We believe that the global economy has passed a tipping point in the transition from an industrial, good-centred to an innovation, service-centred logic. Dominant logic and innovative technologies, methods and concepts evolve in a particular way to form something new.”

“Africa needs to improve its competitive position in order to penetrate global markets, its own national markets being too small to constitute a solid basis for sustainable growth and poverty reduction ”
Peter Watson

The South African Skills Paradox
South Africa has large numbers of unemployed people (Estimate 25%) yet it also suffers from a skills shortage at the same time –
The services economy requires multi-skilled people who can integrate technology & business in developing innovative
product & service business solutions for clients, with due regard to the human socio-cultural operational factors involved
![Page 25: 1 UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Graduate School of Technology Management SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: A DUAL SA ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE Richard Weeks.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec49/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

THE NEW SOUTH AFRICAN DUAL SERVICES & MANUFACTURING ECONOMIC FRONTIER
If the services sector is the largest and the fastest growing sector of
the global economy South Africa will need to capture a larger share
of the action within this highly competitive sector of the economy,
if it is to turn the negative trade balance around
In a Dual Economy the focus is on an innovative product/services
bundle or offering to gain a competitive advantage in the
marketplace
This by implication, from a systems engineering perspective, entails
the need to innovatively integrate the manufacturing and services
value chains at an operational level – particularly as it relates to
front and back stage operational and support systems

Trevor Manual – SA Minister of Finance (SA Reality):
“The knowledge base of the population, the technology that workers are able to use, the systems around which
production is organised, the innovation potential of a workforce and the means of communication between agents
in the economy are all key factors that drive long run economic growth”
“the world economy is far more skills intensive today”
YET
“South Africa faces an unprecedented shortage of skills. While we have about four million unemployed people we have
about a million vacancies”

Systems engineering perspective
Systems engineering in a dual services & manufacturing economic context provides a framework for the integration of processes, tools, technology and human resources in the planning, development, implementation and management of innovative services and products that meet client’s needs.
It is defined by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSA) as:
an engineering discipline whose responsibility is creating and executing an interdisciplinary process to ensure that the customer and stakeholder's needs are satisfied in a high quality, trustworthy, cost efficient and schedule compliant manner throughout a system's entire life cycle”
![Page 30: 1 UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Graduate School of Technology Management SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: A DUAL SA ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE Richard Weeks.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec49/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Clarity as to the concept and nature of services
Provider An entity (person or institution) that makes preparations to meet a need An entity that serves
Client An entity (person, business, or institution) that engages the service of another An entity being served
Some general relationship characteristics are that the client
Participates in the service process (also known as the service engagement) Co-produces the value The quality of service delivered depends on customers preferences, requirements, expectations and perception of the services encounter (Moment of truth)

36
Clarity as to the concept and nature of services Simultaneity: services created & consumed simultaneously - cannot be stored,
It eliminates opportunity for quality-control intervention before delivery. Capacity management critical to meet demand or queuing ensues.
Perishability: cannot establish a services inventory as backup, leads to a loss of opportunity of idle capacity and a need to match supply with demand – an airline seat no filled or a dentist appoint not kept results in a revenue loss.
Intangibility: services are concepts and ideas in contrast to products as things. Difficult for client to evaluate beforehand what is being offered and what they will get for their money. Creative advertising, no patent protection, importance of reputation assume relevance.
Heterogeneity: customer involvement and the human element in services delivery process results in variability. Interaction involved and perceptions of the interaction in relation to prier expectations in terms thereof is subjective in nature.
Customer Participation in the Service Process: attention to facility design and the services encounter. Issues of consideration: opportunities for co-production, concern for customer and employee behavior.
Non-Ownership: unlike goods there is not a transfer of ownership - what are clients buying? Gaining access to a resource for a period of time. Sharing resources between clients presents management challenges i.e. queuing.

38
Implications of Rental/Usage Paradigm
Creates the option of renting a good upon demand rather than purchase. Service often involves selling slices of larger physical entities. Labor and expertise are renewable resources. Time plays a central role in most services. Service pricing should vary with time and availability.
Question: Can services in general be described as customers sharing resources?

The Services Product bundle or offering Process of value enhancement in services and manufacturing systems
integration – client & provider customisation of product and associated services, design, testing manufacturing, delivery, after sales service, training in use of product, maintenance, phasing out of product taking environmental considerations into account.
Products and services in nature are fundamentally very different and this in itself presents inherent challenges in defining the bundle offered and purchased.
Innovation and creativity assumes specific relevance in product and services design and delivery, as well as their integration to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
The inherent human interaction aspects involved in services introduces emotions, feelings, perceptions, values, beliefs and similar difficult considerations that need to be taken into consideration.
Introduction of front stage client facing and backstage institutional & support systems and activities that need to be integrate
Services in support of goods has become a means of differentiating a firm’s products.

