6 What is fulfillment? Fulfillment does not include manufacturing of the main product, but more... Procurement and Purchasing Manufacturing (of additional products) Kitting & Assembly Warehousing Inventory Management page 5 Fulfillment is a term out of the US-American area and includes all processes that run before and after the manufacturing of the main product. The low partition of manufacturing within these processes allows to call fulfillment a service. Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 5
7 Service offer of Rhiem Services GmbH (extract) B- customer A-customer Complete Fulfillment Centralization of marketing material Welcome Packages rising scale of the service C- customer Single printing products CD/ DVDmanufacturing, Disks duplication Single carton products page 6 Today s product and service offer - Today s services are divided into different groups according their scale and different customers. - Services for C-customers are closely linked with material products and can still be named products. - Services for B-customers already integrate preliminary and follow-up processes of production processes. E.g. activities like warehousing and procurement are part of a process to centralize marketing material. - Services for A-customers include the entire service range and are called Fulfillment. A characteristic of the service range of Rhiem Services GmbH is the core element of printing products. Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 6
8 Content of the exercise Initial situation: Invitation to bid by the company Agomie Placement of order for Fulfillment (duration min. 5 years) 1.5 mill. drives for data saving by magnetic storage medium (floppy disks) per year Manufacturing of floppy-drives in south east Asia Work of Rhiem Services GmbH (door-to-door-time 7 workdays) Warehousing of the complete products in interim storages for the market Which service processes shall be operated within Rhiem Services? By which means is it possible to establish service quality? How can service quality be assessed and improved? page 7 Task of the exercise is the preparation of an offer for a fulfillment-service. Main part will be the modeling of the service processes and their quality assurance. A detailed description of the starting situation will be given in the exercise. This exercise discusses a similar customer like Panasonic already is for Rhiem Services. All important processes that follow up the production in Asia and prepare the product for mass distribution of completely packaged products are being handled by RHIEM.

9 Modeling of service processes by Service Blueprinting Customer-activities Service provider s activities Onstage- activities invisible activities Backstage-activities secondary activities Support-activities Potentialactivities Perceived by the customer Service Blueprinting direct customer induce activities Preparation-activities Facility-activities Line of interaction Line of visibility Line of internal interaction Line of order penetration Line of implementation F Service provider s activities Customer s activities Specific event Source of failure Decision Activities input-/output Basic service process Quelle: Kleinaltenkamp, Michael: Service-Blueprinting Nicht ohne den Kunden. In: technischer vertrieb, April, 2(1999), S page 8 Service Blueprinting Detailed information about the method - The modeling of service processes is mostly done with service blueprints. - The service blueprint represents the service process and structures all its partial activities independently from the providing business unit in different labels. These labels can be distinguished by their distance to the customer. Structure and labels of a service-blueprint: - Customer-activities lie above the line of interaction and include all activities, that are done by the customer. - Onstage-activities are located between the line of interaction and the line of visibility and include all direct customer induced and activities, that are perceived by the customer. - Backstage-activities lie between the line of visibility and the line of internal interaction and include all direct customer-related activities. These activities have to be fulfilled by the customer interfaces human being or machine and they can not be perceived by the customer. - Support-activities lie between the line of internal interaction and the line of order penetration and include all activities where customer information is transferred to customer related activities by internal units (e.g. office duty services). - Preparation-activities lie between the line of order penetration and the line of implementation and include all activities, that support the market development or service preparation. They don not depend on a special customer order. - Facility-activities lie below the line of implementation and include all activities, that support the supply of an infrastructure and guarantee the basic capability of the service provider. Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 8
10 Functions of a Service Blueprint Consumer research tool (modeling of the customer-service provider-interface) - supplying the customer with necessary information - guaranteeing transparent procedures for the customer - informing the customer of changes and innovations Planning- and structuring tool (process modeling) - process flow planning - organization structure of the service provider (one-face-to-the-customer) - resource set up and deployment Analysis tool (business-process-reengineering) - optimization of existing/ grown procedures page 9 The method Service Blueprinting can be used for modeling service processes and as a Consumer Research Tool, for Planning and Structuring and as an Analysis Tool, too. Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 9
