Adaptação da escala SERVQUAL para avaliação da qualidade dos serviços no contexto da construção de edificações multifamiliares

Silva, Marcelo Benetti Corrêa da 01 April 2011 (has links)
As expectativas e percepções dos compradores de imóveis habitacionais de alto padrão na cidade de Caxias do Sul-RS frente aos serviços recebidos é o tema pesquisado neste trabalho, que objetiva desenvolver uma compreensão teórica e prática de como os clientes percebem a qualidade do serviço na construção habitacional. Utilizando como referência a escala SERVQUAL (PARASURAMAN; ZEITHAML; BERRY, 1988), foi implementada uma pesquisa de caráter quantitativo e descritivo. Inicialmente foi realizada a sua adequação e a validação do instrumento de coleta de dados, um questionário estruturado, ao contexto proposto para estudo. A pesquisa foi operacionalizada em 9 empresas da região, onde 33 empreendimentos forma avaliados, resultando em 130 casos válidos, 20,70% do total da amostra. Tendo como base a SERVQUAL, por meio de análise fatorial se buscou avaliar os atributos e dimensões que compõe a qualidade do serviço neste setor. Como resultado, verificou-se que 22 atributos agrupados em 3 dimensões (Competência, Confiabilidade e Responsividade) resultam em 71,68% da variância explicada da amostra, configurando estas dimensões como uma escala SERVQUAL modificada. A partir desta escala, pôde-se identificar e avaliar as discrepâncias existentes na qualidade dos serviços no sentido de direcionar as empresas a maximizar a qualidade nos serviços e a satisfação dos seus clientes. Os resultados dos Gaps apontaram para valores negativos em todos os atributos e dimensões da qualidade dos serviços. Por fim, foram propostos direcionamentos para possibilitar a melhoria da qualidade percebida pelos clientes deste mercado. De forma prática, o objetivo é orientar e formar uma base de dados para o processo de tomada de decisão no processo de melhoria dos serviços prestados no setor da construção civil, contribuindo com diretrizes que possibilitem o incremento na qualidade dos serviços prestados no setor em análise. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-04T16:35:20Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Marcelo Benetti Correa da Silva.pdf: 3888077 bytes, checksum: 4eb19ace5d6566688cb4e07b4ef70959 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-06-04T16:35:20Z (GMT).

Using as reference the SERVQUAL (PARASURAMAN; ZEITHAML; BERRY, 1988), it has been implemented as a quantitative and descriptive research. First, it reported the suitability and validation of the data collection, a structured questionnaire, the proposed study framework. The survey was implemented in 33 projects of nine companies, resulting in 130 valid cases, 20,70% of the sample. Based on the SERVQUAL, the factor analysis has been used to evaluate the attributes and dimensions that comprise service quality in this sector. As a result, it was found that 22 attributes grouped into three dimensions (competence, reliability and responsiveness) result in 71.68% of the explained variance of the sample, setting these dimensions as a modified SERVQUAL. From this scale, we could identify and evaluate the existing discrepancies in the quality of service in directing businesses to maximize service quality and customer satisfaction. The results of the Gaps pointed to negative values in all attributes and dimensions of service quality. Finally, we proposed possible directions for improving the perceived quality of this market. Practically, the goal is to guide and form a database for the decision making process in order to improve service in the construction industry, contributing to guidelines that allow for the increase in quality of service in the industry under review.

An effective quality managemnt approach for new product development process

Mali-Swelindawo, Bongiwe January 2012 (has links)
Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Master of Technology: Quality in the Faculty of Engineering At the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012 / New Product Development (NPD) is a complicated process that determines success or failure of any company engaging in product development processes. Over the past years, due to the current highly competitive market environment, poor management skills, lack of innovation and customer concern, many companies are struggling to develop new products while simultaneously maintaining high quality of each of these new products. Various studies described that quality management is critical to prolong the life cycle of new products. Thus, this study focused on the key success factors of NPD and integrated quality management strategies into NPD process. This study was conducted at a local plastic packaging and load securing company in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. A combination of both qualitative and quantitative research approaches was conducted. Both management (n1=5) the staff members (n2=24) who are involved in the NPD process were selected as samples. A semi-structured questionnaire and several interviews (in-depth and focused group) were utilised for data collection. A statistical programme (SPSS V20) was employed to generate descriptive statistical results and test the reliability of all the variables. The study results identified that the key quality determinants of the NPD process were are NPD reviews, verifications and validations. In addition, for the NPD process to be successful, the company should focus on the development of the NPD strategy, availability of skills and resources including NPD competence, product quality, empowered multidisciplinary teams and effective risk management. Based on the research findings, this study recommends that the company should have more focuses on the areas of customer dissatisfaction, product quality, and prototype planning in their NPD processes.
