Customers and Quality First

We at Yokogawa strive to achieve greater customer satisfaction at our offices and factories around the world.

Yokogawa Electric (Japan) has conducted a customer satisfaction survey since 2008 on all customers who have received a product seminar at our training centers in Japan. In 2011, 1628 questionnaires were collected, and the results were compiled and analyzed. Concurrently, a system was put in place to share the survey responses and comments among all employees on the company's intranet in order to help improve product functions and services.
In its customer services, Yokogawa Electric Asia Pte. Ltd. in Singapore places an emphasis on flexibility and speed in addition to quality, delivery schedule and cost. It measures and monitors its customer satisfaction through completion and delivery ratio and corrective action request (CAR). Moreover, it conducts Customer Satisfaction Survey to identify the customer satisfaction level every two years.
Yokogawa Australia Pty. Ltd. in Australia conducted a customer satisfaction survey on the Internet last year. According to the survey results, 95% of the respondents said they would recommend Yokogawa Australia to others.

The Group companies are also obtaining feedback from customers through e-mailed surveys, customer visits, mailed questionnaires and conversations at product seminars, so as to provide more satisfactory products and services.

Since the establishment, we have implemented our quality management system across all processes, as we are convinced that Quality First Approach is the basis of customer satisfaction. All the main Group companies have attained ISO9001 certification starting with Yokogawa Electric in 1992 and working on delivery of the same quality worldwide.

We have continuously valued our customers' feedback to develop satisfactory products, and have gained a high level of satisfaction from our customers with respect to the accuracy and functionality of our products.
