The main part of the methods has been seen to include the process and the methods related to the same. It has been seen to reflect the customer satisfaction and the adaptation of the varied range of the methods. The customer satisfaction has been further seen to be observed based on the purchase of the product as per the existing purchase. The customer level of the satisfaction has been further considered as per the quality designing and product level. The five different types of the methods have been identified as per the customer needs and purchasing of the personnel and the burden carriers (Pedraza-Martinez and Van Wassenhove 2016).
Genchi Genbutsu has been considered as the Japanese method for accelerating the process as per see strategy. This strategy has been further seen to be effective for analysing the needs of the customer and the satisfaction of the particular market. The main perception of the customers has been identified with the certain product assumption which is identified and assessed. This particular technique has been identified with the individual need of the product. The vehicles are not used as per the individual customer needs and individual perception which has been considered. The consideration of this assessment technique has been seen with the conduction of one2one interview with potential customer (Rosenhead 2013).
This has been an effective strategy which has been implemented in the respective organizations. The personal level of the relationship is maintained with the customer confirmation and retention in the post sales period. With the process, personal level of the telephonic interview has been seen to be based on the customer feedback and the applause of the grievance. The organizations are seen to be communicating with the customers who are seen to be having leaser scope for assumption and speculative approach along with the intelligibility of the company as per the consideration of the customer feedback (Machado et al. 2017).

The focus group has been further seen to be identified as per the various types of the segments for the target customers. In most of the cases the companies are seen to appoint six to five groups who are focusing on the customer needs and the level of the expectation from the products which they purchase or are to buy. The various types of the feedback for the customers and the companies are seen to be proceeded with the change in the product design (Guide and Ketokivi 2015).
The main form of the methodology is known with the grievance and complaint method. This particular method has been seen to be assisting the companies in understanding the exact problems to the customers. The best way to consider the customer needs has been considered with the grievance method and manufactured products. The burden carrier and the manufacturing companies will be able to mould with the quality and the characteristics of the vehicles based on the customer needs, In addition to this, the different types of the demerits and the cost of product needs to be solved based on the related issues.
The use of the “Kano model” will be able to interpret the exact customer requirement. In total there are four types of quadrants in this model. The quadrants are seen to be helpful for understanding the positive and the negative aspects of the customer satisfaction. In this particular aspect, a survey is held by the companies for having a clear idea of the customers. The features of the organizations are analyzed through the company. The analysis is seen to be based on the required amount of the changes which are related to the promotional activities for the market. The Kano model is important for the staff based on the deployment of the customer service for understanding different segments of the product exhibited to the customers as per the requirements. The customer requirements as per the product are further seen to be customized. The figure given below has depicted the Kano model for the customer perception (Shepherd and Patzelt 2013).

The specific business is seen to be marketed as per the contracted tender marketing process. For interpreting the customer feedback and demand add on process, the different methods have been already taken into consideration. The customer perception has been discerned as per the output of the analysis which needs to be confirmed as per the hypothetical as well as observed manner. “QFD (Quality function Deployment)” is considered with analysing the exact mode of the customer perception focusing on the purchase of personnel and burden carriers. As the production process is seen to be belonging to the heavy engineering industry, it differs with the household products and the demand of the customers or retail products. With the assistance of the quality function deployment process, the satisfaction of the customers is seen to be based on the competition of the varied types of the designing features of the vehicles (Slack, Chambers and Johnston 2013).
Genchi Genbutsu Method
The execution of the customer need analysis has been seen to be based on the fourteen dissimilar but significant aspects. This particular aspect has been further seen to be based on the various types of the considerations which have been seen to be based on the questionnaire set for the interview process for the customers. The preparation of the questionnaires is further seen to be considered as per the word doc table format. The main objective of the study is seen to retrieve 300 data based on the conduction of the analysis. The study has been further seen to be based on the consideration of the different stages of the production which are consideration as per the respondents with rating aspect of (1 to 5) based on the level of severity. 1 is seen to present the least amount of severity or important factor and 5 shows the most severe or the important factor (Schiraldi 2013).

