Definitions of Service
Services are economic activities offered by one party to another,
most commonly employing time-based performances to bring
about desired results in recipients themselves or in objects or
other assets for which purchasers have responsibility. In
exchange for their money, time, and effort, service customers
expect to obtain value from access to goods, labor, professional
skills, facilities, networks, and systems; but they do not normally
take ownership of any of the physical elements involved.
(Christopher Lovelock and Lauren Wright)
A service is a time-perishable, intangible experience performed
for a customer acting in the role of a co-producer. (James
Fitzsimmons)

Sources of Service Sector
GrowthInformation Technology (e.g. Internet)
Innovation
◦Push theory (e.g. Post-it)
◦Pull theory (e.g. Cash Management)
◦Services derived from products (e.g. Netflix)
◦Exploiting information (e.g. Auto part sales)
◦Difficulty of testing service prototypes
Changing Demographics
◦Aging of the population
◦Two-income families
◦Growth in number of single people
◦Home as sanctuary
Key Operations Principles
Aggregation Principle
◦The higher the level of aggregation of resources and information, the
more predictable operations becomes (e.g. forecasts of total
resources needed tend to be more accurate than forecasts of
individual resources). This is a manifestation of the Central Limit
Theorem.
Uncertainty Principle
◦The more uncertainty in operations, the greater the need to employ
extra resources to cope with this uncertainty. Alternatively, the
greater the stability and predictability, the more efficiently
operations can function.
Efficiency Principle
◦All else being equal, operations should function as efficiently as
possible.
Distinctive Characteristics
of ServicesCustomer participation in the service process: attention to facility design,
opportunities for co-production, concern for customer and employee behavior
Simultaneity: process and outcomes are coupled, customer-facing activities
cannot be inventoried, increased importance of matching capacity to demand
Perishability: opportunity loss of idle capacity, capacity utilization is a significant
managerial challenge due to variable customer demand and lack of inventory for
absorbing fluctuations
Intangibility: customers cannot assess quality a priori, importance of reputation
Heterogeneity: customer involvement in delivery process results in variation in
service from customer to customer
Compared to manufacturing, these characteristics introduce more
uncertainty into the operating system with fewer options for
managing uncertainty and create an operational focus on managing
the customer experience throughout the service delivery process.
Service Package
Supporting Facility: The physical resources that must be in place
before a service can be sold. Examples are golf course, ski lift,
hospital, airplane.
Facilitating Goods: The material consumed by the buyer or items
provided by the consumer. Examples are food items, legal
documents, golf clubs, medical history.
Information: Operations data or information that is provided by
the customer to enable efficient and customized service.
Examples are patient medical records, seats available on a flight,
customer preferences, location of customer to dispatch a taxi.
The service package is a bundle of goods and services with
information that is provided in some environment. The
bundle consists of:
Service Package
(cont.)
Explicit Services: Benefits readily observable by the senses.
The essential or intrinsic features. Examples are quality of
meal, attitude of the waiter, on-time departure.
Implicit Services: Psychological benefits or extrinsic
features which the consumer may sense only vaguely.
Examples are privacy of loan office, security of a well
lighted parking lot.
