Leistungssysteme
(2016)
Die Gestaltung von Leistungssystemen ist ein zentraler Prozess des Managements industrieller Dienstleistungen, da die kundengerechte Entwicklung einer aus Sachgütern und Dienstleistungen bestehenden Kombination von Leistungsbestandteilen hohe methodische Anforderungen stellt. Um die erforderliche Stimmigkeit des Leistungssystems zu erreichen, werden im folgenden Kapitel zunächst die grundlegenden Charakteristika sowie Gestaltungsprinzipien von Leistungssystemen dargestellt. Um den Erfordernissen von Kunden sowie einer internen Konsistenz des Leistungssystems gleichermaßen gerecht zu werden, sind für die Gestaltung von Leistungssystemen Methoden der Leistungsprogrammplanung, der Modularisierung sowie der Konfiguration von Leistungen erforderlich. Diese werden ebenfalls dargestellt und erläutert. Das Kapitel wird durch die Darstellung eines Dienstleistungsbaukastens ergänzt.
Ressourcen sind die Grundlage eines jeden Wertschöpfungsprozesses. Aus einer strategischen Perspektive können nur schwer imitierbare und einzigartige Kernkompetenzen die Grundlage eines langfristigen und nachhaltigen Wettbewerbsvorteils begründen. Demzufolge sind Ressourcen so auszuwählen, verfügbar zu machen sowie zu kombinieren, dass entsprechende Kompetenzen und Kernkompetenzen entwickelt werden. Dies ist die Aufgabe des strategischen Ressourcenmanagements. Allerdings unterscheiden sich die Auswahl und der Einsatz von Ressourcen zwischen Sachgütern und Dienstleistungen erheblich. Während bei Sachgütern die verwendeten Rohstoffe und Materialien oder die Produktionsbedingungen wesentliche Grundlage für die Qualität des Endprodukts sind, stehen bei Entwicklung, Vermarktung und Erbringung von Dienstleistungen die Mitarbeiter wesentlich stärker im Mittelpunkt. Daher stellt das Human-Resource-Management (HRM) den zentralen Ansatz für das Ressourcenmanagement industrieller Dienstleister dar. Aufgabe des HRMs ist es, die Mitarbeiter für die Entwicklung, Vermarktung und Erbringung von industriellen Dienstleistungen zu befähigen.
Produzierende Unternehmen in Industrienationen sehen sich einem immer stärkeren internationalen Wettbewerb ausgesetzt. Eine der entscheidenden Strategien, um diesem Wandel zu begegnen, ist die Differenzierung über industrielle Dienstleistungen.
Im folgenden Kapitel werden zunächst die Begriffe der Dienstleistungen und der industriellen Dienstleistungen inhaltlich gefasst und definiert. Danach wird die zunehmende wirtschaftliche Bedeutung industrieller Dienstleistungen für die Wirtschaft und für produzierende Unternehmen an sich aufgezeigt. Das Konzept des Leistungssystems wird vorgestellt. Abschließend werden verschiedene Perspektiven des Managements industrieller Dienstleistungen vorgestellt.
Today, machine manufacturers generate a significant share of their revenues with the provision of services. At the same time, they are confronted with the challenge of adopting of Industrie 4.0.
One of the most important Industrie 4.0 concepts is the idea of the digital shadow, which contributes to the comprehensive structuring of different kinds of data from different data sources. It can be defined as the sufficiently precise, digital representation of reality in real-time.
Thus, it also functions as a database of the considered area of a company that can be used for numerous applications. It serves as a central platform for the aggregation and distribution of data. Thereby, it helps to open isolated data silos. A system architecture that enables extraction of data from various sources and the aggregation of that data is an important prerequisite for the digital shadow.
In addition, the merger of data from different sources requires a model of the part of the company to be mapped digitally. In this paper, we focus on maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services of machine manufacturers. The scope comprises the whole order processing of a service including the utilized resources and the obtained results.
MRO services and their single elements are mapped and structured using a case study research in a first step. Those elements provide a basis for designing the digital shadow. A second contribution of this paper is a data model for the digital shadow of MRO services that entails a comprehensive representation of that department.
