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.
• Customers are involved in the production of the services.
• Manufacturing firms also have a service component of their own.
• Instant delivery and custom design are both services.
Services - 12 © Minder Chen, 2009
Services Definition
• A service is a provider/client interaction that creates and captures value.
• The provider and client coordinate their work (co-production) and in the process, both create and capture value (transformation).
• Services typically require assessment, during which provider and client come to understand one another's capabilities and goals.
• A time-perishable, intangible experience performed for a customer acting in the role of co-producer (Fitzsimmons, 2001)

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 consumptionConsideration: 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 nextConsideration: Can a homogeneous perception of quality due to customer
preference idiosyncrasies (or due to customization) also benefit the goods manufacturer?
Services - 14 © Minder Chen, 2009
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-serviceConsideration: 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
managementConsideration: 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

• Manufacturing services: IC design houses, TSMC foundry service
• Pure manufacturing: Manufacturing of commodity products

Products vs. Services
• Products can be seen as the physical embodiment of the service provided.
– Cars provide comfortable transportation services
– Televisions deliver entertainment

Service-Oriented Model & Architecture
The service target may be the service client itself.
Services - 20 © Minder Chen, 2009
Service Systems
• Service systems are value-creation networks composed of people, technology, and organizations.
• Interventions taken to transform state and coproduce value constitute services.
• Example in IT outsourcing– A service provider operates the computing infrastructure for a
service client.
– The provider augments the client’s capabilities, taking on responsibility for monthly service-level agreements and year-over-year productivity improvements.
• Service system complexity is a function of the number and variety of people, technologies, and organizations linked in the value creation networks, ranging in scale from professional reputation systems of a single kind of knowledge worker or profession, to work systems composed of multiple type of knowledge workers, to enterprise systems, to industrial systems, etc.
