  21. Vision for the Future Program • Provide customer focused, user friendly program that continually assesses customer satisfaction and provides metrics. • Build a streamlined program, easier to execute for the ITO/TMO and program managers. • Employ cutting edge technology and best practices to build a single, paperless DoD personal property program that integrates and automates all processes that support our families’ moves worldwide.

  22. Interim Customer Satisfaction Survey (ICSS) Surveys can be completed in three ways: Customer proactively completes the survey on-line.Customers will be counseled at origin on the importance of completing a customer survey for each shipment moved.  All customers will be counseled on various locations where computers can be used to complete the web-survey in the event they do not have ready access to a computer (such as base library, local PPPO/PPSO, cell phone with web-access, etc.)  Customers will be provided the customer survey website, and asked to complete a survey for each shipment within 7 calendar days of delivery to residence.  Customers will be provided secure access via email to complete a survey on each shipment delivered. If TOPS does not have a valid email address, the customer will not receive this secure access on-line. Once the shipment is flagged as delivered, survey notification will be sent to the customer, including a encrypted link to the survey. Customer responds to email reminders with link to surveys.Any customer that has a shipment flagged as “delivered” that does not have a survey completed within 7 calendar days, will be emailed a reminder.  It will use the email addresses obtained during counseling at origin from TOPS, or the most recent email address provided by the customer (i.e., while in transit or at destination) if entered into TOPS at origin or destination. Additional email reminders will be sent on the 14th and 21st calendar day after shipment delivery if the customer has not completed the web survey.  Telephone surveys.A third party will conduct telephonic surveys when a statistically valid sample has not been achieved via the web or by email reminder.  Every TSP that does not have a valid sample of surveys in any shipment category 30 days prior to the end of any performance period; will generate a list of customers for the 3rd party to contact that have not completed a survey on their delivered shipment for those applicable TSPs.  The list will include customers that do not have an email account listed, and customers that have not responded via the web or email reminder.  The list will also indicate the customers that have been emailed a request to complete the web survey, but have not done so.  The 3rd party will attempt to contact each of these customers and complete the surveys on the web by asking the questions and entering the customers’ responses.

  23. CSS REPORT/STATS Red indicates poor or unsatisfactory data (between 0-69.99% Blue indicates Satisfactory data (between 70-89.99%) Black indicates good or excellent data

  24. Smart Web Move (SWM)… • Use of Web-Enabled Computer for Convenient Access • Eliminates the Need for Member to Spend Excessive Time in a Transportation Office Setting Up the Move with a Counselor • Generally takes the Member Less Than One Hour • Current functionality will be added to DPS for 1 Aug 05 • Currently, due to Limited Functionality, Army Guidance will Restrict Use for Separatees, Retirees and Close Proximity Moves.
