Service Management - Benefits

Benefits

The main drivers for a company to establish or optimize its service management practices are varied:

  • High service costs can be reduced, i.e. by integrating the service and products supply chain.
  • Inventory levels of service parts can be reduced and therefore reduce total inventory costs.
  • Customer service or parts/service quality can be optimized.
  • Increasing service revenue.
  • Reduce obsolescence costs of service parts through improved forecasting.
  • Improve customer satisfaction levels.
  • Reduce expediting costs - with optimized service parts inventory, there is no need to rush orders to customers.
  • Minimize technician visits - if they have the right part in hand, they can fix the problem on the first visit.

Famous quotes containing the word benefits:

    Unfortunately, we cannot rely solely on employers seeing that it is in their self-interest to change the workplace. Since the benefits of family-friendly policies are long-term, they may not be immediately visible or quantifiable; companies tend to look for success in the bottom line. On a deeper level, we are asking those in power to change the rules by which they themselves succeeded and with which they identify.
    Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)

    While greedy good-doers, beneficent beasts of prey,
    Swarm over their lives enforcing benefits ...
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Through all opposition the personal benefits of the reform [dress] [bracketed word in original] have compensated; but had it been mainly sacrifice, the thought of working for the amelioration of women and the elevation of humanity would still have been the beacon-star guiding me on amid all discouragements.
    Susan Pecker Fowler (1823–1911)