- Distribution process – This is done by assigning a burden carrier among the selected recipients and appropriate documentation to avoid errors.
- Invoicing Process – This has been further based on the ideas and funds appropriate accountability and recording of the same in the books to avoid discrepancy in the future.
The different types of the statistical process have been seen to focus on plotting of the data points for assessing the control process. Additionally, it has been normal process of monitoring of the predictive tools for unnecessary modification in the process capability. Similarly, the changes in the quality have been discerned in the SPC charts and the same has been incorporated in the organizations in the functional boundaries. In addition to this, these charts are useful in analyzing the variations to reduce the data surplus and prove about the misconceptions and specific assumptions.
Focus Groups
The methods of the SPC are seen to be consisting of 7 basic quality tools such as “control charts”, “check sheet”, “pareto chart”, “flow chart”, “cause and effect diagram”, “scatter diagram and histogram”. The three main characteristics of control chart are given below as follows:
- The control charts are seen with the sample of the data measures within the determined range of the variations.
- The “control chart” is seen to be measured as per the “lower control limits (LCL)” and “upper control limits (UCL)” which has been separated from the assigned source.
- At time when the data falls outside the control limit then the main process is seen to be out of control.
The three different types of the statistical control charts which is to be used for the decisions in the monitoring process are:
- Mean Control Chart (Variables) – The variables are designated against the sample means. This has been supposed as per the conjunction with R Charts which is listed as
UCL = x?? + A2*R? and LCL = x?? – A2*R? where A2 is the tabular value of control limits comparable to 3σ limits
Range Charts (Variables) – These charts are recorded as per the lowest and the highest value of the sample which has been able to reflect the processes variability towards the average value.
This has been discerned as – “UCL = D4 R? and LCL = D3 R? where R? = Average Range and D3 and D4 are factors for defining control limits”.
P – Charts (Attributes) – This particular type of the chart has been seen with the recording of the proportion of the defective items, with varying size and the possibility conformance and non-conformance.
It has been considered as – “UCL = p?+ zσ p and LCL = p? – zσ pwhere p? = defective proportion in the population”.
C – Charts (Attributes) – The defects are seen to be assigned as per the set sample size and measures of the center line measures and the average defects based on number of period. Unlike p chart it considers the defective items.
This has been shown with – “UCL = c?+ z and LCL = c?- z where c? = center line for the defects”.
The “SPC Chart” has been considered as per the “16 samples” over a total sub group of “n = 1 to 7”. On the other hand, the size of the sample is seen to be 30% of all the parts used in the burden carrier. The different variables associated to the level of equipments will be depending as per the supplier’s demand. The result has been created as per 7 sub-groups and the same has been tabulated below as follows:

The different type of the variables for the mean is seen to be shown by X? and average range is given by R?. The X is seen to show 16 observations for 7 samples (sub groups). Additionally, LCL and UCL is shown with the range of “UCL = x?? + A2*R? and LCL = x??” – A2*R? and the mean chart is discerned with “UCL = x?? + A2*R? and LCL = x?? – A2*R?”.
Grievance and Complaint Method
The X? and R? chart is seen to depict the process of making the parts, which cannot be used with the parts and equipment’s in the process which is seen in control. Additionally, the variables for the sample size cannot cross the upper and the lower limit as the company is seen to be in the trail period and take care of the quality by dispatching of the average parts of the equipments in the burden carrier. The Nelson Rule, as per rule 5 has been considered with two to three points above 2 SD in the same directions with the possibility and the sample is considered to be “out of control.” Additionally the positive side of the mean is unspecified.
The X and the R charts are seen to be efficient by maintaining a consistency for dispatch and maintaining the relationship with the suppliers as it is unique in the modified product in the market (Pedraza-Martinez and Van Wassenhove 2016).
The main problem is seen to be associated with the burden carriers which shows:
- Driving Hazards
- Issues
- Low Maintenance Issues
- Light Weight Issues
The “Identification”, “classification”, “fixity” and required improvements has been seen to be ensured as per the customer satisfaction as per the product purchase terms. The following problems have been considered:
- Brainstorming
- Japanese 5S
- Quality circle
- Check list
- 5 whys
- Process Flow chart
- Problems Solving Form
The important process of brain storming has been depicted with various modes of the efforts. The identification for the issues has been discerned with the customer response. The total number of the responses has been gathered and accounted as per the common issues. The retrieved data and the assessment of teh solution are shown below as follows:
- Result of brainstorming
- Ability of carrying extreme heavy weight

Conclusion:
The study has been able to state the company about the market demand. The quality and renovation of the products has been seen to be dependent on the various types of the existing requirement of customers. The improvement has been based on both structure and quality. The different types of the statistical data have been based on the implementation of the same in the report. The implementation of the different strategies has been based on basic factor. The problem has identified the variant face-offs.
