4.19 Servicing
In our company, the products we deliver may occasionally need servicing.
Rationale
We believe it is important to provide support for the products we sell. This is to avoid the risk of unhappy customers and product returns.
We believe that effective servicing of our products after delivery will result in reduced costs due to eliminating wasted effort and material. It will also ultimately result in increased business due to customer satisfaction from getting expected goods and services.
NOTE: Even when not stated in the contract, some form of product service is expected. When it goes beyond what is expected, the customer can be delighted.
Policy
Thus, in order to keep our customers satisfied, it is the policy of this company to follow the ISO 9001 section 4.19 standard on Servicing and always perform servicing that meets the specified requirements, where servicing is specified in the contract.
Where servicing is specified in the contract, we maintain our Procedure 4.19 for performing servicing and verifying that it meets the specified requirements.
