The Product Process Matrix

The document describes two matrices: the Product-Process Matrix and the Service-Process Matrix. The Service-Process Matrix classifies services based on their degree of customization and labor intensity. Services that are highly customized and labor intensive, such as those provided by doctors, are considered "Professional Services". Services with less customization and labor intensity but still attentive to individuals, such as schools and hospitals, are "Service Shops". Mass services like retail and banking offer standard services with less interaction. The least customized and labor intensive services, similar to manufactured goods, are processed as "Service Factories" like airlines and utilities.
