Incident response management
Service issues happen, but having a standard response procedure ensures minimal disruption to your business:
Background
When a valued chemical and manufacturing customer shared feedback about service they were receiving at a particular location, KAG took immediate action dispatching a team to the site to assess the situation firsthand. Prompt measures were implemented to address the areas within KAG’s control. A third party manages the scheduling and loading of KAG tankers for this location. The team provided the customer and the third party with constructive suggestions for further improvement. As a result, service has significantly improved, leading to a satisfied and happy customer.
Immediate Response
When a service issue occurs, we act quickly and communicate openly to:
1. Assess the Situation: Quickly determine the scope and impact of the issue.
2. Activate the Response Team: Inform and mobilize all relevant personnel.
3. Implement Temporary Solutions: Apply short-term fixes to mitigate the impact while working on a permanent solution.
4. Communicate: Notify affected stakeholders about the issue and the steps being taken to address it.
