5. TOTAL SERVICE MANAGEMENT
• Definition : The aggregation and consolidation of all
relevant service-level data in real-time into a single
system, which can then process and distribute this
information to human operators and other systems is known
as Total service Management.
• Measuring service levels across the organisation is a business
process that requires processes, organisational structures and
specific applications.
6. OUTCOMES OF TSM
• Tidiness and cleanliness
• Shorter throughput times
• Space savings
• Reduced costs
• More transparency
• High material availability
• Short search and find times
• High value contribution, less waste
• Motivation and higher staff satisfaction

33. LEVELS OF SERVICE MANAGEMENT
• Total service level management provides the most efficient
way
– to monitor service agreements (SLAs) and
– to manage service objectives (SLOs), and enables more responsive
service provision.
• SLAs are contractual commitments between the providers and
customers.
• SLOs are generalised service levels across a set of customers.
34. • Total service management automates the process of
implementing, measuring, computing and reporting on SLAs
and SLOs, both in real-time and historically.
• Ensuring high service levels of service management helps
reduce time, maintain margins.
• Sources for service information vary widely and include
applications, servers and network equipment, as well as other
operational support applications such as trouble ticketing, order
handling and fault and performance management.
