3D PLUS Strategy to Achieve Customer Satisfaction

Since the creation in 1995, 3D PLUS has prided itself on providing outstanding service to its customers. All teams in direct connections with customers have always been listening customers and supporting them from the design to the aftermarket sales.
3D PLUS is worldwide recognized for its outstanding customer service and has historically been many times congratulated from its major customers, through customer survey or meetings, for its excellence in customer support.

Returned Material Acceptance (RMA)

3D PLUS strives to supply defect-free products with the highest levels of quality and reliability. Should a product not operate according to the customer expectations in their systems, investigation and analysis is handled by our Failure Analysis and Returned Material Acceptance (RMA) system. 3D PLUS field sales and applications groups work closely with the customer to determine the root cause of failures. However, if further analysis is required, the 3D PLUS Quality group procedure should be used and the suspect parts to be analyzed are returned to 3D PLUS factory.

We ask our customers to provide detailed information on any product returned for analysis in order to ease the fastest response and closure.

3D PLUS places top priority on providing quick containment and quick initial feedback (24hours) to our customers.

A specific process to return materials already delivered to customers is in place at 3D PLUS.
Return Material Acceptance can be authorized in different cases:

  • Need options to finish products like tinning, varnish, …
  • Need 3D PLUS support for ongoing customer activities,
  • Need 3D PLUS investigate conformity of products (Failure analysis).

Depending the case, 3D PLUS will issue a RMA, to authorized customer return to 3D PLUS and ensure good traceability of customer product property. For some countries with the military grade -55°C or +125°C products will have to go through customs with a specific procedure. In this case directions will be transmitted by 3D PLUS to customer prior return.

Failure Analysis Process

When customer ship us back products with authorized RMA for Failure analysis purpose, 3D PLUS will open a Non-Conformance Report with a chronologic number.
3D PLUS will conduct the necessary actions to complete properly the failure analysis with the 8D problem solving methodology, and issue a failure analysis report with a statement of either customer responsibility or 3D PLUS responsibility.
3D PLUS will ask customer agreement prior any destructive analysis activity.
In all cases 3D PLUS responsibility will conduct to internal corrective actions to eradicate the concern.
In some cases, 3D PLUS may alert other customers about the concern.

Survey

3D PLUS has complemented the results obtained via scorecards with 1 annual customer satisfaction survey process with our Sales Representatives during our yearly Sales Meeting.
3D PLUS is going to conduct same type of survey with direct customer contact from its web site.
