Resolve a customer issue and close the loop

What was communicated to the customer, and does the cause need separate work?

The team lead works from issue. The record makes customer informed and satisfied / escalated clear to the next person.

    What we prepare togetherThe relevant resources are available for the tasks that use them.

  2. 02

    Agree the responsibilities

    Confirm person raising the issue, assigned team member and team lead for this method, then choose the people eligible to receive its work.

    What we prepare togetherThe method names who contributes, reviews and receives the next work.

  3. 03

    Walk through the selected route

    Choose the task, eligible recipients and deadline, then walk through the actual response fields.

    What we prepare togetherYour team sees the response and the resulting next step before extending the method.

Your questions

Prepare the method for your team

What stays with the recorded response?

The response for this occurrence retains customer informed, satisfied / escalated and nonconformance raised?. It belongs to the work being reviewed, rather than replacing a different occurrence's record.

Which materials do we need to bring?

Bring issue. We use those choices to prepare the working context, then check that each task opens the material it needs.

How do people receive the prepared work?

Select the prepared task and the relevant recipients when assigning work. Making a playbook available to a group and giving a person a task are separate setup choices.

What is the outcome for the wider workflow?

Customer informed; resolution recorded; systemic causes handed to NONCONFORMANCE.
