LAST UPDATED: 29 JUNE 2010
WHAT IS CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT SERVICES?

CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT SERVICES (CMS)  --  CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT SERVICES IS A PROCESS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE 502d MISSION SUPPORT GROUP COMMANDER WITH INTEGRATED FEEDBACK FROM AN INDIVIDUAL, CONSTITUENT, AND MISSION COMMANDER PERSPECTIVE.  THIS PROCESS IS USED TO IMPROVE THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO SOLDIERS, RETIREES, VETERANS, FAMILY MEMBERS, AND CIVILIANS THAT LIVE, WORK AND TRAIN ON THE INSTALLATION.

CMS UTILIZES A THREE-TIERED FEEDBACK SYSTEM ESTABLISHED TO DETERMINE THE SATISFACTION OF THOSE WHO WORK, PLAY, AND LIVE ON THE INSTALLATION. THE INPUT MECHANISMS FOR FEEDBACK COME FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES SUCH AS ONLINE SUBMISSIONS OF COMMENTS, ANNUAL LEADERSHIP AND CONSTITUENT ASSESSMENTS, AND COMMUNITY FORUMS. THIS PROGRAM IMPLEMENTS A MEANS FOR FEEDBACK THAT INCLUDES EVERY CATEGORY OF CUSTOMER ON THE INSTALLATION. THE ANALYSIS OF THIS FEEDBACK ENABLES THE GARRISON TO FOCUS ON SPECIFIC CORRECTIVE ACTION THAT MAY INCLUDE IMPROVED CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAININGS, LEAN SIX SIGMA INITIATIVES, OR REDISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCING. AT THE IMCOM LEVEL, THE SYSTEM PROVIDES AN ARMY WIDE MEASURE OF ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE.

THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME IS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, READINESS, RECRUITING, RETENTION AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE.
