dan weet je wat je kunt verwachten dus er is een kleiner gap tussen verwachting en
werkelijkheid, vaak.

Service Framework 2
What or who is the direct recipient of the service
- People processing
● Involvement customer
● Investment in time and effort
● Process/output -> Advantages
● Non-financial costs (time, mentally/physically, fear/pain)
● Public transport, health service, sports club.
● De customer stopt energie in het proces, de energie die erin wordt gestopt heeft
invloed op de evaluatie. Dus het gaat niet alleen om de output.
- Possession processing
● Separate consumption/production
● Involvement customer
● Freight transport, repair service, storage, cleaning service
● De customer hoeft niets te doen in het proces. Simpeler dan people processing.
Minder afhankelijk van het proces of dienstverlener.
- Mental stimulus process
● Thoughts/memory/attitudes
● Involvement customer
● Active vs. passive presence
● Information transformation
● Education services, festival
● Je moet actief aanwezig zijn om de dienst te gebruiken. Al slaap je tijdens de
colleges dan gebruik je de dienst niet. Bij people processing kun je wel slapen,
tijdens de trein.
-Information processing
●Tangibility
●Involvement customer
○ Habits + tradition not operational process
Accountants, research, consultancy, lawyer.
Moeilijk om een persoonlijke brand te creëren omdat er geen persoonlijk contact
