Today’s customers have become increasingly demanding. They not only desire for high quality products but they also expect high level of customer service quality. The relationship between perceived service quality and customer satisfaction has received considerable academic attention in the past years.

The RATER Model of service quality helps service companies to understand the perceived service quality from customers' perspectives. We will use a case study to demonstrate how the Model creates a roadmap for the overall service delivery processes and identifies the key elements to enhance service quality.
