New Service Development
Service Innovation
Service Design and Service Package
Service Design Examples
Shin‐Ming GuoNKUST
Review: Service Package
Supporting Facility: The physical resources that must be in place before a service can be sold.
Facilitating Goods: The material consumed by the buyer or items provided by the consumer.
Information: Operations data or information that is provided to enable efficient and customized service.
Explicit Services: Benefits readily observable by the senses. The essential or intrinsic features.
Implicit Services: Psychological benefits or extrinsic features which the consumer may sense only vaguely.

I. Innovation in Services
3
Idea Generation: Customers, Employees, Competitors, Technology
Basic Research: Pursue a planned search for new knowledge regardless of possible application. (number theory)
Applied Research: Apply existing knowledge to problems in creation of new service. (security coding)
Development: Apply knowledge to problems to improve a current service. (on‐line shopping)
Technology-Driven Service Innovations

Source of Technology
Service Example Service Industry Impact
Power/energy Jet aircraft Electric vehicles
International flight is feasibleBattery charging/exchange
Facility design Hotel atriumEnclosed stadium
Feeling of grandeur/spaciousnessYear‐around use
Materials Digital cameraSynthetic engine oil
Photo printing/TourismFewer oil changes
Methods Just‐in‐time (JIT)Da Vinci surgery
Reduce supply‐chain inventoriesSurgeons and quality improvement
Information e‐commerceInternet
Increase market to world‐wideVideo on demand

Case Study: Car Sharing
Best suited to urban locations where there was a dense base of potential users, parking was expensive, and the need to drive was limited.
Big hole in the rental market: short‐term, on‐demand private car access.

Information Technology for Car Sharing
• Mobile technology enables vehicle reservation and usage.
• Wireless transmission authorizes users, read odometer, mileages, and time stamps.
Challenges for Service Innovation

Limited ability to protect intellectual properties.
Definition of the intangibles.
Incremental nature of innovations.
Limited ability to build prototypes or conduct tests

Facility Design: Shouldice Hospital
Service Package for Car Sharing
Supporting Facility: office, parking space, maintenance center.
Facilitating Goods: membership card, cars, recorder, gasoline.
Information: web site, reservation system, driving records.
Explicit Services: cleanliness, convenience.
Implicit Services: 247 availability, environmental friendly service.

Managerial Decisions
• How to select and reserve a car?
• How to get access to the car?
• What about refueling?
• How to return the car?
• How to charge?
• What about maintenance?

Strategic Positioning via Process Structure
17
Degree of Complexity: Measured by the number of steps in the service blueprint, e.g., a clinic is less complex than a general hospital
Degree of Divergence: Amount of discretion permitted the server to customize the service, e.g., the activities of an attorney contrasted with those of a paralegal

Failsafing (pokayokes)
21
Service Encounter = moments of truth
Every customer contact is an opportunity to satisfy the customer.
To improve customers’ perception of service quality.
Service failures are often caused by interruptions or negligence.
Task to be done
Treatment accorded to the customer
Tangible features of the service
III. Generic Approaches to Service Design
22
Production‐line• Low Divergence• Service Flow• Cost and Consistent Quality
Customer as Co‐Producer• Low Complexity, High Divergence• Substitute Technology for People• Cost and Convenience
Customer Contact• High Complexity, High Divergence• Service Encounter, Service Guarantee• High Performance Quality, Dependability
12
Service Design Example 1
23
Production Line Treat the service as a manufacturing process
Focus on tangibles, not people
Standardization uniform quality
Low contact high efficiency
Technology fool‐proofing equipment and process
Service Design Example 2
24
Customer as Co‐Producer having customers taking a greater role enhances the service
Self service cost, speed, convenience, customization
247 service availability
Appointments and reservations
Customers generated content Wiki, e‐markets

Service Design Example 3
25
Customer Contact how to achieve efficiency with customer participation
Separation of high and low contact operations
Employee empowerment + Keep track of customers’ preferences
total customization of service
Sales opportunities via personal relationship
Guidelines for Successful Service Design
26
1. Define the service package in detail
2. Focus on customer’s perspective (expectation and perception)
3. Recognize that designer’s perspective is different from the customer’s perspective
4. Define quality for tangible and intangibles elements
5. Make sure that recruitment, training, and rewards are consistent with service expectations
6. Establish procedures to handle exceptions
7. Establish systems to monitor service
14
Conclusion
• The process is the product.
• Service‐system matrix ≈ product‐process matrix
• Service blueprint ≈ process flow chart
• Inventory and scheduling are often not available to service operations.
• Expect and manage variability of service encounter
• Parts of the service packages are defined by the training and treatment the workers receive.
