Purpose: The main purpose of this article was to identify and analyze correction activities and corrective actions, taken by medical devices’ companies, as a result of a customer complaint. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents the results of the study conducted among medical devices’ companies, operating on the Polish market. These companies have implemented and certified quality management system in accordance with the requirements of ISO 13485. In addition, these companies, as part of their activities, carry out various processes related to medical devices, but performing production process was the main criteria for qualifying the company for the study. On this basis, 209 companies, meeting these criteria, have been defined. The study was conducted using a survey questionnaire, available in electronic form. As part of the survey, 90 correctly completed survey questionnaires were received, what means that the response rate of surveys reached the level of 43%. Findings: The most important correction activities, indicated by the surveyed companies, include verification of suspicious products throughout the whole supply chain and replacement of a defective product with a new one. From the corrective actions perspective almost 70% of respondents indicated trainings of production employees. This is strongly related to the identified root causes, by these companies, as operators’ errors (50% of the causes lie with such errors). Almost 50% of respondents declared the update of work instructions as a corrective action, which is also related to the high number of indications for operator trainings. Originality/value: The article presents main activities, that are taken by the medical devices’ companies in Poland to increase the safety and performance of medical devices, if an abnormality occurs. The article may be treated as an benchmark for medical devices companies once reviewing their approach to implementing corrections and corrective actions.

The current research study aimed to explore the utility of selected problem-solving tools and techniques in root-cause analysis to demonstrate their practical application. An experimental research design adopting a positivist empirical approach with a deductive strategy was followed to assess the effectiveness of a combined (8D & Six Sigma) problem-solving approach in reducing a high defects rate of a mixer shower assembly line. A novel application of the 8D framework in combination with Six Sigma and other analytical tools was found highly effective in reducing the reject rate from 11.84% to 0.11%. Successful identification of the root cause led to the implementation of permanent corrective action ensuring a long-term stable assembly process. The research study provided a problem-solving framework that was found effective in resolving a complex problem and implementing long-term corrective action in an assembly production line. However, this framework can be used in other industries. The research study provides a solution to a high number of leak rejects in a subassembly where “O-seals” are used between mating parts. It also provides analytical tools that were found highly effective during the problem-solving process.

Data has been accumulated with the help of a sorted out survey by 200 bank customer's.

Results and conclusions: Results exhibited a low level of care about grievance redressal approach and demonstrated that private part banks have a more practical grievance redressal framework when appeared differently in relation to open range banks The study has recommendations for the bank customers to show himself seeing protesting determination handle the and furthermore the banks in suitably arranging a reasonable model of grievance redressal.

Wstęp: Skargi klientów są częścią życia każdego przedsiębiorstwa. Również dotyczy to banków. Każde przedsiębiorstwa próbuje oferować swoje produkty, najbardziej odpowiadające potrzebom klientów. W Indiach banki w ostatnich kilku latach przechodzą dość istotne zmiany i zrozumienie wyzwań, jakie muszą sprostać, jest możliwe tylko po ich dokładnym przeanalizowaniu i zdefiniowaniu. Oferowany przez banki poziom obsługi zależy od jakości oferowanych usług i produktów a nie tylko od ich szerokiej gamy. Metody: Sposób w jaki banki komunikują się z klientem oraz przyjmują skargi jest jednym ze wskaźników oceny banków. Dlatego tak ważne jest dla banku posiadanie systemu obsługi skarg i zażaleń. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie instrumentu grievance redressal, jego zastosowania i użyteczności. Dane zostały zebrane na podstawie wywiadu z 200 klientami banku. Następnie poddano je analizie statystycznej przy użyciu metody SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), wyliczając takie miary jak częstotliwość, średnia, odchylenie standardowe, rozkład Pearson chi-square czy ANOVA. Wyniki i wnioski: Wyniki wykazały niski poziom zainteresowania zarządzaniem skargami. Banki prywatne mają praktyczniejszy sposób obsługi skarg aniżeli banki branżowe. Wykazano konieczność dalszej poprawy systemu obsługi zażaleń i konieczności podnoszenia świadomości istotności tego zagadnienia.
