INTRODUCTION
Customer plays a vital role in the marketing of goods
and services. In today’s life, goods of various kinds are used.
Varieties of goods are produced, as the satisfaction level of one
person differs from the other. Every person, have their own
assumption of, how the product must be, its look use etc, which must
be understood by the marketing man and take necessary measures to
improve the production based on customers satisfaction. Simply
production of goods, with out considering the taste, preference,
interest of consumer will result in production failure. So, in the other
words it can be said that consumer occupy the most important role in
a market.
It is the customer who occupies the most important
position in the market. The term marketing starts with the
identification of a specific need on the part of the customer and end
with the satisfaction of that need. The customer is found both at the
beginning and end at the end of marketing process. Inorder to satisfy
the needs and desires of customer the goods must be delivered at the
right time, at the right place and at an acceptable price. The marketing
concept states that the customers want satisfaction is the economic
and social justification of the firm’s existence.

6Management Project
The buyer is exposed to a world of information new
products, new services and new uses for existing products, new ideas
and new styles. His attitude towards this bombardment of information
is peculiar. He is a riddle and is a highly entity. He perceives and
retain only what he would normally like to perceive and retain. When
the buyer takes a buying decision there in no rigid rule to bind him.
Some times the decision is taken on the spot. Sometimes he may
decide after a long search. So it is clear that an in-dept study of the
customers his profile, his characteristics and buying behaviour is
always relevant.
The problem of solving the puzzle of the buyer
behaviour is not easy. The behaviour depends up on the buyer’s needs
keep on changing. What motivates him? How does he react to a new
product introduced in the market? Why does he buy a specific brand
from a particular shop? These are some of the questions learned by a
marketing man. The govt.and customers forums have to predict needs
and protect the rights of the customers any wrong inference in this
process will affect all the concerned players in the market adversely.
The customer goods can be divided in to customer
durable goods and non-durable goods. Durable goods are those goods,
which can be used for a long period of time. But non-durable goods
are mainly single-use equipments like soap washing powder etc.
example for durable goods are washing machine, television etc.

With mobility, the customer profile keeps changing
and the market become volatile or fluid. The expectation of customer
change, their life style changes, their needs and behaviour also
changes. And this result in segmentation of markets sharply which
were until then fairly homogenous. Now, it can be seen that there is
more expenditure on non-food items than on food items; the
respective shares of transport, communication, education and
recreation also have been steadily going up.
Statement of the problem
The study is titled that ‘A Study on Customer Satisfaction
With Reference to Nadukkara Agro Processing Company Ltd,
Muvattupuzha’.
Scope of study
Customer are the lifeline of any organization because
they keep its products moving and customers have emulated from a
mere purchasing instruments to a matured substance who knows each
and every aspect about the product, they have become more aware
and one would be surprised with the extent of their awareness and
they come with multi dimensional aspirations, any how satisfying and
keeping on satisfying the customer in an integral part, this study
which focus on the integral part of the satisfaction is an eye opener to
the company and could be compared with firms of similar type hence
this study has a wide scope.

PROFILE OF THE ORGANISATION
The finest farms in Kerala
The JIVE ranges of products are the fruits of the farmers
of Muvattupuzha, Kerala. This area is known for its extensive
cultivation of pineapple. JIVE is the outcome of a project promoted
by the Kerala Horticulture Development Program (KHDP), a venture
between the European Union and Government of Kerala. Recognizing
Kerala’s vast potential, the KHDP’s principal aim has been to
promote growth of high quality horticulture and at the same time
provide substantial direct benefits to the farmers. To meet this
objective, it has setup a fruit- processing factory for processing
mango, pineapple, papaya and other tropical fruits. These products
from the vehicle for generating supplementary income for farers.
