Logistics service is one of the most frequently addressed competitive edges exercised by container terminals that face fierce competition. Many of researches have tried to assess the logistics service quality and attempted to propose the strategic ways to manage it. However, it has been known that quality is a multi-dimensional construct and not all quality attributes are viewed as equally important to customers. Each quality attribute has different implications for customer satisfaction. Timko (1993) has developed customer satisfaction (CS) coefficient based on Kano model. The CS coefficient is indicative of how strongly a service quality may influence customer satisfaction. This study attempted to identify the satisfying/dissatisfying quality factors using Kano model and CS coefficient. In so doing, several satisfying and dissatisfying quality attributes in logistics service quality were identified.

This study singled out 30 smart car features and surveyed 250 respondents. Assuming that the relationship between fulfillment of a feature or a customer need and the satisfaction with that feature is not necessarily linear, this study was conducted using Kano's method. Two devices, Timko Deviation(TD) and Kano Distribution Index(KDI), were devised to help evaluate resulting Kano table quantitatively. Previous research based on Kano's original framework showed the limit to the analysis of new or unfamiliar features: more than 85% of the features surveyed turned out to be either Attractive or Indifferent attributes. This study attempted a new empirical approach by applying customer experiences, price conditions, and customer self-stated importance. The results showed that customer experience of the surveyed features affected the overall satisfaction level, signifying that Kano's method should be conducted with care when analyzing emerging technologies such as smart cars. It is expected that this study would be utilized for better understanding of the perception and trends of customers regarding new technologies. This study also suggests a new approach to the analysis of customer requirements by providing price conditions.

Kano model distinguishes three types of customer requirements, namely, one-dimensional quality, must-be quality, and attractive quality. There are a few methods for classifying a given customer requirement into one of the Kano's quality elements. However, the existing methods have a common limitation in that they are based on Kano evaluation table. Kano evaluation table is not always effective for the classification task, and suffers from a significant information loss. This paper proposes an alternative to Kano's evaluation table and a new classification scheme based on fuzzy set concept. The proposed method is illustrated using a case study on the ADSL service.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze why surveys of a single set of customer requirement result in different Kano analyses depending on the survey questionnaire designs. Methods: This study singled out 14 common features from four different questionnaires of two studies of Smart Car features and analyzed them using the Kano model. Several methods and devices were used: Group Comparison and Timko Index were applied; Kano Distribution Index, Timko Dispersion and Kano Conformity were newly introduced for the quantitative analysis; Correlations between Timko indices from different Kano questionnaires were conducted; Heuristic Splitting technic for reinforcing attribute categorization is introduced. Results: Correlation Coefficient proved strong positive relations among the three questionnaires, whose agreement degree of the resulting Kano attributes showed less than 10% when Indifferent was ignored. Heuristic Splitting on Timko charts enhanced the degree of the resulting Kano attributes up to 80%. Conclusion: Among the questionnaires the representation of customer requirements tends to move by parallel shifts on the Timko chart maintaining their relative locations. Heuristic Splitting suggests a rational solution to the interpretation of those inexplicable attribute categories resulting from traditional Kano methods.

This paper reports a comparative review of the service quality attributes of Electronic Customs Clearance (UNI-PASS) by applying the Kano model, Timko's BW coefficients, and IGA model, as reported by Tontini et al. in terms of a service quality evaluation of electronic customs clearance as the comprehensive national customs administration information system. In addition, this study examined which quality attributes should be focused on to improve the service quality and enhance customer satisfaction using the electronic customs clearance service. The Kano, Timko, and IGA models were classified into the four common quality attributes: attractive quality, one-dimensional quality, must-be quality, and indifferent quality. Because the integrated approach was used, one-dimensional quality was included in the area for critical improvement, while the must-be quality was included in the area for intensive maintenance. In addition, the indifferent quality was included in the area of carefree, while the attractive quality was included in the area of competitive advantage.

