DSI quality issues & recommendations
In this explain. First of all, focus on the quality issues of DSI and present them
as facts. Quality issues at DSI include shoe inability to attract customers, shoe
brittleness, lack of diversity in footwear, lack of cost-effectiveness, lack of uniformity in
all showrooms, inadequate customer service, DSI bags, There are issues such as the
quality of the ingredients used for the bottles being substandard. These include the
inability to switch back and the lack of attractive showrooms. DSI does not have a
working environment for customers to wear comfortable shoes and to inspect shoes.
Another problem we see is that customers are not able to pick and choose the products
they want. This shows the quality problems of DSI.
Here are some suggestions on how to look or get an appointment for antique items in
DSI. Focusing on the diversified footwear market by their manufacturer in comparison
to other footwear manufacturers. Also, to ensure that all showrooms in the country
maintain co-production. Also maintain the packaging of the product in the showroom, in
front of the showroom, inside the showroom and other facilities available there to attract
customers. Innovative products should be considered in comparison with other
manufacturing companies. The raw material used by the DSI must be modified and the
production process modified to fit in a higher quality rubber. Online purchases need to be
enhanced for easier purchases within DSI. DSI tires should focus on tire manufacturing
in a way that builds trust among consumers. It should also allow the company to
advertise in the market in a way that preserves the quality of the existing products.
Finally, DSI can provide solutions to quality problems in this way.
