Abstract
Vodafone Ghana previously, Ghana Telecom is a company in the
telecommunications industry in Ghana that delivers a widespread of services
including voice, messaging, data and fixed communications. In increasing
Vodafone’s market share and maintaining Vodafone’s relevance in the market, a
needs assessment was conducted to identify the gaps in their services and later a
proposed solution was provided.
From the needs assessment, the gap identified was the differences in the time the
company uses to solve a broadband or mobile data complaint and the time the
customers expect their complaints to get solved. It was concluded that Vodafone had
and issue concerning service quality and needed a system that will ensure efficiency
and increase customer satisfaction.
Reviewed literature revealed that Vodafone had a problem with the responsive
aspect of their services. In relation to this problem identified, reviewed articles
continued to highlight on the importance of service quality and how it is important in
increasing both customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. In addition, the study
provided ways in which service providers in the telecommunication industry could
enhance their services which informed the proposed solution which was a service
blueprint in association with the value stream mapping tool. The proposed solution
suggested that Vodafone had to look at their value stream, to take out non value added
processes that reduce the responsive aspect of their service quality. The removal of
non-value added processes will not only ensure that Vodafone’s services are efficient but will ensure that the preferences of customers are catered for.
