Owners of a local restaurant are concerned about their ability to provide quality service as they continue to grow and attract more customers. They have collected data from Friday and Saturday nights, their busiest times of the week. During these time periods about 75 customers arrive per hour for service. Given the number of tables and chairs, and the typical time it takes to serve a customer, the owners estimate they can serve on average about 100 customers per hour. During these nights, are they in the zone of service, the critical zone, or the zone of nonservice?

- Explain the Dimensions of Customer Contact in Service Processes?arrow_forwardDiscuss the actions companies can implement to minimize the potential negative impact of service variability on the delivery of customer service.arrow_forwardIn a car manufacturing company, an automated painting process has been introduced, and the quality assurance team suspects there might be issues that require investigation. The team decides to conduct a root cause analysis to identify potential problems. Through the root cause analysis and further investigation, it appears that the drying time of the paint in minutes is affecting the overall quality of the finish. The aspect they need to examine is the variation in drying time across different colours of paint. Considering the ongoing concerns in the painting process, the team chooses to collect a sample of six drying time measurements every 20 minutes from various colours of paint. The recorded drying time values for a day's production are presented in Table 1. A total of 10 sets of measurements, each consisting of six drying time values in minutes, have been collected. Each time a set of measurements is taken, the individual drying time values are recorded. Table 1: Drying Time…arrow_forward
