses until recently an increasing number of complaints is noted on their serious defects. Moreover, there exists a decline in customer satisfaction with our frontline staff’s services. These two components have seriously damaged our company’s reputation and needed prompt and proper solutions.
Purpose
There was a meeting between managers of different departments (William Ng, Kin Ho, Ryan Yau & James Wong) at 26 March. This memo serves to report what have been discussed in the meeting …show more content…
A period of two weeks is given for all departments to prioritize, tackle and follow up our utmost matters and other possible issues. After which, a brief evaluation will be done.
Recommendations
The following is a summary of the recommendations we would like to make:
(1) Cease and hold the orders of MP4s: holding the orders of MP4 supplies is our prioritized concern while awaiting further instructions from the audit reports on the lagging problem. If the problem persists, we will consider selecting another supplier from our approved vendor list to assure our products possessing the best possible standards to our consumers.
(2) Follow-ups with the logistics company’s representatives: Adding more plastic pads in product containers will be proposed to the logistics company. The cushion-like pads can absorb the shock brought by the shaking of the ships and minimize the damages such as scratches caused through the shipment processes.
(3) More budget allocation to training costs: Considering our quality of front-line services, we could hold more training courses to refine and correct our staff’s mindsets and problem-solving skills. The courses would focus on “actual scenarios” training to provide our staff with more hands-on