A State-of-the-art factory
9 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
10Management Project
The factory is located at Nadukkara, and is managed
by Nadukkara Agro Processing Company. It conforms to international
norms and has earned both the ISO 9002 and HACCP certification;
Nadukkara Agro Processing Company Ltd. (NAPCL) is a public
limited company with farmers holding 70% share and Government of
Kerala 30%. It functions with the active involvement of European
Union and has become member of SGF, an organization of fruit juice
manufacturers from the European Community. Farmer’s registered
with the company supply fresh Pineapples. The fruits are taken care of
at every stage in their growth and are plucked only at the right
moment for use. They are processed and packed through the most
hygienic and high tech methods prevalent in the world.
An assurance of quality
Our products can measure up to the strictest of
international norms. Every product in our product range goes through
stringent quality control measures, before it appears in its final form
before the customer. From the section of the best fruit, to the aseptic
packing, there are no compromises. Modern crop management
techniques, use of high quality suckers, scientific farming and post
harvesting method are incorporated so that the fruits are the best in
taste and goodness. The raw materials selected are the finest, and
online analysis by qualified professionals control the parameters
during production and guarantees a final product that is consistently
good. The factory uses the very latest automated equipments from
India and Europe. Every stage of the operation is automated,
10 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
11Management Project
eliminating the possibility of contamination altogether. No wonder
then, that the Nadukkara Agro Processing Company has earned
widespread recognition for its high standards – as the ISO 9002 and
HACCP certification will bear witness.
High tech processing
Plucked at the ripe time for processing, the fruits
procured are the very best of the produce. Using controlled processing
conditions, concentrates; RTS and candies of uniform taste, aroma
and flavour are produced. There are 3 products lines:
Concentrate Line
The factory can process 3.5-tones/hour input of
pineapple and concentrate it to normally 60 Bx using a single stage
scrapped surface vacuum concentrator. The finished product is
aseptically packed in 220 Liter bag-in-drum. Mango is produced at the
rate of 2-tones/hour inputs and concentrated to 28 Bx during the
mango season. Produce is exported as well as supplied all over India.
RTS (ready to serve)
11 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
12Management Project
The RTS line employs a Tetra Pack TBA/9 machine
with an out put of 6,000 cartons/hour of 250ml size. Cartons are
automatically packed 27 to a tray and shrink wrapped.
Candied fruit

LITERATURE FRAME WORK
Definition of CUSTOMER SATISFACTON
The company’s ability to fulfill the business, emotional
and psychological needs of its customers.
Quality of your service delivery expected by the customers
Providing good service in a pleasant manner and meeting
the customer’s expectations.
A measure of the degree to which a product or service
meets the customer’s expectation.
A measurement or indicator of the degree to which
customers or users of an organization’s products or services are
pleased with those products services, typically measured by an
attitude questionnaire.
If the customer’s expectations of product quality, service
quality and price are exceeded, a firm will achieve high levels of
16 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
17Management Project
customer satisfaction and will create “customer delight”. If the
customer’s expectations are not met, customer dissatisfaction will
result. And the lower satisfaction level, the more likely the customer
is to stop buying from the firm…
Comparison of expectations versus perception of experience.
Customer Service
Who involved in servicing your customers? Who needs to
be?
How well are the people on the front lines of your company
trained?
How consistent is their execution?
Would your rate your customer service as something worth
talking about?
Would you be return customer at your company?
Is customer service leading consistently to additional revenue?
What’s the word on the street about you?
There are a few questions to prompt your to consider
how your customer views your company and to high light
opportunities for improvement.
17 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
18Management Project
Many companies today struggle to become truly
significant because they are trying to increase revenue and
productivity and gain market share using the “survival skills” that
helped start the business. As the scope of the business changes, the
hard work and force-of-will effort that were essential to early survival
can become an obstacle to a drag on future growth. This is especially
true when it comes to servicing customers.
Superior customer service is the easiest way for
businesses to differentiate and distance themselves from the
competition, but it also the most overlooked and underutilized. One
thing is certain; you can’t put customer service in a box and delegate
it to specific persons or roles in your company and expect to have
loyal customers. Great service should equal loyal customers that
should equal unsolicited referrals. Customer satisfaction should be the
lowest level of acceptable service in your company.
