This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will support research to develop models and techniques for designing effective delay announcement systems to enhance customer satisfaction in service environments such as healthcare, financial services, and hospitality. The $146,449.00 award, granted to Trustees of Dartmouth College, will fund the project "Collaborative Research: Design of Delay Announcement Systems to Manage Customer Waiting Experience: Behavioral Models and Field Experiments" from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2028. The research aims to determine optimal approaches for communicating delay information to customers in a way that encourages them to wait for service and improves their overall satisfaction, providing a relatively low-cost solution compared to increasing staffing or facilities. The project will leverage multidisciplinary analytical and behavioral modeling methods to engineer delay announcement systems that can be applied across various service industries to enhance economic welfare, healthcare outcomes, and customer experience.
