Description / Abstract:
General
This part of ISO/IEC 20000 is a service management system (SMS)
standard. It specifies requirements for the service provider to
plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and
improve an SMS. The requirements include the design, transition,
delivery and improvement of services to fulfil service
requirements. This part of ISO/IEC 20000 can be used by:
a) an organization seeking services from service providers and
requiring assurance that their service requirements will be
fulfilled;
b) an organization that requires a consistent approach by all
its service providers, including those in a supply chain;
c) a service provider that intends to demonstrate its capability
for the design, transition, delivery and improvement of services
that fulfil service requirements;
d) a service provider to monitor, measure and review its service
management processes and services;
e) a service provider to improve the design, transition and
delivery of services through effective implementation and operation
of an SMS;
f) an assessor or auditor as the criteria for a conformity
assessment of a service provider's SMS to the requirements in this
part of ISO/IEC 20000.
Figure 2 i l lustrates an SMS, including the service management
processes. The service management processes and the relationships
between the processes can be implemented in different ways by
different service providers. The nature of the relationship between
a service provider and the customer will influence how the service
management processes are implemented.
