A ride at an amusement park is an example of a service operation where there is direct contact between the customer and server, but little variation in the service process-neither the customer nor server has much discretion in how the service will be provided.

Four regional less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers handle shipments traveling from Lexington, Kentucky, to Springfield, Illinois. All four companies say that their normalservice time to deliver these shipments is two business days. The four carriers competewith each other on the basis of price and service quality rating, as shown in the following table.
