If you've called our technical help line recently, you noticed that we have
made some changes to the way we handle your requests for help. As a direct
result of a customer satisfaction poll we did last year, we modified our system
to reduce long, unpredictable hold times.
With the new system, your call
will be answered by a non-technical person which we will refer to as the Hotline
Coordinator (HC). When your call is answered by the HC, you will be asked for
your Fuji Identification Number (FIN), your name, phone number and a brief
description of your problem or question. The HC will log your request into our
computer system, and give you an estimated time when we will call back. This
permits you to go about the business in your lab while waiting for a technician.
Another advantage permits us to prioritize calls depending on the nature
of the call. Down equipment will always take precedent over operational and
maintenance questions. This permits us to give the customers who are out of
business quicker responses.
In addition to changing our system, we have
also outfitted our field force with laptop computers. These new computers permit
our field force to connect to our Mainframe computer and take hotline calls from
remote sites. This has added flexibility, giving us the ability to augment the
hotline without having to bring techs to our phone centers.
We hope that
this new system enhances our commitment to be the best equipment support group
in the industry. Please let us know your comments.
