This course focuses on service management in general and service operations in particular. It explores the elements that unite services, differentiate service processes from non-service processes, and distinguish various types of services from one another. Customers typically participate in the service process, often engaging in direct and uncensored interactions with employees and facilities. The resulting variations in demand present a challenge for the operations manager to utilize perishable service capacity effectively. This results from the co-occurrence of production and consumption, and thus the inability to inventory services. The course covers strategic and tactical issues associated with designing and managing service operations. It provides tools to help assess operations, redesign processes, and establish systems to ensure an excellent customer experience.
