You, as CAR XX audit team leader, are interviewing the ABC Quality Manager (QM) at their central office.

You: “How do you measure customer satisfaction?”

QM: “When we give the keys back to the owners, we always ask them two questions about their needs and expectations, and once per month, we discuss a summary of the answers to those questions and the complaints we receive in a box located in the waiting room.”

You: “Did you take any action based on these responses?”

QM: “We installed cameras to monitor the process and a coffee machine in the waiting room. These actions reduced the complaints by 90%.”

Clause 9.1.2 Customer Satisfaction

Clause 10.3 Continual Improvement

Monitors the effectiveness of those actions.

Therefore, the three correct statements are:
