What is Ritz-Carlton’s business strategy?
Review the case, Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company – The Quest for Service Excellence
After reviewing the case, prepare responses to the following questions:
- What is Ritz-Carlton’s business strategy, e.g., who are their primary customers
- Among consumers, what accounts for Ritz-Carlton’s reputation as a high-quality hotel? How is quality defined by customers?
- How is quality defined within Ritz-Carlton? Does the DQPR data in the ritz.xls spreadsheet indicate any significant quality problems?
- If you were to select a category of defect to address from the DQPR data, which category would you address first?
- For the defect category you selected, consider the process that generates the defects. Construct a p-chart to assess whether or not the process is in control. Identify the day(s) on which some assignable cause of added defects arose.
- Using the results of your analysis, as well as other relevant tools of quality and your common-sense knowledge of hotel operations, generate hypotheses about the possible root causes of the defect category that you selected.
