ISO 10004:2018 – Customer satisfaction — Guidelines for monitoring and measuring

 

ISO 10004 provides guidance in defining and implementing processes to monitor and measure customer satisfaction.

In order to pursue this goal the organization should:

    identify customer expectations;
    gather customer satisfaction data;
    analyze customer satisfaction data;
    provide feedback for improvement of customer satisfaction;
    monitor customer satisfaction on-going.
