Voice of the Customer
Introduction
Voice of the Customer is an important component of user-centered design, which focuses on understanding and meeting user needs, rather than simply focusing on delivering products or services to market. Voice of the customer analysis is a term used in Six Sigma. The main idea is that listening to customers’ needs is critical in order to develop products/services that sell and satisfy customers.
Voice of the customer (commonly abbreviated to VoC) is a systematic collection of customer feedback for the purpose of satisfying customer needs and meeting their expectations.
Voice of the customer is a term used to describe the collective opinions of a company’s customers. It is used in order to evaluate the quality of a company’s products and services, determine its needs and expectations, and develop new strategies for improving one’s business.
The voice of the customer usually comes from an informal survey that employs various methods for eliciting feedback from consumers. This type of research can be conducted offline or online; however, it always involves asking questions about the experience someone had with your product or service.
The main idea is that listening to customers’ needs is critical in order to develop products/services that sell and satisfy the customers.
Listening to customers means understanding what they want, need and expect from your product or service. A good listener will ask questions about these issues, listen non-judgmentally and show empathy for the customer’s situation. He/she should also be able to explain why he/she makes decisions based on the customer’s needs (and not only his own).

Voice of the Customer analysis is a term used in Six Sigma. The Voice of the Customer (VoC) is an objective measure for gauging customer satisfaction as well as determining how satisfied customers are with your product or service. It helps you identify areas where you can make improvements by understanding how customers perceive your products and services.
Six Sigma is a quality management system that uses data-driven tools to improve processes, reduce defects and increase quality at every stage of production or service delivery. The goal of Six Sigma methodology is to eliminate defects completely through continuous improvement—not just reducing them temporarily until they return later on down the road!
Voice of the Customer is an important component of user-centered design, which focuses on understanding and meeting user needs, rather than simply focusing on delivering products or services to market.
User-centered design was first introduced by Ben Shneiderman in his book “Designing for Interaction”. User-centered design focuses on understanding what users need from a product before building it. It also involves listening carefully to users’ feedback about their experiences with your product so that you can learn from them as well as help shape future versions based on their input.

In addition to helping you develop products and services that sell and satisfy customers, VoC also plays an important role in Six Sigma projects because it helps you identify potential problems with your processes or products before they become major issues for your company.
