Solution:

Service Design

Service is an act and service delivery system focuses on facilities, processes and skills.

Many services are bundled with products, like oil change would require you to pay for the oil canister as well. A good service design involves 
 The physical resources needed which are somewhat Explicit Services
 The goods that are purchased or consumed by the customer which are the services that we call the implicit services.
Operations Manager should be aware of the fact that service is something that is done to or for a customer and service delivery system are the required facilities, processes, and skills needed to provide a service, also the words used are product bundle and service package. We should know that the product bundle is the combination of goods and services provided to a customer and service package is the
physical resources needed to perform the service.

Good Service Spectrum

Operations Managers often end up answering whether a certain activity falls under product manufacturing or service development. The figure below tries to capture the concept of the whole spectrum/band of Goods and Services. The spectrum or band has on Y axis the control on goods and on X axis the control on services

Characteristics of Well Designed Service Systems
A well designed service system should be consistent with the organization’s vision as well as mission. It should be user friendly, robust, easy to sustain, cost effective and should bring value to customers. A good and well design should create an effective linkage between back operations and front operations. It should aim for a single unifying theme. It should ensure reliability and high quality. An operations manager often faces challenge of a poor service design. The reasons of a poor service design include variable requirements, difficult to describe requirements, high volume of customer contact. These challenges can be overcome easily with the aid of defining a standardized requirement that would be addressed by the service, make simpler requirements and handle only limited number of customers at each service station or outlet.

As a quality control manager in a restaurant how would you maintain quality in
producing and serving the food to the customers?


Solution:
At the restaurant we are providing a product, but with that product we are also offering the intangible "product" of cooking procedures, table service, and a nice table to eat at. Since the primary source of your income comes from the ability to cook and serve good delicious and quality food, So we are running a service business.


Being a quality control manager I must keep in view that:


A service is a customer encounter. A popular managerial view is that the Quality Function should be deployed at the source or at the design stage. Two common answers being that it is the voice of the customer (which always sets a standard for the service organization to follow) and the second one being that it should be in the form of a house of quality.


I will implement the following quality control measures:
 Managing the Presentation


“Jo dikhta ha wo bikta ha”


Presentation of a restaurant is a key factor in restaurant management. I will keep my presentation very efficient.


 Staff Training
Human resources are the fundamental assets of an organization, while in a service business the employees must be very well trained and committed. So I will equip them with the best training to serve the customers at the best level of comfort and satisfaction.


 Quality and Customer Satisfaction Assurance
As the quality assurance is my first obligation I will ensure the quality by adopting the new technology in my cooking and serving processes like introducing latest electronic oven that preserves nutrition of food.


 Testing (Feedback)
Testing is a most important quality measure to ensure quality in our business. I will use my own observations, customers’ feedback and employees’ feedbacks.
