Customer Complaints Management (CCM). Each management system has been installed on the PDCA cycle, first requires a written policy. After planning, commitment contains openness, communication, privacy, authority and responsibilities.

Normally, complaints must be done within the company. Sometimes the customer closes the dialog and does not want to cooperate. Overseas customers can not communicate their complaints or they can not follow their complaints because they can have different language, unknown legal regulations, costs, absence of some associations that can provide solutions, time subjects.
