Is there any problem like too much waiting interval etc. faced by the user? Did the user fix the problem? Was that solution satisfactory enough? Ans. Few years ago there were complaints that the lift had too much waiting interval which was around 45 seconds due to poor maintenance of doors which was the main reason. So all the doors were replaced by newer ones which improved the waiting interval to 37.5 seconds. The solution did satisfy the user. Q9. Has there been any accident reported uptil now? Ans. No there are no reports of any accident happening in the lift from the time since the lift was installed

CONCLUSION
From the case study of we come to the following conclusions, they are as follows:
QUANTITY OF LIFT: o The lift has adequate handling capacity of 14.81% which is quite sufficient for residential buildings. Hence it is very efficient in terms of quantity. QUALITY OF LIFT: o The lift has a fair amount of waiting interval of 37.5 seconds which can be improved further o However the lift is adequately maintained, hence satisfying its users. Its monthly maintenance is quite sufficient to maintain the lifts quality
Hence the lift that we studied is sufficient both in terms of QUANTITY & QUALITY. However with certain modifications the lift would be even better
