Customer – Complaint response time

This measure provides data on the length of time it takes to respond to a customer complaint. It does not indicate whether or not the complaint was dealt with satisfactorily but a quick initial response time can be a key contributor to the satisfactory conclusion of a customer complaint process by helping to contain or prevent further unnecessary build up of the situation on the part of the customer (who then knows the situation is in-hand).
