Assignment B
Service management in the manufacturing context, is integrated into supply chain
management as the intersection between the actual sales and the customer point of
view. The aim of high performance service management is to optimize the service-
intensive supply chains, which are usually more complex than the typical finished-
goods supply chain. Most service-intensive supply chains require larger inventories
and tighter integration with field service and third parties. They also must
accommodate inconsistent and uncertain demand by establishing more advanced
information and product flows. Moreover, all processes must be coordinated across
numerous service locations with large numbers of parts and multiple levels in the
supply chain.