Service VisionService Delivery System
What are important features of the service delivery system including: role of people, technology, equipment, layout, procedures?
What capacity does it provide, normally, at peak levels?
To what extent does it, help insure quality standards, differentiate the service from competition, provide barriers to entry by competitors?
![Page 50: 1 UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Graduate School of Technology Management SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: A DUAL SA ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE Richard Weeks.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec49/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Services Design considerations
Element Considerations
Delivery system What does the customer see, where does production occur? In B2B can we seamlessly move information from one processing point to the next?
Facilities design Size, layout, how does it feel? Important in B2C – if people are uncomfortable they probably won’t come back.
Capacity planning Queues and demand. Typically we don’t plan for full capacity which would result in waste. What do we do with excess capacity? What do we do with customers when we have to make them wait?
Service encounter Employee training and empowerment. The culture & climate people experience influences their behaviour which in turn affects customer relationships.
Quality Service quality is subjective client assessment that relates client’s service expectation to perceived services rendered by the provider
Managing capacity and demand
Adjusting your plans to accommodate customer requirements, or is there a way to drive demand to map to your ability to deliver (think of happy hour).
Information What to collect, keep, for competitive advantage. At issue here is privacy and who really ‘owns’ the data? Can you think of any service that doesn’t depend on information?
![Page 51: 1 UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Graduate School of Technology Management SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: A DUAL SA ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE Richard Weeks.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec49/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Typical Customer Criteria used in selecting a service provider
• Availability (24 hour ATM)• Convenience (Site location)• Dependability (On-time performance)• Personalization (Know customer’s name)• Price (Quality surrogate) • Quality (Perceptions important)• Reputation (Word-of-mouth)• Safety (Customer well-being)• Speed (Avoid excessive waiting)
The services economy is a highly competitive business environment and how the institution hopes to gain an advantage needs to be taken into consideration in the service design i.e. availability, quality etc

Managing Waiting Lines
• “Americans hate to wait. So business is trying a trick or two to make lines seem shorter…” The New York Times, September 25, 1988
• “An Englishman, even when he is by himself, will form an orderly queue of one…” George Mikes, “How to be an Alien”
• “In the Soviet Union, waiting lines were used as a rationing device…” Hedrick Smith, “The Russians”
• “In South Africa it is a way of life” Richard Weeks
![Page 64: 1 UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Graduate School of Technology Management SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: A DUAL SA ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE Richard Weeks.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec49/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Where the Time Goes
In a life time, the average person will spend:
SIX MONTHS Waiting at stoplights
EIGHT MONTHS Opening junk mail
ONE YEAR Looking for misplaced 0bjects TWO YEARS Reading E-mail FOUR YEARS Doing housework FIVE YEARS Waiting in line SIX YEARS Eating

Laws of Service
• Maister’s First Law:Customers compare expectations with perceptions.
• Maister’s Second Law:Is hard to play catch-up ball.
• Skinner’s Law:The other line always moves faster.
• Jenkin’s Corollary:However, when you switch to another other line, the line you left moves faster.
![Page 66: 1 UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Graduate School of Technology Management SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: A DUAL SA ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE Richard Weeks.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec49/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Remember Me
I am the person who goes into a restaurant, sits down, and patiently waits while the wait-staff does everything but take my order.
I am the person that waits in line for the clerk to finish chatting with his buddy.
I am the one who never comes back and it amuses me to see money spent to get me back.
I was there in the first place, all you had to do was show me some courtesy and service.
The Customer
![Page 67: 1 UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Graduate School of Technology Management SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: A DUAL SA ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE Richard Weeks.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec49/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
67
Psychology of Waiting
• That Old Empty Feeling: Unoccupied time goes slowly
• A Foot in the Door: Pre-service waits seem longer that in-service waits
• The Light at the End of the Tunnel: Reduce anxiety with attention
• Excuse Me, But I Was First: Social justice with FCFS queue discipline
• They Also Serve, Who Sit and Wait: Avoids idle service capacity
![Page 68: 1 UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Graduate School of Technology Management SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: A DUAL SA ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE Richard Weeks.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec49/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
68
Approaches to Controlling Customer Waiting
• Animate: Disneyland distractions, elevator mirror, recorded music
• Discriminate: Avis frequent renter treatment (out of sight)
• Automate: Use computer scripts to address 75% of questions
• Obfuscate: Disneyland staged waits (e.g. House of Horrors)

The Customer
Expectations and Attitudes Economizing customer – wants value for money, time & effort Ethical customer - social & environmental conscious Personalizing customer – wants personal customized friendly attention Convenience customer – hassle free service without red tape
Customer as Coproducer Scripts defined by context determine service encounter behaviour e.g.
Self-service in a cafeteria, check-out encounters at a store etc. Use of technology e.g. automation of services such as ATMs
View of service quality subjective

75
The Service Organisation (Aspects influencing services encounter)
The service organisation establishes the environment for the service encounter – the organisational culture serves as a behavioural determinant – physical surroundings (Servicescape) inherently influence the atmosphere in which encounter takes place.
Case in point: McDonalds – people know what is expected and what they will get – consistency in services rendered – Staff trained to comply.
![Page 76: 1 UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Graduate School of Technology Management SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: A DUAL SA ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE Richard Weeks.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec49/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
76
Contact Personnel
Selection (getting staff with correct personality attributes – e.g. flexibility, tolerance for ambiguity, empathy for clients etc.) Abstract Questioning – open ended interviews allows them to reveal their
views and feelings Situational Vignette – questions relating to specific situations that may be
encountered in dealing with clients – “can they think on their feet” Role Playing – simulated situations.
Training – skills to perform the service tasks Unrealistic customer expectations - client expectations that cannot be
delivered by the system e.g. passengers wanting to take oversized luggage onto an aircraft – demands that go against company policies, unexcitable treatment of employees, breaking social norms
Unexpected service failure – places burden on contact staff who need to show innovation in dealing with situations that may arise so they do not get worse
Ethics – standards cannot be compromised in service encounters by contact staff even if it means losing a client in the process as it can have longer term and far reaching implications on future serve encounters with clients.
