Executive Summary
Deutsche Allgemeinversicherung (“DAV”) is one of the world’s largest insurance companies.
DAV’s traditional business model was exceeding customer experience for the quality of service in order to maintain current customers and attract new ones. One of the challenges that DAV faced was processing and retrieving information and data without errors in a timely manner across their multiple divisions and various locations. Improving quality was a high priority as there was increasing competition. Annette Kluck, the Head of Operations, wanted to improve their quality of customer service by starting a Process Measurement and Improvement (“PMV”) project by using statistical process control (“SPC”).
The use of on-line technology and a pilot program in the New Customer Policy Process department is recommended to help improve the accuracy and customer service experience. Monthly and quarterly meetings will be held to monitor the recommendations to see if performance and productivity is up to standards
