3. Based on an Air-Conditioning Service Company
The company services Air-conditioning systems in private homes, offices and retail outlets.
The company has an office for sales enquiries generated through advertising, flyers and
their website. The office also deals with purchasing supplies, parts stockholding, job
scheduling, payroll and general admin. The offsite service staff rarely visit the office as
they are required to be off-site to accomplish their duties.

The team leader finds that there
is extra work to do that is not in
the standard service agreement.
The customer agrees to pay an
extra cost and the work is done.
The OSM already contains the
invoice for the standard service
with a space to enter extra
charges.
The team leader enters the extra
cost and totals the invoice.
The customer agrees and signs
with an electronic signature on
the OSM and a receipt is sent to
the customers e-mail address.
The OSM reports back to the
SPM, the PRM and the AM that
the job is done and they have
the payment in hand.
