Question | Answer |
---|---|
the design of a manufactured good focus on | Physical Characteristics -- Dimensions, materials, color, and so on |
L(x)= k(x-T)^2 L(x) is the monetary value of the loss associated with deviating from the target, T; x is the actual value of the dimension K is a constant that translates the deviation into dollars | Taguchi Loss Function |
the probability that a manufactured good, piece of equipment, or system performs its intended function for a stated period of time under specified operating conditions. *Value between 0 and 1 | Reliability |
Rs=(p1)(p2)(p3)...(pn) | Reliability of a series system |
Rp=1-(1-p1)(1-p2)(1-p3)....(1-9n) | Reliability of a parallel system |
the explicit consideration of environmental concerns during the design of goods, services, and processes and includes such practices as designing for recycling and disassembly. | Design for Environment (DfE) |
-Facility location & Layout -The Servicescape -Process & Job design -Technology and information support systems -Organizational Structure | service delivery system design |
the activity of developing an efficient sequence of activities to satisfy internal and external customer requirements | Service process design |
focuses on the interaction, directly or indirectly between the service providers and the customers. | Service encounter design |
The physical or virtual presence of the customer in the service delivery system during a service experience. * Measured by the percentage of time the customer must be in the system relative to the total time it takes to provide the service. | Customer Contact |
Systems high in customer contact | high-contact systems |
Systems low in customer contact | low-contact systems |
Measurable performance levels or expectations that define the quality of customer contact with representatives of an organization ex. answering a telephone within two rings | Customer-contact Requirements |

All of the Physical evidence a customer might use to form an impression. Provides the behavioral setting where service encounters take place. *Standardization enhances efficiency, especially for multiple site organizations. | Servicescape |
Examples of Lean Servicescape Environments: | Ticketron outlets, FedEx drop-off kiosks |
Examples of Elaborate Servicescape Environments: | Hospitals, airports, and universities. |
For an efficient Service Process Design, develop procedures to ensure that: | a) Things are done right the first time. b) Interactions between customers and service providers are simple and quick. c) Human error is avoided. |
Principle Elements of Service Encounter Design: | a) Customer contact behavior and skills. b) Service provider selection, development, and empowerment. c) Recognition and reward. d) Service recovery and guarantees. |
An approach to guide the design, creation, and marketing of goods and services by integrating the voice of all customer into all decisions. | Quality Function Deployment (QFD) |
Customer requirements, as expressed in the customer's own words. | Voice of the customer |
The process of trying to simplify designs to reduce complexity and costs and thus improve productivity, quality, flexibility, and customer satisfaction. | Product Simplification |
