• Water Supply Resources Provision Project Apart from water quality and appropriate water pressure, another important thing to serve the customer satisfaction is to provide water supply resources to serve the need of the customers. Due to the water shortage in 2005, the government assigned the Company and related organizations to jointly provide short-term, middle-term, and long-term solution to the problem to maintain sufficient water in the long run. As a result of efficient cooperation of related organizations, the crisis in 2005 was overcome and the confidence was quickly regained.

This can classify customer expectations and business processes into 4 different groups as follows below. 1. Industrial Estate Customers which demand the raw water and deliver raw water to internal customer. This customer is mainly focused on stability of supply in term of quantity and pressure. The demand of water is relative high and continuous such as Maptaphut Industrial Estate, Eastern Industrial Estate, Asia Industrial Estate, RIL Industrial Estate 1996.

2. Industrial Estate Customers which demand the raw water and deliver water supply to internal customer. This customer is focused on quantity including the standard quality of raw water in order to produce water supply such as Provincial Waterworks Authority, Laem Chabang Industrial Estate, Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate, Sahapatpiboon Industrial Park and etc. 3.

The SLA information is surveyed the customers’ expectation, the quantity of raw water, water pressure and quality of raw water and will be combined with the pumping water system (SCADA) which improves the controlling of pumping water and monitoring the status of available water for each customer type with precision and responding to changes in the quality of service (Feedback Control) including the status of pumping water resulted into the dissatisfaction because we do not meet the customers’ expectation. If there is the change in basis of services from SLA, the company will notify the users in advance in order to prepare next system. • CSI (Customer Services Improvement) CSI (Customer Services Improvement) is the process of building trust and satisfaction in using our raw water service and promotes the vision “To be a leader in valued water management for sustainable growth of economy and social under the concept of Water Solution for All”. In order to achieve the objective, there is a process namely Customer Service Improvement Quality Cycle. According to the Model, it consists of a process with sequential steps. Start by listening to the problems of customers, such as Voice of Customers, which has a customer satisfaction survey, two times a year. Next is the Customer Need process that is a collection of customers’ problems to improve and develop water pumping system. The main problem is contaminated water, pressure dropping and the quantity shortage therefore the solution is to stable pumping system in order to keep the water distribution constantly, the readiness of equipment and productivity results from water system consists of quality of raw water, quality of information in terns of validity, consistency and fast as well as the controlling and monitoring on the changing in quality of water including service provided. This service consists of fast in problem solving, monitor customer’s station and calibration service which consists of information service such as water quality, water situation and water quantity. After that we prepare a report and analyze pumping water system and improve process as follows; 1. Sequencing the priorities of the machinery and equipment such as A B and C which is the definition

of pumping equipment at low, medium and high priority, 2. Important of communication system and calibration, 3. Important of machinery, and 4. Customer service. Next step is Target which consists of using Zero Breakdown. There is a non-stop water distribution in main line unless there is the repair or maintenance of max. 8 hours at a time which the level-A machine has no breakdown, SCADA equipment is ready to use 90 percent, main water meters can defect not over than 24 hour per user including Effective Quality Control. And the last step is “Plan” that means plan for manage and service to determine the direction, responsibility in order to achieve the objective of each year plan. ก�ำหนดระดับความส�ำคัญเครื่องจักร์อุปกรณ์ในโครงข่ายท่อส่งน�้ำ สถานี
