LITEON operates primarily on a B2B model. Each business unit has established a dedicated Cross Function Team (CFT) for its customers, covering order fulfillment, product R&D and manufacturing, quality, delivery, cost and after-sales service. Supported by dedicated customer contacts from Sales and Customer Quality Service (CQS), our CFTs respond promptly to customer inquiries and feedback with comprehensive solutions. To shorten response times for technical support, delivery and after-sales service, LITEON has established manufacturing sites, branch offices and distribution warehouses close to customers worldwide, and digitalized procurement, planning, logistics and financial processes on an ERP platform.

Customer Support and Feedback Channels Customers can request support, give feedback or raise complaints through the following channels:

  • Online form and email: the "Contact Us" on the corporate website and email to dedicated customer contacts.
  • Dedicated phone line: Dedicated phone lines of Sales and CQS contacts at each business unit
  • In person: Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR), customer visits, quality review meetings and customer audits
  • AI-based chatbot: As LITEON operates primarily on a B2B model, customers mainly engage directly with their dedicated contacts. LITEON's subsidiary Cedars Digital, which offers digital products and services directly to its customers, has deployed an AI assistant on its website, providing real-time carbon data inquiries and support.

Accessible Customer Service In 2024, LITEON revamped its corporate website to improve accessibility for elderly users and users with disabilities. The site has an enlarged default font size for readability, optimized site search, a sitemap and clearly structured menu for simplified navigation, and multilingual content. For visits to our headquarters or major sites, accessibility assistance and barrier-free routes can be arranged in advance upon request.

 

 

Incorporating Customer Feedback into Products and Services Customer satisfaction is an important basis for LITEON's continuous improvement of products and services. Customer requirements and feedback are translated into Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) parameters and incorporated into product design and new product introduction reviews. Technical, quality and environmental requirements raised by customers are consolidated by Sales or CQS and converted into internal documents for implementation by the responsible units. Product changes are implemented only after customer approval.

Through customer scorecards, audit results, QBRs and the quality management system, LITEON conducts annual customer satisfaction surveys with major customers. For any survey item scoring below 4 (out of 5), the responsible department proposes corrective actions. Sales tracks these actions to completion within a designated timeframe, and they are incorporated into the department's operating plan for the following year. Improving customer evaluation scores is included in the performance indicators of relevant departments. In 2025, the average customer satisfaction across all BUs score 90.03%, exceeding our target of 85%.

Complaint Handling Process LITEON's complaint handling procedure is part of its ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, certified by at our major manufacturing sites, with certificates valid in 2025 and subject to annual surveillance audits. All complaints and feedback about products and services are logged by CQS in a Customer Complaint Summary List. Customers receive acknowledgement of receipt together with the expected resolution timeline. 

Customers receive acknowledgement of receipt together with the expected resolution timeline. In principle, receipt of major complaints is acknowledged within 2 hours, with a preliminary analysis targeted within 72 hours and an 8D report within 5 working days; for minor issues, a final reply is generally provided within 7 working days. Actual timelines may vary depending on the complexity of the issue, and customer-specified timelines take precedence where applicable.
LITEON continues to follow up until the customer is satisfied, and customer-specified timelines take precedence where applicable.

 

 

 

Quality is a core value at LITEON. We continuously improve product and service quality through customer feedback, quality management systems and operational excellence initiatives to achieve high customer satisfaction.

Six Sigma and Quality Culture Six Sigma is a key quality management strategy at LITEON. Six Sigma improvement results are linked to each business unit's operational targets and have become part of LITEON's quality culture. These improvement activities are also extended to key suppliers so that quality improvement efforts across the supply chain move in the same direction. LITEON provides Six Sigma and quality control training, including Green Belt and Black Belt programs, and shares best practices across sites through benchmarking, presentations and project competitions.

End-to-End Quality Assurance LITEON ensures quality at every stage, from prototyping to finished-product shipment. Mass production teams take part early in new product introduction. Strict supplier management and Golden Line deployment then allow stable quality to be replicated quickly.
