Purpose: Classify quality assurance work for munitions as service quality attributes. And to derive service elements that need improvement to improve customer satisfaction through calculation of customer satisfaction coefficient. Methods: The quality assurance service for munitions is classified as service quality based on the Kano model through a questionnaire survey of workers in military service companies located in Busan and Kyung-nam areas. Investigate current customer satisfaction with service quality of defense quality assurance activites, and calculate customer satisfaction coefficient and potential customer satisfaction improvement index. Results: Identify current satisfaction levels for service quality of defense quality assurance activites and suggest service quality factors that should be improved to improve customer satisfaction. Conclusion: The service quality factor for the defense quality assurance service was classified into 13, and the customer satisfaction coefficient was lower than the satisfaction coefficient. When looking at the current level of customer satisfaction through the Potential Customer Satisfaction Index, attractive quality factors with PCSI indices were found to be necessary for service improvement.

As well as the development of the measurement of service quality, various kinds of service measurements are also being developed. Especially the mobile telecommunication service being representative to the mobile telecommunication company would be the mostly developed area. Its development can be understood along with the development of the telecommumication companies as well as cellular companies, not only the service alone. It is a differentiated phenomenon in the current research, such as the organic influence between the service quality and product. Of course there are such products placed on sale and enjoyed the common service, but at present there is another case that the product is on the market exclusively with the mobile company in here.

The purpose of this research is to identify causalities among service quality, service value, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. A Structural Equation Model is used to test the hypothesis of conceptual model. To test the model, we collect data by conducting a survey with 508 patients. Empirical result indicates that three factors such as tangibles, assurance, and empathy have direct impact on service value and customer satisfaction. Especially, customer loyalty is positively related not with service value but with customer satisfaction.

Service Providers need to monitor the level of consumer's satisfaction on service they provide continuously and they use appropriate method to measure their operating status. They have to make a plan on their resource and infrastructure to provide their service in the right place at the right time whenever they need. Most previous studies on IT service quality are mainly focused on criteria or levels of quality measurement even though those criteria and levels should be set by considering consumer's needs. And considering for consumer's needs with managerial factors was not found on those studies. So, we suggest deducing quality factors for continuous improvement of IT service management system in this paper as identify the relative priority using QFD method which consider consumers' voices and managerial factors when decide quality factors of IT service management system introduced SLA. We also confirm that our suggestion is practicable and applicable for current operation by case study.

For this, it is necessary fur hotel restaurants to investigate how their service providers and receivers recognize their service quality. In this research, we examined the cognitive three types of cognitive gaps among customers, service providers, and managers both on the service quality and on the positioning of hotel restaurants. Their cognitive gaps proved negatively correlated with hotel's performance. This research suggests the following findings. Firstly, the competitiveness of hotel restaurant depends on the accurate communication and consensus among managers, service providers, and customers. Secondly, using the information about cognitive gaps recognized, each hotel restaurant should develop concrete marketing plans and strategies with a careful consideration about its current competitive position and management condition.

This study aims to deveop a methodology for measuring the level of service quality in the air transportation. To measure the level of service quality, the approach taken here deals with not only the facility factors but also qualitative factors such as comfort and convenience as the influencing elements for service quality. The contents of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) For the systematic developement and management of air service, service factors of the air transportation are classified by AHP(analytic hierarchy process). (2) In computing the weight of service factors, a pairwise comparison method in AHP is used. (3) This study will suggest a method of measuring the competitive level of air service, and a result of an empirical study appling the method developed.

The study investigates the impact of strategic planning (SP) factors on service quality (SQ) in private universities (PUs) in Oman and how they fit together in the development of higher education institutions (HEIs). The reports of the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) in Oman revealed that the service quality in private universities is unsatisfactory. This study employs a quantitative method. Data were collected from a sample of 730 academics and administrators. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on AMOS software was applied for data analysis. The results of the structural paths showed that, among the strategic planning factors, only environmental scanning and leadership had a direct significant impact on service quality. However, mission statement and participation had insignificant direct impact on service quality. The findings suggest that environmental scanning and leadership are critical factors in predicting service quality dimensions of private universities. The findings add to the body of knowledge particularly in the Omani context, which can be useful in the neighboring countries as well. The study combines two different popular models in addressing service quality. The study also clarified the importance of each factor of the strategic planning process, which give a comprehensive picture of the university.

The importance of quality logistics service has kept growing in fierce competitions. Accordingly, many have tried to assess the logistics service quality and attempted to propose the strategic ways to manage it. However, it has been known that service quality is a multi-dimensional construct and not all quality attributed are viewed as equally important to customers. In other words, each quality attribute has different implications for customer satisfaction. To this respect, the current study attempted to identify the satisfying/dissatisfying quality factor through the Kana approach. In so doing, several satisfying and dissatisfying quality factors in logistics service quality were identified. Further, several academic and practical implications for logistics service quality were proposed.

This study was conducted to delineate the dimensions of delivery service quality and to investigate the causal relationships between dimensions of delivery service quality and overall customer satisfaction toward delivery service among chicken outlets. To accomplish this, 235 persons who have experienced the chicken delivery service in Seoul were surveyed. The results revealed that the service quality consisted of six factors, employee service, menu quality, extra service, other menu service, menu development, and payment. In addition, menu quality and menu development factors had a positive(+) effect on customer satisfaction. Moreover, statistical differences between some delivery service quality factors and demographic variables and between usage characteristics and demographic variables were identified. Finally, a discussion of theoretical and managerial implications and future research areas is provided.
