Bridge Electric recognizes that customer service is part of a complex plan to deliver a properly completed product "on time". It is our mission to be the leading trade on all projects. We are known for driving the time schedule and not causing delays. Our goal "on time every time" means we intend to arrive and complete our work within the times agreed to with the customer - every time!
This goal is difficult, and Bridge Electric commits extraordinary efforts to it. Every employee is aware of the importance of this mission. They are trained to plan and co-ordinate their work and have the authority to take whatever action necessary to deliver "on time".
| What's Important |
Timely completion of the installation is our customer's primary
concern. Our exceptional efforts to deliver 'on time, every
time' have built a reputation of trust and high expectation
among regular customers and potential customers. This reputation
is precious. It differentiates Bridge Electric from our competition
and brings us larger and more challenging projects.
However, our commitment to our customers does not require
Bridge Electric to submit to unreasonable scheduling demands
caused by customer delays. We expend considerable effort and
money to maintain our 'on time, every time' reputation. But
we expect our customers to hold up their end.

|
| Our Commitment |
The agreement with the customer lies at the heart of our
on-time completion commitment. The words "agreement with the
customer" are key. Once that agreement has been negotiated,
we go to great lengths to ensure that we uphold our end.
As we undertake the installation, the agreement with the
customer evolves and becomes more specific. Modifications
derive from intense co-ordination between the Bridge Electric
project manager and his counterpart with the customer. These
joint decisions form the "ongoing working agreement".

| Customer Delays |
When a customer does not have an area ready as promised,
Bridge Electric avoids blame. Fault finding diminishes morale
and hinders co-operation. Even if the customer fails to uphold
his end, we will still try to complete on the agreed time
if at all possible. However, at that point we are going "above
and beyond" our commitment. Bridge is known for trying to
go above and beyond when possible. This is the foundation
of our reputation and gains us repeat business.
If due to a customer delay we cannot complete as previously
agreed, we renegotiate the best possible revised timetable
with our customer and modify the ongoing working agreement
accordingly.

| Our Process |
Before and during each installation, the Bridge Electric
team:
- Analyzes the schedule sequence
- Determines lead time requirements
- Plans tools and materials procurement
- Plans manpower scheduling
During installation, if a situation threatens timely completion,
our team:
- Informs our customer promptly
- Re-organizes our resources
- Mobilizes our forces
- Works with the customer to modify the agreement
|

|
| Communication |
Discussions with the customer are limited to the
Bridge Electric project manager and project foreman, and the
customer's senior representative on the job site. In directing
the installation the primary concern of the Bridge Electric
project manager and the Bridge Electric foreman is working in
agreement with the customer. Bridge Electric keeps all personnel
affected informed about progress and changes. |
