Performance potential (economy)
In the economy, performance potential is the ability to create specific material and services for a company . This can include the provision of different variants of a product (e.g. different sizes or equipment) as well as the ability to change offers (the possibility of offering new services within a short period of time).
Elements of performance potential
The elements of the performance potential can be characterized as follows:
- Service : Result of the production process for material goods and / or services
- Performance potential: totality of possible performances
- Main service : Primary service to achieve the sales process
- Preliminary services : Necessary services for the realization of the main service (readiness to deliver, quality control, customer care and advice, structuring of conditions, information, etc.)
- Additional services : Services to create usability (assembly, training, delivery, etc.)
- Ancillary services : Increase in usability (in the narrower sense: goodwill services such as "free delivery"; in the broader sense: additions such as the cookbook for the stove)
- Follow-up services : Maintaining operational capability (maintenance, repair, provision of spare parts)
- Special services : These are not directly related to the main service (e.g. kindergarten in a department store)
Note :: Additional services, fringe services, follow-up services and special services are also referred to as secondary services.