Customer Loyalty
“It takes a lot less money to increase your retention of
current customers than to find new ones- but I know I don’t give it
much effort as I should because it does take a lot of energy and
effort!”
STRATEGIZE AND PLAN FOR LOYALTY
18 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
19Management Project
These four factors will greatly effect your ability to build a loyal
customer base:
1. Products that are highly differentiated from those of the
competition.
2. Higher-end products where price is not the primary
buying factor.
3. Products with a high service component.
4. Multiple products for the same customer.
Market to your own customers
Giving a lot of thought to your marketing programs aimed
at current customers is one aspect of building customer loyalty. When
you buy a new car, many dealers will within minutes try to sell you an
extended warranty, an alarm system, and may be rust proofing. It’s
often a very easy sale and costs the dealer almost nothing to make.
Are there additional products or services you can sell your customers?
Use Complaints To Build Business!
When customers aren’t happy with your business they
usually won’t complain to you-instead, they’ll probably complain to
just about everyone else they know- and take their business to your
competition next time. That’s why an increasing number of businesses
are making follow-up calls or mailing satisfaction questionnaires after
19 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
20Management Project
the sale is made. They find that if they promptly follow up and resolve
a customer’s complaint, the customer might be even more likely to do
business than the average customer who didn’t have a complaint.
In many business situations, the customer will have many
more interactions after the sale with technical, service or customer
support people than they did with the sales people. So if you’re
serious about retaining customers or getting referrals, these
interactions are the ones that are really going to matter. They really
should be handled with the same attention and focus that sales calls
get because in a way they are sales calls for repeat business
Reach Out To Your Customers!
Contact…contact…contact with current customers is a
good way to build their loyalty. The more the customer sees someone
from your firm, the more likely you’ll get the next order. Send
Christmas cards, see them at trade show, stop by to make sure
everything’s okay.
Send a simple newsletter to your customers-tell them
about the great things that are happening at your firm and include
some useful information for them. Send them copies of any media
clippings about your firm. Invite them to free seminars. The more they
know about you, the more they see you as someone out to help them,
the more they know about your accomplishments-the more loyal a
customer they will be.
20 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
21Management Project
Loyal Customers and Loyal Workforces
Building customers loyalty will be a lot easier if you
have a loyal workforce-not at all a given these days. It is especially
important for you to retain those employees who interact with
customer such as sales people, technical support, and customer service
people. Many companies give a lot of attention to retaining sales
people but little to support people.
The increasing trend today is to send customer-service
and technical-support calls into queue for the next available person.
This builds no personal loyalty and probably less loyalty for firm.
The growing number of academic studies
On customer satisfaction and the mixed findings they
report complicate effort among managers and academics to identify
the antecedents to and outcome of businesses having more versus less
satisfied customers. These mixed findings and the growing emphasis
by the manager on having satisfied customers point to the value of
empirically synthesizing the evidence on customer satisfaction to
assess current knowledge. To this end the author conducts a meta-
analysis of the reported findings on customer satisfaction. They
documented that equity and disconfirmation are most strongly related
to customer satisfaction on average. They also find that measurement
and method factor that characterize the research often moderate
relationship strength between satisfaction and its antecedents and
21 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
22Management Project
outcomes. The author discusses the implication surrounding these
effects and several directions for future research.
GETTING STARTED WITH CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Talk and interact informally with your customers first (no
clearance required)
Use focus groups when you need more structured approach to
talking to your customers (clearance required).
Digest this information and reflect upon how it can help you improve
your customer service when combined with additional information.
Only then make plants for full-blown surveys to validate this
qualitative information and gather the additional needed data.
Thinking Small: Customer satisfaction depends on your attitude
Sales not where you want them no matter what you do?
Just above everyone with a sales force has had this
problem at one time or another, but there are tools to increase sales
through customer satisfaction. Successes will depend on your sales
force obtaining the money, time and recognition they feel they
deserve. Frankly, unless you buy into the project, you will be the only
loser.
