Service Value
What is driving the service cost and benefit?
Service Value combines costs and benefits to evaluate the value of the customer relationship for better performance management.
Quantifying customer risk issues and resolution efforts provides the cost overview. You can quantify some issues, such as cost per call; while others, such as late deliveries, can be categorized through a service level index. You also need to categorize the benefits, using a lifetime revenue metric or strategic value index based on expected revenue.
With this decision area, you can set more accurate priorities for use of resources. Poor service performance in simple channels may require more investment in process automation and improved efficiency. While performance issues in complex channels point to increasing investment in skills, expertise, and decision-making support.
With the Service Value decision area, you can set planning goals and scorecarding metrics for these performance management elements:
- Lifetime profit ($)
- Service cost (%)
- Service effectiveness index
- Claims (# and $)
- Customer retention and service cost ($)
- Customer visits
Most importantly, you can analyze these goals and metrics by a number of dimensions to find the hidden gems behind your performance:
- Fiscal month / year
- Customer and Industry
- Carrier / distributor
- Lead time and on-time range
- Brand and product line
- Location
