These two examples highlight the importance of the originator s ability to service the receivables pool effectively and, as such, avoid a rapid deterioration in the performance of the collateral. An originator that follows strict credit underwriting procedures and has experienced staff servicing accounts that enter a state of delinquency...

The principal objective of technical service in the chemical industry is to provide timely and professional information and support to downstream customers regarding chemical products and thek uses. It is neither cost-effective nor necessary for a consumer of chemical products to develop a staff of speciahsts having detailed expertise in all aspects of chemical raw materials and thek uses, particularly in a time of increa singly complex and rapidly technologically driven economies. Rather, this variety of expertise is provided in the chemical marketplace by technical service professionals whose knowledge and skills are made available by chemical products suppHers. As such, successful chemical companies provide technical service as a critical element of thek offerings to the marketplace making use of this aspect of the value chain to enhance thek competitiveness. 

Many firms tend to staff their technical service efforts with personnel that have experience solely in the particular business involved. It is often of value to consider individuals having experience in related industries, both to provide a different set of skills and to provide a different perspective than that of in-house experts. This is particularly important in the specialty chemicals arena, where formulations experience is generally of paramount importance. This variety of knowledge is often largely experiential, as much of the treatment and behaviors of formulations in the chemical industry are empirical or experience-based rather than quantitatively understood. It is therefore extremely difficult to train personnel ia dealing with the often nebulous aspects of formulations technology. 

A critical but often overlooked aspect of the technical service function is the value of relationships that develop between more senior members of the technical service staff and their coUeagues at customer sites. Professional relationships provide value both to suppHer and customer by virtue of the tmst and respect generated in a successhil technical service interaction, analogous to the types of mutuaUy valuable relationships that can develop between suppHer sales personnel and a customer s purchasing personnel. A more efficient process of gathering and dispersing new and usehil technical information can result from these relationships, because the persons involved work in different environments and are exposed in the course of their work to different external sources of information. 

We all have needs, requirements, wants, and expectations. Needs are essential for life, to maintain certain standards, or essential for products and services, to fulfill the purpose for which they have been acquired. Requirements are what we request of others and may encompass our needs but often we don t fully realize what we need until after we have made our request. For example, now that we own a mobile phone we discover we really need hands-free operation when using the phone while driving a vehicle. Hence our requirements at the moment of sale may or may not express all our needs. Our requirements may include wants - what we would like to have but do not need nice to have but not essential. Expectations are implied needs or requirements. They have not been requested because we take them for granted - we regard them to be understood within our particular society as the accepted norm. They may be things to which we are accustomed, based on fashion, style, trends, or previous experience. Hence one expects sales staff to be polite and courteous, electronic products to be safe and reliable, policemen to be honest, etc.

H = History if a plant has used material successfully for many years, and the staff members know its strengths and limitations, how to weld it, etc., hesitate before making a change. For example, a fiberglass-reinforced plastic had given excellent service for many years when another composite from the same company, with the same name but a different number, was used instead, it failed overnight.
