According to the safety control legislature, food sold to the customers should be of good quality, and it should not affect them negatively.

In the previous years, the company has been able to follow the policy and as a result, most of our customers gained satisfaction. Provision of safe and quality food was the among the major goals of the companyHowever, the goals, which are based customers satisfaction, are affected negatively by supplying to the customers foods that are of low quality.

However, recently we have received several cases of people complaining of our foods. Within a period of three months, the company has received f our complains about its products. The number of positive feedbacks from the consumers has also reduced while the number of positive feedback is on the rise. The company had initially won peoples loyalty, and was among the leading food manufacturing companies. The company makes its large profits from its customers who are from different countries. Most of the companys customers have always regarded us due to our good products, and they have turned out to be regular buyers of our products. As a company it is our duty to ensure that we maintain our good reputation to the customers so that we can earn their trust. This will help in increasing the volume of the companys sales and in turn lead to increased profits. The company will also be able to compete well with its competitors in the market and maintain its leadership position.The company has been following the Food Safety Control Legislation Policies since it started operating. In the companys council enforcement policy these policie s are included and they for bases on which the enforcement policies of the company are formed. MethodsFor this investigation I considered to use the following methods:Analyzing the complaintsI started by reading the grievance files filed by customers, complaining about the food products. I started from the files dating from year 2005 to this year, 2011. I prepared a table to record these criticisms. The table had a column for the year, number of complaints and the type of complaint. To give a clear comparison on the number of complaints in each year I also considered presenting the information on a graph that is more understandable and gives a good basis for comparison. I also considered the feedbacks received from customers. There were many feedbacks both positive and negative, and so I could not record all of them for last six years. I considered the feedbacks for this year and recorded their number in two columns one for positive feedback and the other for negative feedbacks.Gett ing Information from the CustomersI made an effort to visit some of our customers in order to enquire more about how they identified with our products. These customers included those who had filed the complaints and those who had filed complaints.Getting to Various Departments in the Company,I went to the various departments in the company in order to investigate where the problem was. I used the heads of the various departments in order to establish whether the correct procedures in food manufacturing were followed. These departments included the raw material acquisition department, mixing department, processing department, packing department and the sales department. ResultsFrom the investigations I carried out, I obtained the following results.On analyzing the complaints received from customers and recording them in the tables, I found that most of the complaints were received in this year compared to the other years. The number of complaints increased abruptly from February thi s year, where within the period the company has received ten complains from the customers.After considering the feedbacks it was found that, the positive feedbacks were declining while the negative feedbacks were increasing. When I went to the customers some of them commended the company, while others gave suggestions on what can be done to in order to improve our products and meet their expectations. Customers who gave negative feedbacks argued that, some had received expired products or the products got expired within a short period after receiving them. Some customer suggested that the packaging of the product needed to be improved in order to keep the food free from moisture. Going through the different departments in the company, I observed that most departments follow the required procedures. From the raw material acquisition department, I found that some raw materials of low quality had been acquired. The reason for acquiring them was that, the materials were cheap and would lead top reduction of the cost of producing the products.The processing departments had no issues since the correct procedures of processing were adopted. However, on reaching the packaging department some break downs arisen. The packaging was slow and most of the processed products stayed for hours without being packed into their relevant packages. In this department, also I found out that there was presence of staining on the labels and it appeared to be a staple damage. After opening the cans that were at the sales department and ready for sale, I found that a large number of them were moldy.Discussing Results Results from the raw material acquisition departments showed that, some of the raw materials were of low quality.