The design of data-driven industrial services in the context of industry 4.0 represents a major challenge for industrial service providers and manufacturing companies for investment goods. Data-driven services require technological and strategic components that most companies have not build up yet and that differ from current configurations. That is why many companies lack a systematic approach and implementation competence for the use of data in the context of industrial services and therefore face the challenge of not being able to expand their market position in an ever-growing competition for data.
The present paper addresses this research deficit with the aim of describing strategic features and characteristics of data-driven industrial services by identifying the related crucial features and characteristics through a morphological approach. This will enable industrial service providers to improve strategic and operative management decisions in order to define a specific strategy and to configure data-driven services.
The importance of social networks and, in particular, enterprise social networks in business contexts is increasing significantly. Regarding the prerequisites for a successful implementation of an enterprise social network, exclusively providing the technical infrastructure is insufficient. A holistic view that considers and integrates different perspectives is crucial for success. This includes technological, organisational and human aspects as equally important parts of the network. This paper identifies prerequisites for a successful launch of enterprise social networks and groups them along these three dimensions.
Ziel des Beitrags ist es, aufzuzeigen, wie produzierende Unternehmen entlang der Customer-Journey systematisch kundenbezogene Daten erheben können. Nach einer Einleitung zur Motivation der Themenstellung, einer Begriffserläuterung und einer Vorstellung des Studiendesigns wird ein Referenzprozessmodell der Kundeninteraktionen produzierender Unternehmen gestaltet, darauf aufbauend ein Datenmodell des digitalen Schattens der Kundeninteraktionen abgeleitet und zuletzt ein Vorgehensmodell zur Implementierung des digitalen Schattens der Kundeninteraktionen präsentiert.
Manufacturing companies are constantly increasing their efforts in the subscription business, also known as product-as-a-service business, offering usage and outcome based solutions (value-in-use) instead of transactional services and products (value-in-exchange). Customers are becoming contractual subscribers of the solution in return for recurring, performance-related payments. To address arising, inevitable challenges like (1) reducing customer churn, (2) increasing usage intensity and outcome quality, (3) ensuring the adoption of product and software releases as well as (4) fostering customer loyalty, leading manufacturing companies are setting up a new organizational, customer-facing unit, called Customer Success Management (CSM). This unit has its origins in the software-as-a-service business, operating next to established entities like sales, key account management and customer service. Since there are currently no holistic models for an end-to-end description of CSM-tasks in the manufacturing industry, this paper contributes to a taskoriented reference model, using a grounded theory approach, examining both manufacturing and software companies. Containing a reference framework with 8 main tasks, 17 basic tasks and 76 elementary tasks, the reference model supports manufacturing companies in adapting and customizing a company-specific CSM concept.
Pricing for Smart-Product-Service-Systems in Subscription Business Models for Production Industries
(2021)
In the production industry, subscription business models have the potential to create long-term relationships where a supplier provides a continuous value-oriented service to a customer based on digitalisation. Monetising this increase in value through pricing represents a central challenge for suppliers in subscription business. Unlike the current dominant transactional business, the focus of pricing is on the value-in-use of the customer (e.g. on the increase in output for the customer). In this regard, there is so far no pricing approach for practice that allows the linking of the performance data of the customer with the periodically charged price. However, in subscription businesses, such an approach is required to create win-win situations for the customer and supplier through continuous performance improvement. Therefore, this paper develops a novel process model for pricing of smart-product-service-systems in subscription business for production industries. This process can serve as basis for suppliers of subscriptions in the production industry to align pricing with the created value-in-use. In the long term, this allows companies to systematically develop their pricing to monetise the potential of digitalisation.
Manufacturing companies (MFRs) are increasingly extending their
portfolios with services and data-driven services (DDS) to differentiate themselves from competitors, tap new revenue potential, and gain competitive advantages through digitization and the subsequently generated data. Nonetheless, DDS fail more often than traditional industrial services and products within the first year on the market. Particularly, companies are failing to sell DDS successfully and efficiently with their existing (multi-level) distribution structures. Surprisingly, there is a lack of scientific research addressing this issue. Since there are currently no holistic models for an end-to-end description of distribution-tasks for DDS in the manufacturing industry, this paper contributes to a task-oriented reference model for mapping interactions in the multi-level distribution management. Therefore, a case study research approach is used, to identify and describe the interactions in the multi-level distribution management of DDS, as well as to develop a regulatory framework for MFRs and their multi-level distribution management. This research uses the established theoretical framework of Service-Dominant-Logic to address the co-creation in multi-level distribution management of DDS. As a result, this paper identifies different interaction variants as well as the need for a new management function with 4 main and 14 basic tasks.
