Introduction

Generally Research refers to a search for knowledge. Research can be art or

scientific investigation. In short, the search for knowledge through objective and systematic

method of finding solution to a problem is research.

Research refers to the systematic method consisting of enunciating the

problem Collecting the facts or data, Analysing the facts and reaching certain conclusions

either in the form of solution towards the concerned problem or in certain generalisations for

some theoretical formulation.

Research Problem

A researcher must find the problem and formulate it so that it becomes

susceptible to research. Like a Falcon pumps, a researcher must Examine all the symptoms

concerning a problem before he can diagnose correctly.

A research problem, in general, refers to some difficulty which a researcher

experiences in the context of either a theoretical or practical situation and wants to obtain a

solution for the same.

Thus, a research problem is one which requires a researcher to find out the

best solution for the given problem. My research statement is to make study on product

quality and services.

Research on Product, Quality and Services

Relevance of the study

The subject of my study is useful because the subject is based on the quality of

the product; it is beneficial to both the customer and the company. Good Quality of the

product will satisfy the customer this will benefit the customer by increasing the loyalty of

customer and number of customers and sales. Product satisfaction is depends on quality and

services as like product quality support customer services.

Literature Review

A.Parasuraman, Valarie A. Zeithaml and Leonard L. Berry

The attainment of quality in products and services has become a pivotal concern

of the 1980s. While quality in tangible goods has been described and measured by marketers,

quality in services is largely undefined and unresearched. The authors attempt to rectify this

situation by reporting the insights obtained in an extensive exploratory investigation of quality in

four service businesses and by developing a model of service quality. Propositions and

recommendations to stimulate future research about service quality are offered.

Akshay R Rao and Kent B. Monroe

The authors integrate previous research that has investigated experimentally

the influence of price, brand name, and/or store name on buyers' evaluations of product

quality. The meta-analysis suggests that, for consumer products, the relationships between

price and perceived quality and between brand name and perceived quality are positive and

statistically significant. However, the positive effect of store name on perceived quality is

small and not statistically significant. Further, the type of experimental design and the

strength of the price manipulation are shown to significantly influence the observed effect of

price on perceived quality.

Richard W. Olshavsky and John A Miller

This study experimentally investigated the effects on product ratings of both

overstatement and understatement of product quality. Results support common marketing

practice in that overstatement resulted in more favourable ratings and understatement resulted

in less favourable ratings.

Finding

Submersible pump set mainly define problems comes in motor and pump.

Those problem solutions can be possible and reparable.

Generally motor problems include wiring, thrust bearing, busting, armature

fault, stamping problem etc.

And Pumps problem include shafting, Mattel, bush, bolt problem etc.

Other problem also comes as like Water problem, voltage problem and

technical problem.

During the research I have found the major problem of Thrust bearing

problem in Submersible pump. This Problem is nature replaceable. Thrust bearing is set in

the ending of submersible pump. It is damaged in generally two to three year.

Quality has become major factor in a customer’s choice of product quality and

services. Pump also high qualified product of falcon Pumps Company.

Services provided by separate department and its name are Raj services

station of falcon pumps company. After Selling of Pump with Company give 1 year

warrantee. And Customer requirement is increasing more timing of warrantee period.

FUTURE SCOPE OF FURTHER RESEARCH

Future research if considered one of product quality and services it can be

� Increasing product quality,

� Product variety,

� Sales volume,

� Reduced prices,

� 100% inspection after

� Sales services,

� Visit of the technician to the customer.

Suggestion

As par Analysis of the questionnaire filled by the customer, I suggested to

improvement of thrust bearing problem in submersible pump and also incremental of service

period. Many customers facing price problem. Price of Falcon pump is relatively higher

comparing the others. So company must be think about reducing price.

Falcon Pumps is qualitative products with high performance, durability, and

aesthetics of pumps also very good. They have given good services within the period of

warrantee time.

And also maintained pumps quality.

There is no any latest inventory control system so, sometimes because of wrong

estimation it has much or less stock than requirement.
