NMMA Recognizes Outstanding Customer Satisfaction at IBEX...Boat, engine manufacturer CSI award recipients honored during Industry Breakfast

MIAMI, October 12, 2007 - - Sixty-four boat and engine manufacturers were recognized at the 2007 International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) in Miami Beach Friday morning for excellence in customer satisfaction by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), as part of the association’s Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) program. This recognition honors recipients that were announced in July.

“We’re acknowledging CSI award recipients at IBEX to further communicate how important it is to meet customer needs if we’re going to grow recreational boating,” says NMMA president Thom Dammrich. “The CSI award recipients represent some of the ‘best of the best’ our industry has to offer.”

The Marine Industry CSI Awards program honors participating companies actively measuring customer satisfaction to pursue continuous improvement. Award recipients achieved and maintained an independently-measured standard of excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction over the past year, based on information provided by consumers purchasing a new boat or engine during the period between April 2006 and March 2007. Participating manufacturers must survey all new boat buyers during this period.

The following companies were honored this past year for their efforts to improve customer satisfaction levels in the recreational boating industry:

NMMA launched its CSI program in 2001 to provide boat and engine manufacturers with an independently-measured, cost-effective tool to help improve customer satisfaction in the boating industry. Since the program’s inception, more than 450,000 surveys have been sent out to new boat and engine customers, allowing participating manufacturer companies to monitor customer satisfaction on an ongoing basis, and to benchmark themselves against the industry and their competitors. The program currently has 110 boat and engine brands participating.

The Marine Industry CSI program meets the 2007 model year CSI requirements of the NMMA Boat/Yacht Certification program. For manufacturers that are full participants in the Marine Industry CSI process, the included reporting also fills the dealer level CSI requirements of the Marine Industry Dealership Certification program.
