The objective of this study is to determine the path for reduction of customer’s complaints with respect to ductile iron pipes.

The results were analyzed with the scatter plots of different models (linear, logarithmic and moving average) plotted for different manufacturing processes with number of complaints as the response variable and the year of complaint as the predictor variable. Moreover, determinants were identified for assessment of causes of complaints on ductile iron pipes.
Factor analyses was used to identify variables for reduction of customer complaints that were related to find out the significant variables that were most important in reduction of customer complaints.
