Abstract | The outsourcing of service processes presents several complex management challenges. Services typically have variability in both the pattern of customer arrivals and service times, which make capacity planning challenging. Workers also have discretion over the workflow, and therefore each worker can affect the workload passed to other parts of the system. When a service process is outsourced, this discretion may be in the hands of a vendor who then makes choices that influence the customer experience. A firm must decide upon the design of the process, which parts of the process to outsource, and how to contract with the vendor to overcome issues related to information asymmetry. This paper addresses these questions within the context of a two-level service process where the first level serves as a gatekeeper for experts in the second level. We integrate the results from several papers in the literature to give a comprehensive perspective on how to approach service outsourcing. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