Geschäftsmodell-Innovation
(2017)
Der Wirtschaftsstandort Deutschland ist bislang vorrangig auf die Produktion von Gütern ausgerichtet: Kraftwagen und Kraftwagenteile, Maschinen, Datenverarbeitungsgeräte sowie elektronische und optische Erzeugnisse stellten wertmäßig die Hälfte der Gesamtausfuhren des Jahres 2013 dar. Die fortschreitende Globalisierung führt zu einer verstärkten internationalen Wettbewerbsintensität bei sich schneller ändernden Produkten und einem wachsendem Differenzierungsdruck. Industrielle Dienstleistungen stellen vor diesem Hintergrund eine Möglichkeit dar, die technische Leistungsfähigkeit von Produkten zu erweitern und zeitgleich die Abgrenzung und Differenzierung von Wettbewerbern auf internationalen Märkten zu realisieren. Produkte werden durch industrielle Dienstleistungen zu umfassenden und spezifischen Lösungen erweitert, die über die Kerneigenschaften der Produkte hinausgehen und Probleme der Nutzer und Kunden als integriertes System lösen. Sach- und Dienstleistungen werden nach Belz als Leistungssysteme beschrieben, die ausgewählte Kundenprobleme nicht als einzelnes Produkt oder einzelne Dienstleistung, sondern umfassend und wirtschaftlich als Kombination aus Leistungsbestandteilen lösen.
In order to achieve a holistic cost management approach, the maintenance and service costs should already be assessed during the development of machines and equipment. The required information in the company, like PLM, process and test data, are commonly not available or vague, especially in early development phases. This paper introduces a feasible method for an early assessment of maintenance and service costs during product development. In doing so, appropriate cost assessment methods are selected, based on the availability and quality of the existing information in the individual development phases. The evaluations of these methods are aggregated in a software tool, so that the respective cost information is displayed with a maximum, minimum and most probable value. The developed software tool was validated in cooperation with a new electric vehicle manufacturer.
Aus dem privaten Alltag sind Soziale Technologien nicht mehr wegzudenken, doch zunehmend kommen diese auch innerhalb von Unternehmen zum Einsatz. Insbesondere Business-Communities können dabei helfen, Mitarbeiter zu vernetzen, und bieten speziell bei wissensintensiven Aufgaben erhebliche Potenziale. Da sowohl der systematische Aufbau als auch die Koordination einer Business-Community mit zahlreichen Aufgabenfeldern verbunden ist, werden oftmals schwerwiegende Fehler im Management dieser Communities gemacht, wodurch Nutzenpotenziale ungenutzt bleiben. Auch mangelt es in der Praxis an geeigneten Erkenntnissen über eine erfolgreiche Steuerung solcher Business-Communities.
Um die Erfolgswirkungen konkreter Koordinationsmechanismen zu untersuchen, führte das FIR an der RWTH Aachen gemeinsam mit der IntraWorlds GmbH eine Studie unter Community-Managern durch. Dabei hat sich herausgestellt, dass die Steuerungsinstrumente unterschiedlich und mit divergierendem Erfolg eingesetzt werden können.
Ongoing digitalization and Industry 4.0 enable the development of new business models due to the increase in available data and digital connected products. A promising business model type for the machinery and plant engineering industry are subscription models, consisting of products and services offered in return for continuous payments. However, subscription-based business models are associated with extensive changes in the traditional machinery and plant engineering industry, in particular, for small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). Established concepts for the development of value propositions and business models neglect important aspects, such as the integrated development and optimization of products and services across the entire life cycle or the data infrastructure. This paper presents a concept for a methodology to support SMEs developing value propositions within subscription models. Therefore, the systematic identification of customer benefits, the determination and prioritization of subscription relevant functionalities as well as the design of product and service elements addressing those functionalities are the main aspects on which the focus is placed on. The result is a subscription value proposition canvas for SMEs to address the impact of subscription models on products and services.
