17. 2. IN SERVICE SECTOR
INTRODUCTION
Unlike the manufacturing sector, the
service sector does not have physical
goods to be manufactured for the
customer.
The data processing applications like
payroll, accounting and inventory are
required in the service industry too,
but they may not be all critical to the
service industry

18. INTRODUCTION
Service is essentially a process of human
interaction.
Any human interaction is knowledge
based, hence information based

19. INTRODUCTION
 Tom peters in ‘The service Edge’ states
five principles of a distinctive service.
1. Listen, understand, and Respond to the
customers.
2. Define a superior service and establish a
service strategy.
3. Set standards and measure and performance.
4. Select, train and empower the employees
to work for the customers.
5. Recognize and reward the accomplishments.

20. CREATING A DISTINCTIVE SERVICE
 Service VS product
SERVICE PRODUCT
Service is not tangible. Product is tangible(real or
Definite)
Services are offered on Demand Products are offered on
payment
Service cannot be Demonstrated Product can be demonstrated
To judge quality of service is
difficult due to its customers
response and behavior
It can be possible to judge
quality of product

21. CREATING A DISTINCTIVE SERVICE
 To summaries, the service conscious
management would create service focused
organization, where:
1. The organization listens, understands and
responds swiftly to the changing character of the
customer wants, needs and expectations.
2. The organization develops and maintains a
‘customer-friendly’ service delivery system.
3. Organization employs, inspires and develops a
customer-oriented frontline personnel.
 in sort, the service function essentially is a
human interaction between the service receiver
and the provider.

22. CREATING A DISTINCTIVE SERVICE
PURPOSE EXPECTATION PERCEPTION
Annual health
checkup
Quick service and total
coverage at single location
with proper guidance and
advise
Depends on
socioeconomic status.
Normal treatment Proper guidance and very
less waiting time
Less paper work and
infrequent visit
Emergency Immediate
attention,necessary
resources and services are
immediately available
Doctor’s choice and a
norm of immediate
attention
Hospitalization Clean and quiet
surrounding.pleasant,stay
and fast recovery
Service with smile

23. SERVICE CONCEPT
 Service is an identifiable, intangible activity
or a process designed to fulfill certain
expectations of the customer/consumer.
 Kotler defines it as ‘service is an activity or a
benefit that one part can offer to another
which is essentially intangible and does not
result in the ownership of anything
 To understand the service better, it is necessary
to understand its character or attributes as
below

24. SERVICE CONCEPT
Service character or attributes as below
 Intangibility
 All services are fully intangible i.e they lack
‘physical existence’. They can be seen being
delivered and being received by the customer but
cannot be displayed.
 For example, teacher teaches in the class with
textbook, notebook, chalk or transparencies are
the goods associated with ‘teaching’, a service
where customer is a student.

25. SERVICE CONCEPT
 Inseparability of Receiver & Provider
 In Service case, receiver and provider must be
present.
 Service process cannot be executed unless both
are present at the site of service delivery.
 Storage
 Service being intangible cannot be stored like
goods, which can be stored in the warehouse
and can be used at a later date.

26. SERVICE CONCEPT
 Inconsistency( not in agreement)
 The inconsistency occurs due to different service
providers performing at different times.
 Though service process is the same, service
experience varies from incident to incident.
 Every customer has different service expectations.
 For example, bank’s ATM service is consistent
and is also standard when compared with other
banks. However, a service is remembered by its
quality

27. SERVICE CONCEPT
 The quality of service has two dimensions, namely:
1. Quality of resources used: service inputs,
equipment's, facilities, tools, designs and so on.
2. Functional quality of the process : empathy,
level of responsiveness, and process design
quality
 Note: all services have two components, one
basic core and second its features.
