Integrating Service Quality and Productivity Strategies
• Quality and productivity are twin paths to creating value for both customers and companies
• Quality focuses on the benefits created for customers; productivity addresses financial costs incurred by firm
• Importance of productivity:o Keeps costs down to improve profits and/or reduce prices o Enables firms to spend more on improving customer serviceo Secures firm’s future through increased spending on R&Do May impact service experience—marketers must work to minimize
negative effects, promote positive effects

Capturing the Customer’s Perspective of Service Quality: SERVQUAL (1)
• Survey research instrument based on premise that customers evaluate firm’s service quality by comparingo Their perceptions of service actually received o Their prior expectations of companies in a particular
industry*
• Poor qualityo Perceived performance ratings < expectations
• Good qualityo Perceived performance ratings > expectations
![Page 9: Service Marketing Chapter 14](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020711/551f9a08497959335b8b5030/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Other Considerations in Service Quality Measurement
• In uncompetitive markets or in situations where customers do not have a free choice, researchers should use needs or wants as comparison standards
• Services high in credence characteristics may cause consumers to use process factors and tangible cues as proxies to evaluate quality—halo effecto Process factors: Customers’ feelings

Tools to Analyze and Address Service Quality Problems
• Fishbone diagramo Cause-and-effect diagram to identify potential causes of problems
• Pareto Charto Separating the trivial from the important. Often, a majority of problems
is caused by a minority of causes (i.e. the 80/20 rule)• Blueprinting
o Visualization of service delivery, identifying points where failures are most likely to occur

Blueprinting (more in Ch. 8)
• Depicts sequence of front-stage interactions experienced by customers plus supporting backstage activities
• Used to identify potential fall points—where failures are most likely to appear
• Shows how failures at one point may have a ripple effect later
• Managers can identify points which need urgent attentiono Important first step in preventing service quality
problems

Tools to Analyze and Address Service Quality Problems (Appendix)
• Total Quality Management (TQM)• ISO 9000
o Comprises requirements, definitions, guidelines, and related standards to provide an independent assessment and certification of a firm’s quality management system
• Malcolm Baldrige Model Applied to Serviceso To promote best practices in quality management, and recognizing,
and publicizing quality achievements among U.S. firms• Six Sigma
o Statistically, only 3.4 defects per million opportunities (1/294,000)o Has evolved from defect-reduction approach to an overall business-
improvement approach

Return On Quality (ROQ)
• Assess costs and benefits of quality initiatives o ROQ approach is based on four assumptions:
Quality is an investment Quality efforts must be financially accountable It’s possible to spend too much on quality Not all quality expenditures are equally valid
o Implication: Quality improvement efforts may benefit from being related to productivity improvement programs
o To determine feasibility of new quality improvement efforts, determine costs and then relate to anticipated customer response
• Determine optimal level of reliability o Diminishing returns set in as improvements require higher investments o Know when improving service reliability becomes uneconomical
![Page 28: Service Marketing Chapter 14](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020711/551f9a08497959335b8b5030/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

5. Defining and Measuring Productivity
![Page 30: Service Marketing Chapter 14](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020711/551f9a08497959335b8b5030/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Slide © 2007 by Christopher Lovelock and Jochen Wirtz Services Marketing 6/E Chapter 14 - 30
Productivity in a Service Context
• Productivity measures amount of output produced relative to the amount of inputs.
• Improvement in productivity means an improvement in the ratio of outputs to inputs.
• Intangible nature of many service elements makes it hard to measure productivity of service firms, especially for information-based serviceso Difficult in most services because both input and output are hard
to define o Relatively simpler in possession-processing services, as
compared to information- and people-processing services
![Page 31: Service Marketing Chapter 14](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020711/551f9a08497959335b8b5030/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Slide © 2007 by Christopher Lovelock and Jochen Wirtz Services Marketing 6/E Chapter 14 - 31
Service Efficiency, Productivity, and Effectiveness
• Efficiency: Involves comparison to a standard, usually time-based (for example: how long employee takes to perform specific task)o Problem: Focus on inputs rather than outcomeso May ignore variations in service quality/value
• Productivity: Involves financial valuation of outputs to inputso Consistent delivery of outcomes desired by customers
should command higher prices• Effectiveness: Degree to which firm meets goals
o Cannot divorce productivity from quality and customer satisfaction
![Page 32: Service Marketing Chapter 14](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020711/551f9a08497959335b8b5030/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Slide © 2007 by Christopher Lovelock and Jochen Wirtz Services Marketing 6/E Chapter 14 - 32
Measuring Service Productivity:Variability Is a Major Problem
• Traditional measures of service output tend to ignore variations in quality or value of serviceo Focus on outputs rather than outcomeso Stress efficiency but not effectiveness
• Firms that consistently deliver outcomes desired by customers can command higher prices; loyal customers are more profitable
• Measures with customers as denominator include:o Profitability by customero Capital employed per customero Shareholder equity per customer

2. Will improving productivity hurt quality?3. Will improving quality hurt productivity?4. Are employees or technology the key to
productivity?5. Can customers contribute to higher
productivity?

Generic Productivity Improvement Strategies
• Typical strategies to improve service productivity:o Careful control of costs at every step in processo Efforts to reduce wasteful use of materials or laboro Replacing workers by automated machineso Installing expert systems that allow paraprofessionals to take on work
previously performed by professionals who earn higher salaries• Although improving productivity can be approached
incrementally, major gains often require redesigning entire processes

Improving Service Productivity:(1) Operations-driven Strategies
• Control costs, reduce waste• Set productive capacity to match average demand• Automate labor tasks• Upgrade equipment and systems• Train employees*• Broadening array of tasks that a service worker can perform• Leverage less-skilled employees through expert systems• Service process redesign*
![Page 38: Service Marketing Chapter 14](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020711/551f9a08497959335b8b5030/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Slide © 2007 by Christopher Lovelock and Jochen Wirtz Services Marketing 6/E Chapter 14 - 38
Improving Service Productivity:(2) Customer-driven Strategies
• Change timing of customer demando By shifting demand away from peaks, managers can make better use
of firm’s productive assets and provide better service • Involve customers more in production
o Get customers to self-serveo Encourage customers to obtain information and buy from firm’s
corporate websites • Ask customers to use third parties
o Delegate delivery of supplementary service elements to intermediary organizations

Backstage and Front-stage Productivity Changes: Implications for Customers
• Backstage improvements can ripple to front and affect customerso Keep abreast of proposed backstage changes, not only to identify
such ripples but also to prepare customers for them For example: New printing peripherals may affect appearance of bank
statements• Front-stage productivity enhancements are especially visible in high
contact serviceso Some improvements only require passive acceptance, while others
require customers to change behavioro Must consider impacts on customers and address customer
resistance to changeso Better to conduct market research first if changes are substantial
• See Service Perspectives 14.1: Managing Customers’ Reluctance to Change* (p. 439)

A Caution on Cost Reduction Strategies
• In absence of new technology, most attempts to improve service productivity seek to eliminate waste and reduce labor costs
• Workers who try to do several things at once may perform each task poorly
• Excessive pressure breeds discontent and frustration among customer contact personnel, who are caught between:o Meeting customer needso Achieving management's productivity goals
• Better to search for service process redesign opportunities that lead too Improvements in productivityo Simultaneous improvement in service qualityo See Service Perspectives 14.2: Biometrics