More and more manufacturing companies are starting to transform the transaction-based business model into a customer value-based subscription business to monetize the potential of digitization in times of saturated markets. However, historically evolved, linear acquisition processes, focusing the transactionoriented product sales, prevent this development substantially. Elemental features of the subscription business such as recurring payments, short-term release cycles, data-driven learning, and a focus on customer success are not considered in this approach. Since existing transactional-driven acquisition approaches are not successfully applicable to the subscription business, a systematic approach to an acquisition cycle of the subscription business in the manufacturing industry is presented, aiming at a long-term participative business. Applying a grounded theory approach, a task-oriented model for themanufacturing industry was developed.
The model consisting of five main tasks and 14 basis tasks serves as best practice to support manufacturing companies in adapting or redesigning acquisition activities for their subscription business models.
As industrial service portfolios grow, many companies overlook the implications of their business operations: rising complexity and resulting complexity costs. One reason are nonexistent tools that help service managers to decide in planning phases with an adequate effort about the implications that variety and complexity decisions have on the complexity costs of their portfolio. This paper depicts the challenges service companies have to face in this context and presents a concept of a heuristic approach to evaluate the complexity costs for industrial services. The concept is being developed in strong cooperation with industrial partners.
For a considerable time, European companies in the capital goods industry experience stagnating growth in material goods markets. Moreover, increasing international competition forces European companies to improve their market position. In order to stay successful, an increasing number of companies adapt their businesses from manufacturing to service provider. Unfortunately, the number of companies who manage to turn their portfolio change into a competitive advantage is comparatively low. Therefore, this paper focuses on the development of a framework for the positioning as industrial services provider. Besides, it provides support for management in shaping the changes that occur with the transformation.
This paper presents a simulation approach for service production processes on the basis of which an optimal operating point for service systems can be identified. The approach specifically takes into account the characteristics of human behavior. The simulation is based on a system theory approach to the service delivery process. A specific use case of the simulation approach is presented in detail to illustrate how characteristic curves are deduced and an optimal operating point is obtained.
Pricing is one of the most important, but underestimated tools, to enhance a company's profitability. Especially value-based pricing has a high potential to reach higher levels of satisfaction because it equates the needs of providers and customers. Even though, it is a well-known price model and promises higher satisfaction, many companies struggle to implement it. Especially the manufacturing industry is characterized by cost-plus pricing and competition-based pricing. However, especially for digital products these pricing strategies are insufficient. Therefore, this paper aims at exploring the design fields for value-based pricing of digital products in the manufacturing industry. To achieve this, the basics of digital products and value-based pricing are explored. Furthermore, an expert workshop is conducted that follows a framework for value-based pricing consisting of four consecutive steps analysis, price strategy, pricing, and market launch to capture the design fields. This paper concludes with limitations, and practical and research implications.
Assets of integrated production systems, especially in the heavy industry, are facing high requirements in terms of reliability and availability. In case of component breakdown, the operating firm is confronted with high costs due to downtime and loss of production. Modern maintenance concepts in combination with advanced technologies can help to improve the plant availability and reduce the downtime costs caused by unplanned breakdowns. Against this background, the research institutes FIR and IMR from RWTH Aachen University, Germany, are collaborating within the research project “SiZu”. This project deals with the integration of condition monitoring system and real time simulation to assess the condition of components and to support failure cause analysis.
Technologiebasierte Leistungssysteme versetzen den Werkzeugbau am Hochlohnstandort Deutschland in Zukunft in die Lage, nachhaltige Wettbewerbsvorteile zu generieren. Dazu ist es allerdings erforderlich, nicht nur die Technologiebasis in Form von Transponder- und Sensortechnik in das Werkzeug zu integrieren, vielmehr ist es nötig, entsprechende neue Geschäftsmodelle für diese Leistungssysteme zu entwickeln. Außerdem ist sicherzustellen, dass die Geschäftsmodelle auf operativer Ebene auch mit der Technologie harmonieren und die gewonnenen Daten entsprechend in die Auftragsabwicklungsprozesse integriert werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt potenzielle neue Geschäftsmodelle für den Werkzeugbau vor und skizziert einen Ansatz zur operativen Integration der benötigten Informationen in die Geschäftsprozesse.
