Surveys


Master Research has designed and conducted many surveys in a variety of disciplines including customer service, health, materials handling, transport and freight.

We work closely with clients to develop a set of clear objectives for the survey. We then design the survey instrument, pilot test the instrument and train the survey team.

We are able to utilise in-house staff because we up-skill your in-house team before commencing the survey. However, we can also provide a team dedicated to the survey, it depends on the requirements of each project.

Master Research is a one-stop survey shop; we design the survey, conduct the survey, create and clean the data before entry into a data base for statistical analysis and interpretation. The results of the survey are usually available within one week of the survey and a final report is produced within a month of completing the survey.

Some of the surveys we have conducted are -

  • Customer Service in hospitals
  • Materials Handling for Australia Post and Australian Air Express
  • Highway Freight for Worley International
  • Warehouse Materials Handling Systems for Steel
  • Traffic Counts - passengers and vehicles

Master Research are experts in statistical analysis especially where geographical processes are involved. We care about type 1 and 2 errors, we use power analysis to minimise the chances of type 2 errors.
