CHAPTER -1
1.1 INTRODUCTION ABOUT INTERNSHIP
Customer satisfaction is a highly personal assessment that is greatly influenced by individual
expectation. To be successful, organizations must look into the needs and wants of their customers.
Customer satisfaction is the state of mind that customers have about a company when their expectations
have been met or exceeded over the lifetime of the product or service. It is a measure of how products and
service supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. The main aim of this project is to
identify the level of satisfaction of customers towards Aircrafts and spares parts of HAL.
Satisfaction is a person’s feelings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a products
perceived performance in relation to customer expectations. Whether the buyer is satisfied after purchase
depends on the offers performance in relation to the buyer’s expectations. If performance matches the
expectations, of customer is satisfied.
According to Posselt and Eitan, improved customer satisfaction will lead to improved customer
loyalty, which will eventually improve profit. In order to satisfy our customers we have to focus on effective
customer services to meet their needs.
A number of methods exist to measure customer satisfaction. Periodic surveys can track customer’s
satisfaction directly Respondents can also be asked additional questions to measure repurchase intention and
the likelihood or willingness to recommend the company and brand to others. Companies that do achieve
high customer satisfaction rating make sure their target market knows it.
Customer satisfaction, a business terms is a measure of how products and services supplied by a
company meet or surpass customer expectation. It is seen as a key performance indicator with in business
and part of better service performances.

1.7 LITERATURE REVIEW
Customer satisfaction
Customer satisfaction, market share and success Does higher customer satisfaction lead to better
economic returns general taking of this relations is clear in the growing accepted creative writing on quality
and the customer satisfaction, the rising number of consulting and marketing research firms that promise to
improve a clients ability to make more profit by increasing the customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction
to be primary objective of the organization for success and growth. (eugene. w. anderson, july 1994)
Marketing Journals
We provide a mathematical framework for assessing the value of customer satisfaction. The enables
managers to determine which customer satisfaction elements have the greatest impact, and how much money
should be spent to improve particular customer satisfaction. This makes it possible to hold customer
satisfaction programs responsible, in the way that other business programs are held responsible, by forcing
them to display their benefits with respect to bottom line profitability. We use an individual level model of
reliability and maintenance, and then build up to market share by aggregation. We show the application of
our approach in a pilot study of a trade market. (Rust, 1993)
The economy is changing the central feature of the old company was the mass production and expenditure of
the goods. The modern economies is based on the production and use of more and more differentiated goods
and services., but also that they provably tell us less than they use. (claes. foenell. michel d johnson, october
1996)
Psychology and marketing
. Customer satisfaction with a company's products or services is often seen as the key to a company's success
and long-term competitiveness. In the background of association promotion, customer satisfaction is often
view as a central determinant of customer maintenance. However, the few experimental investigation in this
area indicates that a direct association between these construct is weak or even imaginary.
The overall idea of this article is to develop a theoretical basis for investigating the customer maintenance
development, with the use of the concepts of customer satisfaction and relationship quality. The article
involves a significant examination of the satisfaction–maintenance relationship, and the development of a
more full view of the customer's quality perception (anderson, december 1997)

despite all possible efforts to make this analysis comprehensive, scientific and accurate. Thus there is bound
to be some limitation.
Due to the time constraint has been conducted.
Sampling size is limited, only 50 respondents.
Lot of restriction in the study area.

2.7 LIGHT COMBAT AIRCRAFT (LCA)
The HAL Tejas (“Radiant”) is a light weight multirole jet fighter developed by India. It is a
tailless, compound delta wing design powered by a single engine. It came from the Light Combat Aircraft
(LCA) programme, which was begun in the 1980s to replace India’s aging MiG-21fighters. Later the LCA
was officially named “Teajs” by then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
The Tejas has the delta wing configuration, with no tailplanes, features a single vertical fin. It integrated
technologies such as relaxed static stability, fly-by-wire flight control system, advanced digital cockpit,
multi-mode radar, integrated digital avionics system, advanced composite material structures and a flat rated
engine.
The LCA programme was launched in 1983 for two primary purposes. The principal and most obvious
goal was the development of a replacement aircraft for India’s ageing MiG-21 fighters. The MiG-21 has
been the ministry of Indian Air Force since the 1970s. The “Long Team Re-Equipment Plan 1981” noted
that the MiG-21s would be approaching the end of their service lives by the mid-1990s, and that by 1995 the
IAF would lack 40% of the aircraft needed to fill its projected force structure requirements.
Project definition commenced in October 1987 and was completed in September 1988.Dassault Aviation
of France was hired as a consultant to review the PD and provide advice based on its extensive aviation
expertise.

Engine and Propulsion
Initially, it was decided to equip the prototype aircraft with the General Electric F404GT-F2J3
afterburning turbofan engine. Simultaneously, in 1986, a parallel programme to develop an indigenous
power plant was also launched. Led by the Gas Research Establishment, the GTRE-GTX-35VS, named
“Kaveri”, and was expected to replace the F404 on all production aircraft. However, progress in the Kaveri
development programme was slowed by technical difficulties. General Electric was awarded a US$ 105
million contract in 2004 for development engineering and production of 17-IN20 engines, delivery of which

2.11 COMPETITORS INFORMATION
The aerospace market is highly competitive with the state owned; HAL being the largest Indian
aircraft manufacture, competition is likely to intensify with greater private sector and foreign participation.
The government as to set its role in promoting the industry. The company does not have any competition in
domestic market for its aircraft because it requires huge sum of money and vast area of land for establishing
a company and it also involves huge risk which the private parties would not like to take and the engine
division manufactures aircraft purely for counties defence purpose. So its main customer is Indian air force.
The company is having few competitors of its export project like Boeing and Airbus doors from
countries like China and Pakistan.

CHAPTER-3
3.1 THEORTICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
About Customer satisfaction
Customer satisfaction occurs when the experience obtained from transaction match expectation. Customer
may forget experience that match expectation although, customers will generally notice and also remember
those experience that deviated from expectation.
In opposite situation i.e. state of satisfaction it may result into repurchase of product/service as case may be
One has to accept the fact that people i.e. employee in an organization play a crucial role in determining and
delivering of the level of service quality and ultimately consumers satisfaction. It has been observed that
even manufacturing organization have gradually realized the fact the along with tangible offering, intangible
customer services the only possible distinct way to create a point of differentiation and positioning in to the
competitors. It is needless to state companies need to manage customer contact effectively where the desired
outcome is a satisfied customer.
Customer’s satisfaction data customer data provides early warning sign of problems before they show up in
revenue and down in profit.
Customer Satisfaction
Customer satisfaction is the success, Getting your customer to tell you what good about your product and
services, and where you need improvement helps you to ensure that your business measure up to their
expectations. The attached file contains a customer satisfaction survey from designed to help gather. This
important information. It was designed to make it match your company activities.
It also includes suggestion for distributing the form. Ensuring that customer that will return the form, and
following up on comments.
3.2 Few principles of Steve smith:
The goal is to exceed customer expectation.
Customer satisfaction is necessary, but not sufficient how many times do.
All initiatives must be derived from defined problems. For instance.
Dissatisfied customer don’t buy. That’s an example of clear problem.
The plan must be clear and congruent.
The play must be resonating with the VP and at least a minority of managers who agree with
the objectives and initiatives.
Quality of company product and services.
Quality of the relationship between the co-agent the customer.
