     We consider customer feedbacks as a way of continuous improvement of our services, equipment and workforce.  That is why our Customer Care and Monitoring Office  conducts survey once a year to its three major departments, namely:  Operations Department, Finance Department and the Management Information System.  Areas of improvement are identified and concerns are addressed to give our customers efficient and effective services to secure their loyalty with OPASCOR.
