I. Introduction
Angkas was founded by Angeline Tham and George Royeca in 2016. However,
during that time, Ms. Tham owned 99%of Angkas via its corporate entity, the
DBDOYC Inc., which made it a Singaporean company and resulted in issues with
the Philippine law. The Foreign Investment Act of 1991 (R.A. 7042) states that at
least 60% of the business should be owned by a Filipino citizen, while the rest can
be owned by the foreign investor. This led Angkas to change its ownership structure
in 2020, with George Royeca as the current CEO and Chief Transport Advocate,
with him emerging with a 60% stake. Currently, Angkas is a Filipino-owned
company that was made possible due to the two founders’ experience in heavy
traffics in the Philippines. During the six years of business in the Philippines, Angkas
has successfully spearheaded an effort to change the government regulators'
unfavorable perception of motorbikes as a mode of public transportation and set the
course for restrictions on motorcycle taxis. Angkas continues to advocate for the
safety and regulation of motorcycle taxis which contributes positively to the daily
lives of millions of Filipino commuters.

Even with Angkas’ popularity and great marketing, there are still customer complaints
that need to be resolved in order to result in greater service. Angkas still experiences
cancellation and booking problems which can damage major operations and most
importantly, the company’s reputation. (See Passenger Complaints for sources).
These problems can be solved by analyzing and dissecting them one-by-one for
each process involved.

Angkas has been doing its best to accommodate the Filipino commuters.
Despite their effort to help solve the traffic crisis in the Philippines, several problems
such as customer complaints still arise. Passengers have been expressing their
complaints mostly on Angkas’ official Facebook page through their posts. There are
also complaints found on Angkas’ official Twitter and Tiktok pages.

Booking Problem
It's been a week, always busy & riders keep on saying they can pick you up
for any reason, then just found out that they will not pick it up once you're using a
voucher. How disappointing. I've been always an Angkas user not until lately.
Bad Drivers plus ang hirapmakapag book lalona kung may code. Ang
susungit ng drivers tas di naglilinis ng helmet.

Cancellation Problem
Hi @angkas nearly in every single one of my bookings, a driver requests to
cancel the booking. This time, the driver even had the gall to pretend he arrived at
the pick-up point. Please fix your system.

Angkas still has the opportunity to improve and develop their system app to make
it more efficient for commuters. The fishbone diagram shows the Support, Personnel,

As seen in the table above, the new processes are suggested to counter the
negative factors mentioned in the Fishbone Diagram. This will help Angkas to extend
their service in a more positive light and system.
Here is the suggested course of action for enhancing the operation in Angkas,
which is based on the improvement scope stated above. This study is aimed in
helping Angkas develop a better system that would help them fulfill their objectives
and desired outcomes.

be added as well to help the new Angkas user get a better understanding of the
application and become more acquainted with it. Lastly, the terms and conditions are
posted so that it can reviewed, read how their service operates, understand the legal
rights when using the app, etc. Lastly, the terms and conditions will be updated with
regard to the rider's cancellation of rides in order to help the passengers understand
their rights as consumers and make them feel more secured and covered knowing
that this kind of behavior is strongly discouraged in the Angkas application.

The pinned location will be more accurate and precise, ensuring that the
riders arrive at the exact area that the passenger booked. Additionally, this will make
the arrival earlier than usual and assure that there is no confusion about the location.
Since the proposed new process shows a better view and more routes, it will be
easier for both the rider and the customer to track each other that will help in building
more trust and assurance.

Figure 10 Current
and New Process
Proposal for History
The current history record of Angkas doesn’t show which transaction was
cancelled. Hence, the new process for Angkas’ history record will show the
transactions cancelled. Moreover, it will inform both the rider and the customer who
cancelled the transaction and will require a reason for cancellation. This new process
can help Angkas in tracking customers who often cancel, a.k.a bogus bookers, and
give them warning or penalty points that when accumulated, can result in deletion of
account. Also, with the help of the proposed new process in Customer Registration
(see pages 7 to 9), bogus bookers won’t be able to create a new account.

Figure 11 Current
and New Process
Proposal for Chat
and Accepting
Books
The new booking process proposes an additional feature that will bebeneficial
for both parties. The current process only shows two options: “Accept” and “Decline”.
In the new process, a reason for cancellation will be required and will ask which party
wishes to cancel the transaction. Also, the booking will automatically be given to the
nearest rider instead of informing other riders of it. If the rider declines, he can state
23
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
the reason and only then will it be given to the next nearest rider. With this newly
proposed booking process, the rider’s application will be less chaotic or messy and
easier to configure. It will also help the customer save time in booking a ride.
Additionally, there will be an option to talk with your rider in a real time chat
box to connect immediately upon rider's acceptance of booking. This will help resolve
the poor communication problem in the Methods section of the Fishbone diagram, as
it is more efficient and less time-consuming in contacting both parties and complete
the transaction more easily.

will surely grow over time. In addition to that, it is expected that Angkas will receive

outcomes per aspect in the Fishbone Diagram:
Support System: Improve customer service and quality service, build a solid
reputation, and acquire new customers while retaining loyal ones.
Personnel: Increase safety, positive rider behaviour, and increased revenues.
Methods: Fair booking, prevent ride cancellations, and easily identify
scammers.
Application System: Easy booking, increase customer satisfaction, faster
trips, prevent bad reviews, and more efficient application.
Unexpected Circumstances (Environment): Increase safety, prevent bad
reviews, and readiness in emergency response plans.