22 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
23Management Project
Blindly throwing money at your sale people won’t work.
That’s been tried. All it does is make them wealthy. So how can you
satisfy the wants and needs of your customers and your sales people
and stay solvent in the process? Try a customer-satisfaction incentive
program. Here’s an outline that has worked for several companies.
Modify it, change it, and make it yours.
Set a few achievable goals. A goal could be: “After the
customer buys the first time, they continues to buy, increasing their
order each time”. Or,” When the customer buys, they like us so well
they recommended others to our product or services, so we will give
them a discount on their next order”. Still another measurement goal
might be, “Our regular customers increases their order by 10% each
month. And we reward that behavior with lower prices”.
23 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
24Management Project
Consideration for Information Collections of Customer Satisfaction by Regulators of Regulated Entities
Do collect customer’s opinion of what they want and
their satisfaction with what they are getting.
Don’t use customer satisfaction surveys as the vehicle to
collect information on the objectives outcomes of an agency
program.
Do provide creditable confidentiality for your customer
response.
Don’t collect procedures that identify our customers so
that they perceive that their responses could be used against
them.
Do collect information that your customers perceive as
innocuous and of potential benefit to them.
Don’t collect information that your customer could
perceive as threatening their interest.
Do use information collection that you have tested to
ensure that they are quick and easy to complete and provide the
information you need.
Don’t use long, confusing, burdensome collection
instruments.
24 Ilahia College of Arts & Science
25Management Project
Do design the information collection process to ensure
high response rate when you want to make decision based on
the results or make generalized statement about your customer.
Don’t be concerned about response rates when you
intend your information collections only to initiate
understanding and insight.
Do ask questions about items that are “actionable,” i.e.,
items that your agency can change within existing constraints.
Don’t ask questions that will raise your customers’
expectations about changes that agency can’t or won’t
implement.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology
Research is the art of scientific investigation. It is common way
of search for knowledge. Research in common parlance refers to a
search for knowledge. One can also define research as a scientific and
systemic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. Intact
research can also be thought as a careful investigation or inquiry
especially through search for new facts in any branch knowledge.
The relevant data on the subject under study has been collected
from both primary and secondary data sources. Questionnaire method
was used for collecting primary data. Primary data required for this
study were generated from customers.
The study is conducted during the period from January 5th to
February 10th 2008. The sample size is respondents from customer
and 50 are sample are selected for the study by adopting convenience
sampling method. The questions used for the study were closed and
27 Ilahia College of Arts & Science

questions and the representative are approached directly. Before the
actual survey a pilot study comparing five individual also have been
conducted to have and in sight into various facts of the problem.
The secondary data for the study were collected from books,
magazines, journals, newspapers, Internet etc. the information
provided by the respondents were suitably classified, tabulated and
analyzed with the help of the simple percentage method. It is the
simplest way of analyzing the interrelated features of the data. The
result of the study represented by table, chart and diagrams.
1. Research Design
It is a master plan or model for the conduct of formal
investigation and survey. It is the specification of method and
procedure for acquiring the information needed for solving the
problems. Research design specially mentioned how the data require
for the study is to be collected.
Research design is a blue print for doing research in a most
effective way.
A research design is the arrangement of condition for collection
and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevant to the
purpose with economy in procedure. Three these type of research
design.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
In order to extract meaningful information from the data
collected, the analysis and interpretation is carried out. The data as
first edited coded and tabulated for the purpose of analyzing them.
One editing, coding and tabulating is a must when the interviewer
amassed a huge amount of data concerning the research project at
land.
The analysis basically aimed of giving interference of
association or differences between the various variables in the
research. The analysis was conducted by using simple statistical tools
like percentage, average and measures of dispersion. Alternatively,
the collected data was analyzed by using tables and graphs. Data in
cross-tabulated to produce useful relationship among the variables
involved.
Finally meaning of data extracted the analysis thus
conducted. The conclusion, summary and recommendation of
research are base on the statistical analysis and reference drawn.
