BS EN 15140:2006EN 15140:2006 (E) 4 Introduction In accordance with
14、EN 13816, measurement of delivered service quality is part of the service quality loop,where the selection of quality criteria and appropriate measures may both reflect and determine targetedquality. Measurement is a valuable management and motivational tool provided it leads to improvementactions.T
15、he validity of the measurement is affected both by design and conduct. This document is intended to helpconstruct the measurement system and to help understand and reduce the causes of biasthat any system of measurement may introduce. BS EN 15140:2006EN 15140:2006 (E) 5 1 ScopeThis document provides
16、 basic requirements and recommendations for systems that measure delivered service quality of public passengertransport to be applied in the framework of EN 13816.The requirements and recommendations specified in this document apply both to third party measurementsand measurementsconductedbythe serv

21、ip between the defined terms 4 Requirements4.1 Requirements applying to all measurement systems 4.1.1Design of the measurement systemEach quality criterion to be measured shall refer to thelist of eight categoriesgiven in EN 13816. Thedesign of the measurement system shallbalance the customers viewp
22、oint and theuse of themeasurement as a management tool for reaching targeted quality (management viewpoint). Some qualitycriteria may need to be described more precisely in a grid that lists a number of items. In this case,the itemsin the grid and their weights shall be designed in accordance with t
23、he previous requirement. When it is not possibleto control/measure what customers perceive, evidence shall be giventhat, as faras the customer isconcerned, specifiedprocedures have beenfollowed. NOTE e.g.declaration bya driver that he made an announcement to the passengers in a sudden abnormal situa
24、tioncan qualify as evidence. For each measured quality criterion, there shall be a precise definition of what is “in conformity“/“not inconformity“. Thedelivered quality measured shall be recordedeither as “in conformity”, or“not in conformity”. As stated in EN13816:2002 subclause 4.2,the level of a
25、chievement shall be expressed, where appropriate,as a ratio of passengers affected. 4.1.2 Conduct of measurementThe measurement of theservicequality deliveredshall be done during operating hours.Updated measurement ofthe chosen quality criteria shall be consolidated and reported at least once a year
26、.BS EN 15140:2006EN 15140:2006 (E) 7 The organisational arrangements for measurementshall be documented andprovisionsshall be made for inspection and audit.Changes in the methods and reasons for the changesshall be documented. The data collection and data processing shall be transparent, traceablean
27、dverifiable.The item measured shall berecorded as first observed even if immediate corrective action takes place. 4.2 Specific requirements according to the type of measurement 4.2.1 General Measurements can be made by surveyors or by technical means. They can be continuous or by sample (see Table A
28、.1).4.2.2 SurveyorsThe profile, selection and training of the surveyors shall bespecified. Their briefing process and on-site management shall be spe cified.4.2.3 Technical measurements Data collected automatically shall be compared for consistency purposes, at least when the system of datacollectio
29、n is created or modified, withdata fromother sources of measurement relevant to the same qualitycriterion.4.2.4 Continuous measures It shall be verified thatthe measure takes place without interruptions that would affectthe reliability of the results. 4.2.5 Sampling measuresThe size, choice and freq
30、uency of the sampling shall consider statistical rules andshall be documented. It shall be verifiedthat the survey scheme is representative ofthe type of service in question. 5 Recommendations 5.1 Design of the measurement system When designinga measurement system, it is recommended to look at best
31、practices implemented incomparable situations. A measurement system, even simple, can be considered satisfactory if it leads on-field operations to maintainand to increase customersatisfaction.For benchmarking purposes, the similarities and differences between measurement systemsshould be takeninto
32、account. The selection of quality criteria to be measured should be made in accordance with results ofcustomersexpectations surveys.BS EN 15140:2006EN 15140:2006 (E) 8 The number of quality criteria to be measured should be big enough to cover the essential ones but limited bythe capacity to manage
33、them. During the initial application phase of this standard, it is recommended to startwith a fewquality criteria only. Once the measuring method has been mastered, the implementation of thestandard can beextended to otherquality criteria, thus uniformly increasing the measurement parametersforthe p
34、urposes of continuous improvement. When measuring quality, it is recommended to respectthe principles of statistical reliabilityso asto know if the results and their evolutionover time are significant or not.For some quality criteria, targeted quality may vary in different situations. In thiscase, i
35、t issuggested to define different measurement processes and indicators corresponding to these situations a nd to measureaccordingly.The measurement processesand the indicators can refer to any part of the service (e.g. route, route clusters, servicepoints) or be global on the n etwork.If a quality c
36、riterionis measured by using a grid, it is recommended to validatethe items and their relativeweight by means of anenquiry among the customers,and the number of items should be limited to the mostimportant items for the customers.The design of measurement processes depends on the means andequipment
37、used for themeasurements.The statement of service standard can be based on customer expectation and/or on the comparison betweensatisfactionsurveys and delivered quality of the existing service. It is recommended to use the ratio of customers as much as possible to express the results, thus allowing
38、 themanagement to givepriorities toits actions leadingto quality improvement.If the number ofcustomers is not measured, it is recommended to use a justified andappropriate estimation. When quality indicators are used in acontractual relationship between a transport authority and an operator,the meas
39、urement processes should be understood and agreed onby the contractual partners. The allocation of responsibility should be clearly defined in the contract. Causes considered as external couldbe excluded in the expressionof the contractual level of achievement. In the case of measurementsconducted b
40、y surveyors, it is recommended, at least from time to time,to takemeasurements in the presence of the contractual partners.It should be verifiedthat the evolutionof indicators matches customer satisfaction enquiry trends. 5.2 Conduct of measurement The methodology underlyingthe measurement system sh
41、ould be asstable as possible, so as to allow comparisons (for instance between different periods). When changing the methods ofmeasurement, theresultsshould bepredicted and evaluated.In the case of measurement conducted by surveyors, to help them measure as consistently as possible, it isrecommended
42、 to provide themwith guidelines giving examples, if necessary with pictures.It is recommended to audit the measurement system regularly and to audit the data collection and dataprocessing system at leastoncea year.A balance should be found between the precision required and the costs, since the meas
43、urements can beexpensive (forinstance,size of the samples ormeasurement of the number of passengers).Costs can be optimised byperforming several kinds of measurements at the same time (e.g. a surveyor canmeasureinformation and cleanliness at the same time).BS EN 15140:2006EN 15140:2006 (E) 9 Costs c
44、an be optimised by using the same measurements to meet several needs(e.g. for management purposes and reporting to authorities). It is recommended to use measurement as afirst step toinitiate immediate corrective action, especially if anunacceptable performance hasbeen detected. BS EN 15140:2006EN 1
