To establish a basis for projecting and meeting future customer needs, PECO reviewed the trends in the field work performed by its customer service department during the 1970s and the demographic and social changes related to these trends. More women working, for example, caused more can't get in service calls on randomly dispatched, nonappointment work. Other affected areas involve billing and appliance servicing. Special staffing methods - selected overtime, innovative shift designs, and renegotiated contracts, for instance - could help satisfy customer needs more promptly.
