Abstract Povećana mobilnost putnika ukazuje kako autobusni prijevoz ima sve veći značaj na tržištu te
nameće potrebu i obvezu promatranja i djelovanja. Očekivanja putnika sve su veća i
zahtjevnija pa se zadovoljavanje njihovih očekivanja ne temelji samo na zadovoljavajućem ili
dobrom prijevoznom sredstvu (autobusu), nego na kompletnoj usluzi. Od jednostavne prodaje
karata, preko mobilnih i web-aplikacija i njihovog ažuriranja pa sve do kvalitetnog i sigurnog
vozila s nemalom količinom dodatne opreme te ljubaznog i pristupačnog voznog osoblja.
Stvaranje povjerenja u putnika, postiže se opipljivim i neopipljivim elementima pružene
usluge. Usluga prije svega mora imati osigurane standarde kvalitete koje će putnici prepoznati
i ostati vjerni daljnjem korištenju usluge. Kako bi se osigurala kvaliteta usluge, odnosno
ispunile potrebe putnika, menadžment ima ulogu neprestano raditi na uvođenju i poboljšanju
elemenata koji podižu razinu kvalitete usluge. Neki od važnih elemenata koji su
implementirani u svrhu pružanja bolje kvalitete usluge, uspostavljanje je procedura i procesa
koji su prisutni u svim segmentima poslovanja. Kako bi se moglo prilagoditi novim
procedurama i procesima, potrebno je napraviti promjenu organizacijske strukture koja će biti
spremna sve promjene implementirati pa na samom kraju i kontrolirati. Stoga je ključno
razvijanje interne komunikacije među svim zaposlenicima kako bi se podigla svijesti o
važnosti kvalitete.
Kontrola kvalitete postala je nezaobilazan dio u oblikovanju usluge, uz pomoć koje
menadžment mjeri zadane ciljeve i detektira eventualne opasnosti koje mogu narušiti
povjerenje putnika. U autobusnom prijevozu najvažnija je sigurnost putnika i pouzdanost
autobusa, stoga je ključna uspostava kontrole kvalitete tehničke ispravnosti. Uz tehnički
pregled vozila svaki bi prijevoznik trebao uspostaviti svoju kontrolu tehničke ispravnosti, a
licencirani pregledavači su ti koji, s obzirom na to da je nužno svako vozilo preventivno
pregledati, redovito u zadanim ciklusima u vlastitim servisima prijevoznika kontroliraju i
pregledavaju vozila.
S obzirom na to da se radi o procesima koji utječu na poboljšanje kvalitete, preventivno
djelovanje koje na vrijeme otkriva kvarove i na taj način pomaže da se uz minimalne troškove
ostvari maksimalna učinkovitost, a ujedno doprinosi i ostvarenju konkurentske prednosti,
postala je nužnost.
Kako procesi akvizicije i spajanja u organizaciji s jedne strane predstavljaju priliku za
pozicioniranje na tržištu i značaj za gospodarstvo, s druge strane su velik izazov
menadžmentu.
Prijevoznici imaju zadaću usmjeriti svoje aktivnosti u postavljanju organizacije koja će moći
provesti nove standarde u svim segmentima kako bi moglo doći do povećanja razine kvalitete
usluge i odnosa prema korisnicima.
Abstract (english) Considering the increased mobility of passengers, transportation by bus is increasingly
gaining relevance on the market. The expectations of passengers are increasing and meeting
their requirements is not only based on having a good bus, but also on providing a complete
service. Starting with selling tickets in a more convenient way, via mobile and web
applications, as well as updates for those apps, all the way to having a safe and high-quality
vehicle with accommodating and approachable bus staff. One of the ways to earn the trust of
the passengers is through providing tangible and intangible elements of the service.
Primarily, the service must adhere to the guaranteed quality standards which the passengers
will recognise and which will ensure their loyalty to the service in the future. In order to
ensure the quality of the service, i.e., meet the requirements of the passengers, the role of the
management is to continuously work toward introducing and improving the elements that
enhance the level of quality of the service. Some of the more important elements which have
been implemented for the purpose of providing a higher quality service include establishing
procedures and processes that exist in all segments of business. In order to adapt to new
procedures and processes, it is necessary to change the organisational structure which will
then be ready to implement and ultimately control all the changes. For that reason, it is
important to develop the internal communication between all employees, in order to raise
awareness about the importance of quality.
Quality control became an unavoidable part of forming the service and it is used by the
management to measure the goals that have been set and detect any potential risks that may
jeopardise passenger trust. The safety of passengers and the reliability of busses are the most
important factors of bus transport; therefore, it is essential to establish a system for controlling
the quality of maintaining the vehicles in good working order. Along with the technical
inspection of the vehicle, every transport operator should establish its own system for
controlling the technical condition of the vehicles, considering that every vehicle must
undergo regular preventive inspections according to scheduled inspection cycles, at transport
operator’s servicing centres by licenced inspectors.
It is important to note that these processes affect the improvement of quality and the
preventive actions that are used to detect faults in a timely manner, thereby assisting in
achieving maximum efficiency with minimal costs, and they also contribute to achieving a
competitive advantage.
On the one hand, the processes of acquisitions and mergers in an organisation represent an
opportunity for market positioning and are significant for the economy, on the other hand,
these processes represent major challenges for the management.
The task of transport operators is to focus their activities toward establishing an organisation
which will be able to implement new standards in all segments, in order to achieve an increase
in the quality of the service and improve the relationship with the users.
