The present setup and objectives of stakeholders are explained and design characteristics such as volume, variety, variation, and visibility, as well as performance objectives in quality, speed, dependability, flexibility, and costs are discussed. Regarding the strategy performance objectives, a negotiation between the different targets is deemed most promising, as samples show. Particularly the application of different lean principles helps improving the process, although their use for a service process requires some interpretation.