Der vorliegende Beitrag baut auf den Arbeiten eines Forschungsprojekts auf. Das Forschungsprojekt 'TecPro - Geschäftsmodelle für technologieunterstützte, produktionsnahe Dienstleistungen des Werkzeug- und Formenbaus' wird mit Mitteln des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) innerhalb des Rahmenkonzepts "Forschung für die Produktion von morgen" (Förderkennzeichen 02PG1095) gefördert und vom Projektträger Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Bereich Produktion und Fertigungstechnologien (PTKA-PFT), betreut.
In diesem Beitrag werden die aktuellen Aktivitäten im Forschungsprojekt „SiZu – Integration von Echtzeitsimulation und Zustandsüberwachung zur Bauteilprognose und Fehleranalyse für die Instandhaltung“ vorgestellt. Ziel des Projektes ist es, die bislang separat genutzten Funktionalitäten Condition-Monitoring und Echtzeitsimulationen in einem Analysewerkzeug (Condition- Analyser) für die Instandhaltung zusammenzuführen und damit Zustandsüberwachungssysteme um die Möglichkeit der Nutzung historischer Anlagendaten und Echtzeitsimulation zu erweitern. Neben der detaillierten Beschreibung der angestrebten Forschungsergebnisse und den daraus resultierenden Nutzungspotentialen für die Instandhaltung wird die zur Zielerreichung entwickelte Vorgehensweise vorgestellt und diskutiert.
In diesem Beitrag werden die Ergebnisse aus einer Studie in der Papierindustrie vorgestellt. Dabei zeigt sich eine deutliche Korrelation zwischen guten Ergebnissen in der Effektivität und Effizienz des Zuverlässigkeitsmanagements und dem Unternehmenserfolg. Der Unternehmenserfolg – im Sinne einer hohen Umsatzrendite – kann zwar nicht allein auf einen entscheidenden Einflussfaktor zurückgeführt werden, da der Umsatz durch eine Vielzahl von Faktoren bestimmt wird. Die durchgeführten Analysen und Interviews innerhalb der Studie deuten allerdings darauf hin, dass in der Tat das operative Anlagenmanagement einen maßgeblichen Erfolgsfaktor darstellt, sich „Reliability“ in der Prozessindustrie folglich auszahlt. Überdies konnte gezeigt werden, wie sich Methoden und Verhaltensweisen von Instandhaltung und Produktion auf die Zuverlässigkeit von Anlagen und die Effizienz deren Bewirtschaftung auswirken.
One of the major tasks of operations managers is to boost uptime while simultaneously keeping budget. To meet this challenge they discover reliability-based management as strategic factor to improve performance. But which parameters are the key to “reliability excellence” and drive a company’s performance? What are the relevant levers to pull in reliability-based management?
To answer these questions McKinsey & Company partnered with Aachen University to launch a global reliability survey in process industries. Objective of the initiative is to provide a statistically proven picture of key factors that drive maintenance and reliability excellence. Furthermore benchmarks and best practices concerning overall operational performance will be identified. The study is based on a questionnaire-based approach which addresses all relevant departments within a company, complemented by best practice analyses.
This paper provides results of the survey. The results demonstrate that reliability pays off. Some unproven beliefs have been confirmed (e.g. a good reliability performance results in a low spare part inventory) but also surprises like a correlation between safety and performance were identified. The analysis also shows that structural differences like company size or geography do not influence reliability performance.
Industrial companies face tremendous challenges to plan the resources needed to meet future market demands when implementing a PSS based solution portfolio. This paper deals with enhancing the PSS research landscape by presenting an approach to enable better resource-planning in PSS based businesses. In particular, a model is proposed which links resource structures with customer offerings. Linkages are implemented, which connect resources and their use in processes. The model contributes to better understand the complexity in resource structures and elements in the PSS and helps to better understand and describe the structural integration of resources in PSS. This is an important prerequisite for the planning of PSS and allows a qualitative and quantitative description of the service resources allocation enabling companies to build the competence needed to meet customer requirements. A case study based approach was applied for model development.
