SSME (Service Sciences, Management, & Engineering) Because the world is a giant service system. Top Ten Nations by Labor Force Size (about 50% of world labor in just 10 nations) A = Agriculture, G = Goods, S = Services 2004 2004 United States (A) Agriculture: Value from harvesting nature (G) Goods: Value from making products (S) Services: Value from enhancing the capabilities of things (customizing, distributing, etc.) and interactions between things The largest labor force migration in human history is underway, driven by global communications, business and technology growth, urbanization and low cost labor.
Service Characteristics • A service is a deed, a performance, a process, an effort. • What is being bought is intangible. • Services are produced and consumed almost simultaneously. Services in principle cannot be inventories. (No inventory) • Customers are involved in the production of the services. (Co-production) • Manufacturing firms also have a service component of their own. • Instant delivery and custom design (personalization) are both services.
Distinguishing services from goods • Inseparability • Services are created and consumed at the same time • Services cannot be inventoried • Demand fluctuations cannot be solved by inventory processes • Quality control cannot be achieved before consumption • Consideration: Does the ability to tailor and customize goods to the customers’ demands and preferences mean that these goods also have an inseparability characteristic? • Heterogeneity • From the client’s perspective, there is typically a wide variation in service offerings • Personalization of services increases their heterogeneous nature • Perceived quality-of-service varies from one client to the next • Consideration: Can a homogeneous perception of quality due to customer preference idiosyncrasies (or due to customization) also benefit the goods manufacturer?
Distinguishing services from goods • Intangibility • Services are ideas and concepts that are part of a process • The client typically relies on the service providers’ reputation and the trust they have with them to help predict quality-of-service and make service choices • Regulations and governance are means to assuring some acceptable level of quality-of-service • Consideration: Do most services processes involve some goods? • Perishability (No inventory) • Any service capacity that goes unused is perished • Services cannot be stored so that when not used to maximum capacity the service provider is losing opportunities • Service capability estimation and planning are key aspects for service management • Consideration: Do clients who participate in some service process acquire knowledge which represents part of the stored service’s value? What might the impact be? • Co-produced

Products vs. Services • Products can be seen as the physical embodiment of the service provided. • Cars • provide comfortable transportation services • Televisions • deliver entertainment • Cosmetics • offer beatification services • Cameras • provides services for wonderful memory

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) The measures an organization takes to • identify, • select, • acquire, • work with, and • retain its customers. Acquiring new customer vs. retaining existing customer Acquisition costs vs. customer life time value
Objectives of CRM • The right offer (products or services) • To the right person (target marketing) • At the right time (spacing outbound calls) • Through the right channel (direct vs. channel) • Via appropriate media (phone, email, Web) • By the right employees and service partners.
Recency, Frequency, and Monetary Value • An organization can find its most valuable customers by using a formula that industry insiders call RFM: • How recently a customer purchased items (recency) • How frequently a customer purchases items (frequency) • How much a customer spends on each purchase (monetary value)
