At the Fault unit, Faults Response Teams are made up of three members (Driver, two Electricians) In a recent survey of ECG customers on customer satisfaction with regards to ECG fault resolution, two questions were asked ECG clients: how quickly they like to have their faults resolve and what they consider as an acceptable wait for faults to be resolve. The survey revealed the following: - 25% of clients said they want their faults to be resolve within 1 hour - 50% want their faults resolve within 2 hours - 25% want their faults resolve within 3 hours All customers agreed that a waiting time of 3 hours or more is unacceptable. The ECG management team wants a solution that offers customer a seamless experience with as little hassle and time wasted as possible.
