The satisfaction of service quality exerts major influences on an enterprise’s business performance, customer loyalty and profits. Likewise, the promotion of service quality to enhance customers’ satisfaction has become a necessary trend. However, high customer’s satisfaction does not imply customers will purchase again. How to promote customers’ satisfaction is an issue worthy of discussion. Reichheld & Sasser (1990) suggest that losing existing customers brings more losses that exploring new ones. If enterprises can avoid losing customers and promote a 5% customer retention rate, it will increase profits by 25% to 85%. Therefore, customer relation management is highly important. This research examines the causes and results of the derived behavior generated from customer satisfaction in the manufacturing industry. A questionnaire is used as method and customers of the manufacturing industry are regarded as the objects to understand the relationship of the factors affecting the customers of the manufacturing industry. SPSS software is used to conduct factor analysis, regression analysis, and reliability analysis. From the conclusion of the analyses, it is shown that: materials and furnace engineering exert a significant and positive influence on the satisfaction of Kuan-Ho’s materials and furnace engineering. Materials and furnace engineering also exert a significant and positive influence on the satisfaction of the delivery date of Kuan-Ho’s materials and furnace engineering.
