UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMICS HO CHI MINH CITY International School of Business - Dang Thi Ngoc Xuan SOLUTIONS TO ENHANCE SERVICE QUALITY AT AKZONOBEL POWDER COATINGS VIET NAM COMPANY ID: 22120083 MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION SUPERVISOR: PGS TS Tran Ha Minh Quan Ho Chi Minh City – Year 2015 Abstract The “servitization of business” (Vander Merwe and Rada, 1988) is movement even in manufacturing industry So AkzoNobel Powder Coatings who is a leading manufacturer in Viet Nam powder coatings industry focus on customers, products and service commitments continuously Delivering an efficient and effective customer service is their primary objective They deliver activities to promote business through the provision of technical support, problem solving and other services for customers They serve a wide and diverse group of manufactures including architecture, automotive and other products Moreover, through previous reports on yearly customer satisfaction survey, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings recognize that their customers‟ satisfaction and loyalty are decreasing currently due to low service quality measured through SERVQUAL (Parasuraman et al., 1985) It is essential to design the improving customer service plan for AkzoNobel to maintain and develop the business performance This lead to the purpose of this thesis: The first objective is to investigate the real cause of service quality problem influencing on business performance, focusing on quality dimensions Particularly, this study aims to investigate the service quality gap that is defined as the real cause of difference between customer expectations and perceptions of service through the Gap model (Bergman & Klefjo, 1994) Importantly, the final objective is to build the improving action plan, especially for complaint handling to enhance the customer service process at AkzoNobel Powder Coatings Viet Nam To achieve the research objectives, the empirical study and literature study undertaken Quality dimensions, service quality gaps and quality measures in manufacturing company were the three areas that are reviewed in the literature review study AkzoNobel Powder Coatings Viet Nam has a wide service portfolio with different types of services, which can be classified as product oriented and relationship based Through survey, interviews and secondary data analysis, quality measures and gaps relevant for service quality problems were identified, and the purpose could be fulfilled Keywords: powder coatings, service quality, customer satisfaction, complaint, solutions Nomenclature ANPCVN AkzoNobel

background to the research is presented followed by an introduction of AkzoNobel Powder Coatings Viet Nam with the service portfolio Furthermore, the service quality problem that is developed cause-and-effect tree is also justified 1.1 Powder Coatings Powder coating which is a dry finishing process that has become extremely popular since its introduction in North America over 40 years ago Representing over 15% of the total industrial finishing market, powder is used on a wide array of products More and more companies specify powder coatings for a high quality, durable finish, allowing for maximized production, improved efficiencies, and simplified environmental compliance Used as functional and decorative finishes, powder coatings are available in an almost limitless range of colors and textures, and technological advancements Powder coatings are based on polymer resin systems, combined with curatives, pigments, leveling agents, flow modifiers, and other additives These ingredients are melting mixed, cooled, and ground into a uniform powder similar to baking flour A process called electrostatic spray deposition is typically used to achieve the application of the powder coating to a metal substrate This application method uses a spray gun, which applies an electrostatic charge to the powder particles, which are then attracted to the grounded part After application of the powder coating, the parts enter a curing oven where, with the addition of heat, the coating chemically reacts to produce long molecular chains, resulting in high cross-link density These molecular chains are very resistant to breakdown Powder coatings can also be applied to nonmetallic substrates such as plastics and medium density fiberboard 1.2 AkzoNobel Powder Coating Viet Nam AkzoNobel Powder Coatings is truly global business, with around 4,000 dedicated employees spread throughout five continents, head office in Sassenheim, The Netherlands They have around 30

a SMaRT certification st AkzoNobel Powder Coatings Viet Nam (ANPCVN) who is today leading supplier powder coatings for more than 300 buying customers in Viet Nam, is one of the many companies that have been going through the service transition They offer negative, then dissatisfaction occurs, otherwise, the Service Quality is achieved This equation is usually called gap analysis (Zahari et al., 2008), but as it was emphasized, this approach only measures gap Another potential indicator of poor quality is customer complaints Complaints can be used for identifying “satisfiers” (attributes or performance leading to satisfaction) and “dissatisfiers” (attributes or performance causing dissatisfaction) (Edvardsson & Friman, 2003) The distinction between satisfiers and dissatisfiers is important in order to understand in what way dimensions affects customer satisfaction For instance, increased reliability might not lead to increased satisfaction whereas lower reliability might lead to dissatisfaction (Johnston, 1995) However, research suggests caution in using complaints as a measure of quality since it has shown to be a weak predictor of loyalty and repurchase intention (Edvardsson & Roos, 2003) and the fact that only a few dissatisfied customers actually complain makes it a weak predictor of satisfaction as well (Bergman & Klefsjö, 2010) A product‟s quality can more or less be objectively measured and compared to other similar products Service quality, on the other hand, cannot be measured by only studying the outcome of the service process because the experience during the service delivery also has an influence on the perceived service quality (Parasuraman et al., 1988) Swartz and Brown (1989) clarified this by making a distinction on “what” is delivered and “how” it is delivered Table 12 List of quality measures Overview of different measures mentioned by different researchers Parasuraman et al (1985) Cronin & Taylor (1992) Klaus & Maklan (2012) Defeo (2001) Elliot (1993) Edvardsson & Roos (2003) Customer perception (SERVQUAL) Customer perception (SERVPERF) Customer perception (EXQ) Cost of poor quality Absence of defects, failure rate, disconformities Customer complaints Definitions of service quality hold that this is the result of the comparison that customers make between their expectations about a service and their perception of the way the service has been performed (Lehtinen & Lehtinen, 1982; Lewis & Booms, 1983, Gronroos, 1984; Parasuraman et al., 1985; 1988; Caruana, 2002) The definition of service quality was further developed as “the overall evaluation of a specific service firm that results from comparing that firm‟s performance with the customer‟s general expectations of how firms in that industry should perform” (Parasuraman et al., 1988) Frambach et al (1997) proposed a classification that consider if the service is provided pre-sale, during-sale, or after-sale Services prior the purchase decision are services which aid the buyer in the decision process and help with the adoption of the product for instance by demonstrating usage Services directly related to the purchase decision, during-sale services, will support the customer to take the product into purchase use like installation and training Finally, services following the decision, after-sale services, aim to keep the customer satisfied with the purchase by failure handling and maintenance for example Therefore, adding service can be a strategic way for firms to add value to the customer, and grow to their business in a competitive market Moreover, service quality and customer satisfaction were found to be related to customer loyalty through repurchase intentions (Levesque & Mc Dougall, 1996; Newman, 2001; Caruana, 2002) The practice of excellent service quality has been proven that customer satisfaction will significantly lead to customer loyalty (Caruana et al., 2000; Caruana, 2002) Table 13 Definitions of the five quality dimensions proposed by Parasuraman et al (1988) Quality Dimension Reliability Assurance Tangibles Empathy Responsiveness Definition Ability to perform service dependably and accurately Knowledge and courtesy of employees and their ability to inspire trust and confidence Physical facilities, equipment, and appearance of personnel Caring, individualized attention the firm provides its
