Developing Supply Chains to support Service Operations
First – what are the definitions of “Services”
ƒ Deed, act, or performance (Berry, 1980)
ƒ An activity or series of activities… provided as solution to customer
problems (Gronroos, 1990)
ƒ All economic activity whose output is not physical product or
construction (Brian et al, 1987)
ƒ Intangible and perishable… created and used simultaneously (Sasser
et al, 1978)
ƒ A time-perishable, intangible experience performed for a customer
acting in the role of co-producer (Fitzsimmons, 2001)
ƒ A change in condition or state of an economic entity (or thing) caused
by another (Hill, 1977)
ƒ Characterized by its nature (type of action and recipient), relationship
with customer (type of delivery and relationship), decisions
(customization and judgment), economics (demand and capacity),
mode of delivery (customer location and nature of physical or virtual
space) (Lovelock, 1983)
ƒ Deeds, processes, performances (Zeithaml & Bitner, 1996)

Developing Supply Chains to support Service Operations
Supply Chain Management – ‘Traditional’ / ‘Services’
* Definition; Supply Chain Management – “Supply Chain Management
encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved
in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management.
It includes coordination and collaboration with all channels and partners,
Integrating supply and demand management within and across an
Enterprise.
ƒ Supply Chain Management addresses effective and efficient use of:
– Physical assets
• Inventory
• Production capacity
Traditional SCM > ‘Asset’ focused
–
– Intellectual Capital
– Expertise / Consultation
15
Services SCM > ‘Resource’ focused

Why Services & Labor Based Supply Chains?
ƒ Traditional application of supply chain principles has been
for effective and efficient management of asset based
business
ƒ Evolution of US business environment is increasingly
moving toward Service businesses
ƒ Primary element of capacity in Service businesses is labor
and expertise
ƒ Globalization of service businesses adds additional
complexity for the effective and efficient use of labor /
human resources

Why should we care – Why is it important?
A global challenge for our times
ƒ Client perspective - right resources right place right time
right price
ƒ Business perspective – in light of global business
maximize efficient and effective utilization of all aspects of
the supply chain including…. human resources, capacity,
etc
ƒ Academia – realization of evolving global service
environment

A Service Business Example:
“A visit to a Hospital for an Elective Procedure
ƒ Visit to a medical services provider
–Medical services visit assumes
–
Right room “supply”
–
with the right staff
–
and the right materials (food /beverage/etc)
–
available in the right quantity….
–Given a “somewhat predictable demand”…..

Developing Supply Chains to support Service Operations
The Challenge
In a business that is labor-based, we need to optimize our human resources.
To get the right person, with the right skills, at the right time, place and cost.
Our view of human resources is very broad, including:
ƒ“Buy” - hire a regular or supplemental
ƒ“Make” - redeploy, leveraging learning
ƒ“Rent” - utilize a subcontractor
ƒBy 2025, nearly 25% of the US population – more than 86,000,000 people – will
be over 60
ƒ60% of HR professionals operating in mature markets had difficulty identifying
and developing the critical employee skills and talents that are vital to remain
competitive*
ƒAn extended workforce of 1 million in 75 countries, speaking 165 languages

Defining a Services Business Model
ƒ Business Model: the way a company intends to
generate revenue and profits from its various markets
through its service offerings.
ƒ It encompasses defining a robust value proposition for
the services offered.

Services Value Statement
ƒ Value Proposition is a statement summarizing the
customer segment, competitors and the basic
differentiation of one's services from the offerings of
competitors.
ƒ A value proposition should answer the question:
“Why should a customer buy this service?”
