Abstract
Setting standards for local government services is discussed in the context of quality management with reference to a council's reception service. A case analysis is presented which examines customer enquiry patterns, service times and customer satisfaction and perceptions of a Scottish local authority's central reception service. Queuing theory is applied to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of alternative staffing levels .