스타트업 제품 모델링에 있어 기존 제품에 대한 분석은 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 그리고 이러한 분석은 다양한 방식과 프로그램 들을 통해 측정이 가능하다. 하지만, 다수의 스타트업들은 이러한 프로그램 운영이나 통계적 산출을 할 수 있는 인력 공급이 원활하지 않아 실제 사용에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 특별히 뛰어난 수리적 지식이 없더라도 중, 소 스타트업의 입장에서 직원 누구나 활용 가능한 제품 분석 방법에 대해 찾게 되었으며 그 결과 Kano 모형이 가장 적합할 것이라는 예측을 하였다. Kano 모형을 적용할 제품군으로는 많은 소비자가 존재하지만 시장이 크지 않아 진출 기회가 열려있는 스마트워치를 대상으로 하였다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 많은 회사에서 활용하고 있는 기본 오피스 프로그램인 EXCEL만을 활용해 제품의 Kano 모델 측정을 진행하였으며 그 결과 매력적요소 4가지(배터리 유효기간, 워치페이스의 종류와 수, 외형의 손상방지, 브랜드이미지), 일원적요소 13가지(단말기의 무게, 단말기의 외형, 구매가격, 오류발생, 스마트페이 기능, A/S용이성, 사용 가능한 앱의 수, 충전의 용이성, 방수 등 부가기능, 단말기 색상의 다양성, 헬스케어, 통화기능, 알림기능), 당연적요소 1가지(자사 기기와의 연동), 무관심요소 2가지(워치밴드의 디자인, 타사 기기와의 연동) 항목들을 측정하는 것이 가능하였으며 향후 본 Kano 모델을 활용하거나 해석함에 있어 최종학력, 전공, 연령 등이 어떠한 영향을 미치며 모델 사용에 필요한 최소 지식 수준에 따른 추가적인 연구를 진행할 것이다.

In this study, service quality attributes of uTradeHub were classified based on the Kano model, and quality attributes that should be managed in priority to improve the service quality of uTradeHub were investigated using Timko's customer satisfaction coefficient(CSC) and average satisfaction coefficient(ASC). The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, as a result of classifying service quality attributes based on Kano model, 12 one dimensional qualities, 5 must-be qualities, 2 indifferent qualities were deducted, and many quality attributes of uTradeHub service were confirmed to be one dimensional quality to which is needed to be paid attention and paid more detailed attention to enhance service quality. Second, in the analysis result using Timko's customer satisfaction coefficient, "post processing for problems and complaints", "cost reduction", "efficiency of business processing" were ranked in the top of satisfaction coefficient, and they found to be quality attributes that customer satisfaction increases when service quality was satisfied. While, "post processing for problems and complaints", "interaction", "ability to respond promptly when problems occur" were ranked in the top of unsatisfaction coefficient, and they were analysed to be quality attributes that customer complaints increase when service quality was unsatisfied. Third, in the result of analyzing the quality attributes that should be managed in priority to improve the service quality of uTradeHub based on the average satisfaction coefficient(ASC), "post processing for problems and complaints", "cost reduction", "useful information" were ranked in the top 3, and they were classified as quality attributes that the satisfaction level increases more when they are improved than now, but the satisfaction level decreases when they are worsen.

Many Korean traditional music such as Jongmyo Jeryeak and Pansori are listed as UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage and are recognized for their value. However, compared to other genres, Korean traditional music shows various problems such as low proportion of paying audiences and bias of audience age. Previous studies in the performing arts point out that in order to solve these problems, it is necessary to analyze consumers. Existing previous studies on the Korean traditional music performance remained mainly to grasp the influence of performance quality of service on viewing satisfaction at the one-dimensional level. However, in order to meet consumer expectations, not only the satisfaction factor but also the reasons why performing art consumers do not consume performances. In addition, it is important to identify the factors that can cause service failure before the performance, to prepare countermeasures and to manage them continuously. In this study, the Kano-Timko model was used to classify the quality factors of Korean traditional music performances, and to identify the priority points of service failures of Korean traditional music performances through the potential customer satisfaction index. Through the results of this study, Korean traditional performing organizations and organizations will be able to prepare proactive countermeasures for service failures occurring in Korean traditional music performances and establish effective operational strategies to derive customer satisfaction. In addition, it is important to apply the concept of service failure in order to classify the performance quality of service that was identified only in a one-dimensional manner based on Kano model.
