conclusion
Quality should be there in everything we do and that is place where ‘DAIRY CREAM’ lacked it.
Quality is decided by the customers and not by the employer or employees.
There is an awesome quote “if we take care of the customers they in turn take care of our business”.
Quality should be the ultimate aim for every company to retain the customers which is obtained only through perfection and nothing else.
Thank you
