Short answer 39 words

An escalation loop is the path a problem follows when it is not fixed: the dealer is notified, then the regional manager, then head office, each with a deadline. It makes sure a flagged issue reaches someone who acts.

The fuller answer

Without a loop, issues are seen and ignored.

Define the steps and the time between them.

Example escalation timing (illustrative)
  1. Day 0

    Issue flagged, dealer notified

  2. Day 3

    Still open: regional manager notified

  3. Day 7

    Still open: head office review

  4. After fix

    Check it holds

Mistakes to avoid

  • No end point

    Instead: Every loop needs a check that the fix landed.
