![]() Interviews can tackle Complex Issues, however, requires Trained Resources. Interviews: Interviews are individual meetings with potential or existing customers where a set of questions are asked and answers are discussed to understand customer voices.Surveys are cost effective, however, have very low response rate. Surveys: Surveys are a designed set of questionnaire which is sent out to potential or existing customers.Six Sigma - Voice of AICP (Associate, Customer, Investor and Process) ![]() Voice of Process: The feedback that we get from measuring our CTPs (Critical To Process) and CTQs (Critical To Quality).Voice of Customer: The feedback that we get from our Clients and End-customers.Voice of Investor: The feedback that we get from our Management and Shareholders.Voice of Associate: The feedback that we get from our Employees.It helps translate verbatim comments (customer voices) into customer needs to product/service output characteristics (customer requirements).Īt an organization level we broadly classify VOC into four distinct categories (AICP): VOC methodology helps capture the needs of customer through stated verbatim comments (customer voices). Voice of Customer (VOC) methodology can be used to capture the customer needs – both current (stated needs) and latent (unstated needs). However, customer may buy the product/service if the “Requirement” is fulfilled and “Good to Have” features are present or not present. Customer will not buy the Air-Conditioner if all of “Good to Have” features are present but the “Requirement(s)” are not fulfilled. Customer defines these requirements and are the “musts” of a product or service.įor example in the above example of an air-conditioner, customer’s requirement is “Cool Temperature” and the rest are “Good to Have” features. Requirement is an attribute of the product or service which fulfils the needs of a customer. Organizations reputation may also be at stake if “Needs” are not met. However, if the product/service is not able to fulfill “Needs” of the customer, he/she will not use the product/service and there is a high likelihood that he/she will switch to competitors product/service. If the product/service is not able to fulfill “Wants” of the customer, the customer may only be highly displeased / dissatisfied. The main reason that we separate needs and wants are: Needs are important critical features and Wants are expectations of the product or service over and beyond the needs. It is important for the project team to understand the stated needs of the customer and separate them from wants. However, “Cool Temperature” is the need and the rest are just wants. When the customer states his/her requirements, we will often get to hear that the need is “Cool Temperature, Less Noise (quite), Cost Effective and Free of Maintenance”. Similarly, the real want from the Air-Conditioner is it has to be quite, cost-effective and maintenance free. The real need of the customer is cool temperature in the bedroom. ![]() Customers may have many stated needs which are often vague and generally are “wants” from a product/service.įor example Customer requires an Air-Conditioner for its use in his/her bed-room. Need is a desire or an expectation of a customer from a given product or service. Clients, End-Customers, Shareholders, among others. They are either the ones who use our product(s) or service(s) or have vested interest in the organization. ![]()
