Purpose: This paper proposes a structured approach based on Quality Function Deployment (QFD) for service development in the banking industry. Methods: SERVQUAL is modified and adopted as a tool to understand customer requirements for the QFD. Fuzzy theory is used to resolve the subjectivity and ambiguity of customer requirements and satisfaction. This research also uses the importance- satisfaction model to construct an additional House of Quality (HOQ). A pair of houses of quality provides a confluence of results to avoid a risk of depending solely on the results of a single HOQ. Results: A case study is introduced with three domestic banks. Conclusion: The proposed approach effectively addresses a service development problem.

Purpose Social media such as social network services, online forums, and customer reviews have produced a plethora amount of information online. Yet, the information deluge has created both opportunities and challenges at the same time. This research particularly focuses on the challenges in order to discover and track the service defects over time derived by mining publicly available online customer reviews. Design/methodology/approach Synthesizing the streams of research from text analytics, we apply two stages of methods of sentiment analysis and structural topic model incorporating meta-information buried in review texts into the topics. Findings As a result, our study reveals that the research framework effectively leverages textual information to detect, prioritize, and categorize service defects by considering the moving trend over time. Our approach also highlights several implications theoretically and practically of how methods in computational linguistics can offer enriched insights by leveraging the online medium.

Purpose: This study was done to evaluate the operating status of community-based home health center for revitalization of the centers. Method: In this study performance data including organization plan and service utilization plan were evaluated according process theory. Target of evaluation was the community-based home health care center. Results: The vulnerable part of the organization was the information system and financial resources. The home health center introduced PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) in 2005, however home health care nurses did not make full use of it. This service received full support from Seoul city and local government and there were no other sources of income. The vulnerable part of service utilization was service expansion and standardization due to vulnerability of organizational aspects. Conclusions: The home health care center provides high quality services to underprivileged people. In the future, these services should be provided with equity for continuous health care for this population.

서비스는 이질성, 생산과 소비의 비분리성, 개별성, 즉흥성, 소멸성 등의 속성 때문에 품질관리가 어렵고, 정량적인 관리가 쉽지 않던 연구 분야였지만, 최근 들어 서비스품질에 관한 연구는 과학적인 접근방법들을 통해 서비스사이언스로 거듭나고 있다. 서비스 분야 연구에 생산운영의 개념이 적용되면서 서비스전달시스템 분석과 같이 서비스 과정을 도식화하여 전체 흐름을 파악하여 실수 가능 위치를 발견하여 관리하는 서비스과정에 대한 품질관리가 체계적으로 진행되고 있음을 보여주는 사례들이 발견되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 서비스 생산운영에 대한 개념들 특히 서비스 생산시스템(공정관리)을 설명하고, 소비재를 생산하는 제조기업들의 서비스 센터를 중심으로 서비스 생산프로세스를 분석한 연구 사례를 소개함으로써 서비스 분야에서도 공정관리가 가능함을 서비스 실무자들에게 소개하고자 한다.

This article is to analyze the service efficiency of public sector using Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA). We tried to measure the public service quality and overall satisfaction by using several DEA models, degree of combination and top2box which is a little bit different methodology from traditional ones. We used CCR, Super-efficiency and Slack based measure(SBM) model in DEA to measure public service efficiency of the 16 public institutions(7 City Halls and 9 Provincial offices). Since the traditional method based on the measurement model(CCR, BCC) has the fundamental problems without taking account of the existence of slacks inputs and outputs in several efficient units, we suggest to measure the exact amount of efficiency and inefficiency of the public sector and rank analysis many efficient units exactly through the slacks-based measure model(SBM)

In the postal delivery service, both the standardization of business process and the workload measurement is very important part of saving the cost and improving the efficiency. However, these are not easy to apply to real situation because of the labor-intensive and diversification of delivery environment. In this study, we develop the methodology for the standardization of business process and workload measurement model of the postal delivery service. Firstly, we introduce the work factor analysis on the postal delivery process. Then, we propose the methodology workload measurement model based on diversification of delivery environment.

A key factor of competitiveness of a firm is technology innovation including product and process innovation. This paper explores the importance and performance of innovation in IT industry across manufacturing and service business. Using importance-performance analysis based on a survey of Korean manufacturing and service firms, we find the characteristics of innovation in IT under the context of industry difference. Out study indicate that Korean IT firms need to recognize the importance of technology innovation and enhance the performance in some areas. In future research, we will expand the boundary of innovation into non-technology innovation as well as service-specific innovation.

In this paper we aim to find out consumer behavior based on fish shares in their buying ingredients, path segmentation, product and service quality, customer satisfaction and then we try to analyze the impact of them on each consumer buying behavior. In this study, first, consumers, divided by general merchandise retail store and traditional fish retail store, these also divided by two groups that are with high spending group and low spending group, so totally we have four parts of consumer behavior segmentation market profiles. Second, we analysis the affect of each factor on consumer behavior. That is, we try to analysis the effect of product and service quality on customer satisfaction in four seafood market group. The results of this study are summarized as follows;

2014년 2월 정보통신 진흥 및 융합 활성화 등에 관한 특별법(ICT 특별법)이 시행되었고, 2014년 6월 의료법개정에 따른 원격의료서비스 시범사업이 가능해졌다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 병원을 방문하여 진료 후에 약 처방을 받던 일반적인 내시경 의료서비스와 병원 방문 없이 전화를 이용한 진료 및 처방과 함께 약을 배송해 주는 원격의료서비스를 의료서비스 제공자들을 대상으로 FGI(Focus Group Interview)를 통하여 비교하였다. 본 연구는 향후 보다 나은 내시경환자를 위한 원격의료서비스 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대한다.