11 Procedure for the development of a Service Blueprint 1. Preparation phase - define and describe the process - define the task clearly - define an interdisciplinary team - appointment for a co-operative workshop - invite the team members 2. Working phase - workshop using the pin-board technique 3. Post processing phase - final documentation of the developed process flows 4. Implementation phase - distributing the results among the involved departments and employees - defining necessary actions for implementation and introduction - controlling of the implementation page 10 The creation of a Blueprint is done in four steps with a interdisciplinary workshop as main part. Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 10
12 Fundamentals for modeling the main process Parts list: floppy drive, packaged in protective film folding box board, high gloss printed filler (3 parts) welcome package - installation software on disks - connecting cable - screws - installation manual - certification of guarantee - filler, protective film, elastic Order drives at the manufacturer and package the drives Printing and folding the box board Purchasing and stocking the piece goods Duplicating disks/ purchasing cables and screws Printing installation manual and certification of guarantee Purchasing, controlling and stocking the raw material (paper, carton, film, elastics, disks) Supporting processes: - Order management - Accounting and billing page 11 Creation of a Service blueprint for the Fulfillment process The entire fulfillment-process combines several value added processes. Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 11

15 Vignette-Technique - Assessment of Service Variants with regard to Customer Satisfaction How does the customer perceive different values of quality characteristics? Use of the vignette-technique (or conjoint analysis etc.) quality characteristics Value 1 Value 2 1 Listing of all generated combinations (vignettes) availability Normal hours of business 24 h-service 2 Perform a customer survey: promtptness individuality 3-4 days Standard procedure 1 day Various levels of service Presentation of all vignettes Assessing all vignettes by pair wise comparison Vignette 3 Determining the favorite service option Customer s favorite service option Quelle: Hoeth (1997), S.31ff page 14 Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 14
16 Vignette-Technique Task: List all feasible combinations (vignettes) quality characteristics Value 1 Value 2 Listing of all generated combinations (vignettes) availability Normal hours of business 24 h-service promtptness 3-4 days 1 day Normal hours of business 1 day individuality Standard procedure Various levels of service Standard procedure24 h-service Vignette days Various levels of service? Vignette 2 Vignette 3-8 Generate the theoretically possible number of vignettes: Z = n k with n = number of possible values with k = number of quality characteristics Quelle: Hoeth (1997), S.31ff => example: 2 values, 3 quality characteristics: => 2 3 = 8 vignettes page 15 Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 15
17 Vignette-Technique Task: List all feasible combinations (vignettes) Normal hours of business 1 day Standard procedure Vignette 1 24 h-service 3-4 days Various levels of service Vignette 2 Vignette 3 Listing of all generated combinations (vignettes) Vignette 7 Vignette 8 Vignette 4 Vignette 5 Vignette 6 page 16 Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 16
18 Vignette-Technique Task: Evaluation of vignettes by pairwise comparison Vignette 1 Vignette 1 Vignette 2 Vignette 3 Vignette 4 Vignette 5 Vignette 6 Vignette 7 Vignette 8 Sum 1 Listing of all generated combinations (vignettes) Vignette 2 2 Perform a customer survey: Vignette 3 Presentation of all vignettes Vignette 4 Assessing all vignettes by pair wise comparison Vignette 5 Vignette 6 Vignette 7 Vignette 8 Legend: 0= Horizontal vignette is rated below vertical vignette 1= Horizontal and vertical vignette are egual 2= Horizontal vignette is superior to vertical vignette => Effort: x= Z x= 1 1 ( Z := Amount of vignettes Z x) 28 pairs have to be compared! page 17 Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 17
19 Advantages and disadvantages of the vignette-technique Advantages: Disadvantages: Conclusion: Services can be evaluated ahead of their release to market Different variants of services can be compared The test-customer doesn t have to pay for the selected vignette => To be comparable, different variants of a service have to be of same dimension regarding their price/cost The effort necessary to perform the analyses is extremely dependent on the number of vignettes compared: e.g. 4 quality characteristics with 3 values: Z = n k = 3 4 = 81 vignettes! The service variants offered have to be of the same level regarding their price/cost. It can be helpful to add the price of a service-offer as a quality characteristic. The number of vignettes to be compared should be reduced in advance to performing the pair wise comparison. page 18 Quality Management in Service Industries E 12 page 18
20 Basics of the ServQual-Questionnaire Scientific basis ServQual (SERVice QUALity) is based on the GAP-Model and focuses on GAP 5. The method is based on measurement techniques of the empirical social research and is a multi-attributive procedure of the satisfaction research. Methodical basis First the customer is asked by standard questionnaire how the service should be (expectations). Then he is asked how the service really was perceived (perception). The difference between both values represents the necessity of improvement actions. page 19 ServQual - Detailed information about the method - The subjective and customer-orientated assessment procedure SERVQUAL is based on the GAP-model and evaluates the GAPs 1 to 5. - The assessment procedure SERVQUAL has been developed at the Marketing Science Institute (MSI) in Cambridge (MA) USA in 1980 s.
