10 Process Processes involve the procedures, tasks, schedules, mechanisms, activities and routines by which a service is delivered to the customer. Two Basic Concepts: Complexity Divergence

11 Process Complexity: Number of steps or sequence and intricacy ( or complexity) to be performed during the process Divergence: Executional freedom or variability of the steps

12 Process Higher Complexity leads to Higher Divergence gives rise to
Uniformity in quality Increased productivity Reduced cost of production thus lower selling price Low skilled or unskilled labourer High stanardisation Inflexibility Higher Divergence gives rise to High customisation Premium price High flexibility Skilled worker Difficult distribution

13 Process Four Strategies for Repositioning Through Structural Changes
Reduce Divergence Mass Marketing, Easy availability of services High Customisation, Niche marketing, Milching Increase Divergence Increase Complexity Market Penetration Reduce Complexity Specialised market, Easier Distribution

15 Steps in Service Blueprinting
Process Steps in Service Blueprinting 1. Divide the total process into different sequence and logical steps 2. Relate each activity and event with other activities and events 3. Allot divergence in each activity or event 4. Identify the fail points (executional and consistency problems) 5. Set executional standards in terms of Cost, performance criteria, and tolerance limits 6. Identify the moments of truth
