In order to manage services and deliver on-site services, there are three types of contrasting approaches which include product line approach, self-service approach, and the personal attention approach. Cars are a way of life these days without them our way of life cannot exist. The main focal point in this industry is the result.

All are a part of the manufacturing of cars. Process Design Matrix Self-service Approach The self-service approach is more consumers driven. The efficiency of this service process can be enhanced E-tickets, Automatic teller machines, company websites which these are just some of the approaches that shift the burden to the consumer (Larson & Gray, 2006). This design approach will also be supportive of the food company, in terms of offering good quality of products to the customers as well as reducing time of service delivery (Chase, 2006). For the reason, due to self-service approach the company will be able to focus on the delivery of effective and efficient services in a less period.
