In recent years there has been a paradigm shift in the interpersonal relationship within manufacturing organizations. With TQM
practices in place, service function play a key role in enhancing its offering to production function as well as business enterprise
on the whole. The concept of customer is redefined internally relating ‘Next Process as your customer’. This leads to
understanding the requirements of internal customers and satisfying their needs. The end result focuses on getting them better
served in the linkage of supply chain. This study is built on such research and is focused on the quality of internal services
provided by ‘Internal Suppliers to ‘Internal customers’. To obtain a diverse population sample, quantitative data was collected
from Lucas TVS Chennai. A total of 550 questionnaires were personally administered, out of which 500 were obtained as
complete for usage. At the screening stages, 22 questionnaires had to be rejected due to inconsistent and incongruous response.
Thus, the final sample size in the present study had been that of 478 respondents, providing an 87 per cent response rate, which is
considered to be reasonably satisfactory. In condition to this, Correlation analysis was interpreted through checking the direction
and magnitude of each two related variable in terms of the r value. The hierarchical regression helped us to further understand the
relationship among variables. Selected demographic variables were entered in the second block of the regression model. Data
interpretation was made based on the results of ANOVA, Factor analysis, Regression and correlation analysis. During the whole
analysis process objectivity was maintained. This study has implications for human resource managers and it further advances the
knowledge base of internal service quality in the field of manufacturing organization.
