Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the satisfaction level of customers using third party logistics (3PL) services in the Indian capital region and its surrounding areas. The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) model is used as a framework to identify the major drivers of satisfaction and areas requiring immediate attention for provision of better services. Design/methodology/approach Present study includes an exhaustive review of literature for the identification of enablers for this model. Through iterative and structured discussions, variables related to process, service information and user’s expectations are identified, which are subsequently grouped into four dimensions. A survey method is used to get the primary data for this research from 3PL service users’ organizations in the Delhi and adjoining capital region. ACSI is used to prioritize the most preferred driver of satisfaction. Findings Enablers related to process involving order processing, order picking, order fulfillment and final decision making stand out as the winners and also other critical areas have been identified. Practical implications There is a gap between the services obtained and services expected and information-related complications which lead to unsatisfied customers. The 3PL service providers need to focus on these areas for better business performance and healthy and long-lasting business relationships. Originality/value The paper is an attempt to implement a satisfaction model for the 3PL sector from user’s perspective.

Abstract Background and objective: Patient satisfaction and its relation with healthcare cost in Bangladesh remains unknown. The objective of the study was to perform a comparative analysis of satisfaction of patients in relation with healthcare cost in public and private healthcare settings in Bangladesh.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at two public and two private hospitals in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. A total of 1120 respondents were included by purposive sampling. Data collection was performed with a semi-structured questionnaire. The level of satisfaction was assessed by a 5-point Likert scale. Expenditure details during hospital stay were also recorded. Informed consent was obtained, and study procedures were conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki. SPSS 23 was used for statical test. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 50.10±21.13 (SD) years, with a male-female ratio of 1.14:1. The majority were from urban areas. The average health-care cost of patients in both the conservative and operative groups was statistically significantly higher in private hospitals than in public hospitals (p<0.001). The overall satisfaction level was higher among the patients who received care from private settings than the public (p<0.001). However, taking health care in private hospitals rather than public hospitals was independently associated with patient satisfaction when adjusted for other factors (age, sex, economic status, treatment type, duration of hospital stays, treatment outcome, and total expense).Conclusion: Despite higher expenses, the overall satisfaction level was significantly better in private health-care facilities. These findings need to be explored in further large multicenter studies.
