For a service operation like that of banking it requires high customer contact and
the brand value of the company fosters on intangibles some of which are listed as
under:
Customer satisfaction.
A point worth remembering is that every point of contact with the customer is a
potential dent in the reputation of the bank as it increase the risk of a customer
being dissatisfied by the service rendered by the bank and hence it is imperative
that the bank decreases these occurrences with the help of more sophisticated
process supported by the right technology.
In the light of the above parameters and customer contact, the Bank given in the
case is evaluated as:
1992: 1. 5 visits to the Bank. Applicant had to sit for two interviews.

This resulted in saving of precious man hours for the Bank and also
reduced the risk of improper service by Bank officials.
Objective:
The primary objective of the policy is to reduce the customer loan disbursement
time and create healthy & convenient lending procedure. It is also aimed at
developing cordial relationship with the customer and promoting better
understanding between the borrower and the Bank.
Appraisal and Assessment of the limits, margin stipulation and validity of the
documents submitted.
Getting feedback and addressing the customer grievances post loan sanction.
Strategy:
In order to achieve the stated objectives the Bank could have the following points in
hindsight while designing their strategy:
People nowadays have become very busy with their official work. So coming
to the bank frequently is not possible.
In general, patience and tolerance level have come down. People are ready to
pay a fraction of money extra for immediate and convenient service.
So, the model below tries to leverage on the application of information technology
and scheduling mechanism to design a service plan. A “milestone” is the end of a
stage that marks the completion of a work package or phase. In our strategy we
target completion dates for each and then have some buffer time for unforeseen
circumstances.
The online page for Home loan disbursement should be designed to provide
comprehensive information in lucid terms about all the terms and conditions for the
loan. It should also lay down in simple words:
The home page can have a real time chat interface with customer service people to
assist them in case of any difficulty in filling up the form. An EMI calculator is also
recommended on the loan home page to help customers in finding out how much of
loan they can afford.
