Summary

Introduction

Modern business conditions are characterized by a fairly high level of competition. In this situation, low price (or slightly different from the prices of competing companies), high-quality products and services, a wide range of products, the continuous improvement of products (works, services) are not always the main factors of success in the market. To manage the logistics activities of industrial enterprises needed to measure the quality of logistics services For this purpose, defined (criteria) parameters of quality of service and management of these parameters is performed so that the discrepancy between the expected and actual levels of selected criteria (parameters) were minimal. For this there are different methods of assessment: questionnaires to customers and potential customers, expert opinions, statistical methods, etc. The following analysis of the literature showed that there are currently no methods of evaluating the level of customer service that fully meet the following requirements: consistency, completeness of information, the use of measurable indicators, a comprehensive system of indicators and criteria, reliability of results, ease of collecting baseline data, use of results, etc. Author's method of estimating the level of service is shown in order to improve the level of customer service evaluation developed
