Customer Satisfaction Survey

To evaluate the impact of the UNIDO-ACMA programme on its participants, a satisfaction survey questionnaire was circulated to all completed clusters. The focus lay on the overall effectiveness of the programme, the sustainability, the tools learnt as well as theimprovements relating to the overall process. Additional focus lay on business results and/or organizational culture, suggestions for a potential future engagement with ACMA/UNIDO, and new counselling services to be offered…

It was found that low employee motivation, followed by low quality standards, and high operating costs are the major issues that firms were struggling with. Low employee motivation is a major issue that has repercussions in other areas of business operations. Therefore, it is vital to address these issues. Most of the companies recorded improvements after taking part in the UNIDO-ACMA programme.

The results of the responses received from completed clusters revealed that program was excellent in terms of overall effectiveness and overall content. A survey of 18 companies provided a rating of 4.6 (out of 5) in terms of overall effectiveness of the programme and provided a rating of 4.7 for the content.

Companies responded that the program helped them gain a better understanding of the customer requirements in the changing and difficult times. The content of the program was deemed especially useful in issues pertaining to quality management, 5S, total employee involvement, and productivity improvement.

Companies were satisfied with the usefulness of the content for improving total employee involvement as about 95% of the companies provided a rating of 4 or 5 in this aspect. Similarly, for quality management, 83% of the companies provided a rating of 4 or 5 and for productivity improvement about 78% of the companies provided a rating of 4 or 5.

Overall, most of the companies found it useful and assessed tangible benefits such as lower operating costs, energy savings, less defects rates,as well as intangible benefits such as higher employee motivation, and customer satisfaction.
