Overview: From the executive summary: ‘The Quality Assurance (QA) professionals sometimes think their responsibility ends when the customer receives a product that meets internal product specifications. That means problems in design, marketing, installation, distribution, and after-sale use and maintenance are not always fully addressed. The process used to integrate complaint data with the QA decision-making process involves six basic steps. The steps include, evaluation of problem severity, extrapolation of complaint reports to the number of incidents in the marketplace, comparison with internal measures to validate the estimate of problem severity and volume, determination of the cause of the problem, determination of the solution, and the estimation of the revenue impact of not solving the problem.’ The paper examines this issue in detail.
