In response to the problem stated above the main focus is on “ Customer Satisfactionâ€. As we all know that “Customer is the king in the marketâ€. I as a General Manager of DND , I will first focus on improving the quality of our product and will also focus on customer relationships, which is to retain customers, maintaining customers and by taking appropriate actions on customer feedback Our company aims to find new customers.

Solution
By taking the current situation of the company in mind & analyzing all the challenges it is facing, I am proposing following solution in my coordination plan .
- Proper customer service centre should be introduced for handling customer grievance and feedback. A chat box can also be introduce who will work on customer problem and it will directly report to admin team of the company. A team of 3-5 people every city will also be there and proper help line no should be there. In this way customer will not face any language issue.
- Synchronization among department is essential. Each department should insure that it efforts are aligned with the overall objective of the company – Amul which is the market leader, provide milk and other daily product at a very affordable price. Here we can say that ” coordination and synchronization is the essence of the management”.
- Close Quality measure should be taken before the product is in reach with the customer this will not only reduce the customer grievances but also increases the efficiency of the organization and increases goodwill in the market.
- Maintaining good and healthy relationships with the local vendors including wholesale suppliers, merchants etc in those cities where DND is operating & majorly those delivery boys should be hired whom having good knowledge of city routes and traffic . Here the principal of “ promote of harmony “ is used .
- A proper vision plan should be made where proper SWORT analysis already done regarding our business.
- Before expanding the business in those areas which are not approachable proper area research should be conducted make sure that in these areas are having proper infrastructure facility.
- The management of the company should come up with the sound financial plan so that company will survive in future . Company should strive towards proper break even analysis before any expansion in future.
