Based on this experience, they discuss three fundamentals of a service-led business: Service is Information, Personal to You; Service Connects You to Your Customer and Service is Specialization. Baines and Lightfoot in “Towards an Operations Strategy for the Infusion of Product-Centric Services into Manufacturing” studies the process of creating value by adding services to products, the so called servitization or servicizing process. A science of service systems will need to explore the evolution of different types of service systems.
The main principles embodied in McDonald’s operation include: (1) standardizing and reducing variety of products; (2) simplification, standardization and automation of processes so that workers with limited skills and training can reliably produce quality products and deliver high quality service offerings; (3) monitoring and control of process performance. Levitt (1972, 1976) describes how companies could apply the production-line approach to service business and further suggests that companies can substitute “technology for people and serendipity”, and apply three types of technologies – hard, soft, and hybrid – to industrialize service offerings.
For example, all printers are located in a print room. Finishing devices such as inserters are located in a separate room. These centers are more akin to job shops that have high levels of flexibility in terms of using equipment for different jobs. Incoming work flows from one department to another until the service request if fulfilled in its entirety. In the next section, a structure for redesigning the traditional service centers into more efficient and cost-effective operations is proposed.
