This book provides assistance for ensuring and increasing service quality.

Core parts of the book are procedures for measuring service quality, instruments for controlling quality and expectation management, the implementation of quality management based on ISO 9000 ff. standards as well as the EFQM model, and comprehensive quality controlling to ensure effectiveness and efficiency.
