FELEC after-sales service
programs cover various levels of the service
process chain. These programs are offered to our
OEM customers, as well as to outside customers
wishing FELEC to support non-FELEC produced
products. FELEC's flexibility and experience
allows us to either fit into our customers'
existing service process chain to provide
support where needed or take control and manage
various layers of the chain.
For OEM customers, we work closely
with customer's product development teams to
understand and suggest a future service repair
program. The overall goal is to create the
strongest service program possible which can be
supported adequately at product launch time,
during product warranty periods and even beyond
warranty periods. For non-OEM customers, FELEC
can diagnose and repair faulty products that it
did not originally produce, providing needed
emergency support or standard long-term service
planning and coverage.
Programs are customized
to fit specific products and markets. FELEC's
programs include full repair capability, reverse
logistics, warehouse management, documentation
support, training materials, and EDI linkage
with comprehensive IT solutions. Program
business model coverage includes FRU and CRU
services, hub management and depot repair
services.FELEC's engineering teams also
manage the special requests, such as specific
testing and repair processes, identified by
customers as necessary to meet their changing
requirements. |

support |
Top-level objectives for customer
support include improving product service repair
turnaround times, maintaining short- to
long-term spare parts planning systems, and
creating efficient and easily managed
information databases at all levels of the
service chain. Technology, experience and a
practical approach are used to meet these
objectives. Customers benefit by lowering their
overall involvement, and thus cost, in the
service cycle of activities.
FELEC meets service objectives
with integrated IT systems created to support
personnel worldwide, as well as other FELEC
departments involved at various stages of the
service supply chain. Extensive information
databases are linked to all RMA service centers,
RTV operations, warehouses, and repair centers,
as well as all related logistics teams. Repair
orders, current repair status, end-user
information, and testing results are parts of
the integrated and comprehensive repair control
flow available for daily review or periodic
summary analysis.
Customers have access to FELEC's service IT systems through customized
service support web pages. Meanwhile, FELEC's
service teams can provide the necessary EDI
links to customers' call centers, as well as
their existing ASPs, in order to exchange the
daily data necessary for prompt, efficient and
cost effective repair operations. Transparent,
detailed information is tailored to fit into the
service management processes of all of the
repair related parties at all levels. This not
only allows our customers to audit the
performance of FELEC and local ASPs, but also
provides the necessary data for customers to
fine-tune their own service-related
operations. |