Industrial Service Providers (ISP) are exposed to constantly raising competitive pressures regarding both cost and performance aspects. The massive challenges caused by the current worldwide financial and economic crisis even intensified the need for process optimizations aimed at increasing the productivity of service production. To reach this goal the evaluation and elimination of waste in their production processes becomes a crucial ability for ISPs. This paper proposes a new approach for increasing productivity in service production processes using a generic measurement model for the detection and evaluation of waste. The model is based on established lean management principles, but tailored to the specifics of ISPs by adopting a customers’ perspective to track down and eliminate waste. The evaluation builds on an in-depth-analysis of particular types of waste in the industrial service production processes. Viewed from the customers’ perspective and taking into account the specific characteristics of services (e.g. intangibility, heterogeneity, inseparability, and perishability) and service production (e.g. volatile demand, a tendency to over-capacity, and limits to planning) the approach employs a service blueprint reference model to then determine the different types of waste in the various parts of the service production process.
In the near future, tooling companies will offer their customers not just maintenance services, but complex remote service packages for their engineering asset management, which is the total management of physical – not financial – assets. The overall goal is to enhance the efficiency of the engineering asset, e.g. to reduce TCO, on the customers´ site by means of value creating partnerships. These partnerships may be, e.g. the classical output or reliability partnership, but also process optimizing partnerships or lifecycle partnerships. The process optimizing partnership offers, e.g. the optimization of the system’s performance or the output quality, an optimized ramp-up and restart procedure or optimization of the production process parameters. The lifecycle partnership, on the other hand, accompanies the intelligent tool-machine-system throughout the whole lifecycle, which includes, e.g. provision of spare parts during the entire usage phase, storing, refurbishment, recycling and even the support of relocation of production facilities. Intelligent remote services have great potential for realizing all these partnerships.
To realize such engineering asset-related partnerships, two major tasks have to be done. First, there has to be the intelligent tool-machine system, which delivers the information that is required for these services. And furthermore, this information has to be integrated into the maintenance processes, so that it is delivered at the right place and time and in the required form. Second, the activities and processes that are combined to the engineering asset-related partnerships have to be configured out of standardized service and process modules. Therefore configuration logic is essential.
The House of Maintenance
(2009)
In order to guarantee an efficient and effective employment of production equipment, it is essential to identify any possible potential for improving performance, not only in the production process, but also in supporting areas such as maintenance. One of the major tasks in increasing maintenance performance consists of systematically identifying the company’s most significant weaknesses in maintenance organisation and thus being able to implement improvements there where they are most needed.
But how is a company to tackle this important task? To answer this question, this paper describes an assessment and improvement approach, based on a capability maturity model (CMM). By means of this approach, the status-quo of a maintenance organisation can be analysed and its individual improvement opportunities identified.
TPM hat sich – im Verständnis von Total Productive Management – vom rein auf die Instandhaltung bezogenen Konzept mittlerweile zu einem umfassenden Managementkonzept für das betriebliche Instandhaltungsmanagement weiterentwickelt. Nicht allein nur die Instandhaltungsbereiche sondern alle angrenzenden Organisations- und Unterstützungsbereiche werden in die Betrachtung von TPM integriert. Neben der Ganzheitlichkeit des Konzeptes adressieren die einzelnen TPM-Säulen überdies in einem hohen Maß die gleichen Ziele, die auch in existierenden Ansätzen zur wertorientierten Instandhaltung bzw. wertorientierten Unternehmensführung beschrieben sind. Der Beitrag befasst sich daher zunächst mit der Entwicklung der Wertorientierung in der Instandhaltung und zeigt damit den werterhaltenden und wertsteigernden Beitrag dieses Unterstützungsbereichs auf. Hieran anknüpfend gibt der Beitrag einen Überblick relevanter TPM-Konzepte und Begrifflichkeiten, um letztendlich die erfolgreiche Umsetzung der Wertorientierung in der Instandhaltung durch TPM zu belegen und aufzuzeigen, wie mit TPM die betriebliche Instandhaltung wertorientiert gestaltet werden kann.
Heterogene Maschinenparks, über Jahrzehnte gewachsene Anlagenstrukturen und fehlende Dokumentation im Bereich der Systemkomponenten, Bauteile und Ersatzteillisten erschweren es der Instandhaltung (IH), ihre anfallenden Maßnahmen präzise zu planen, mit benötigten Informationen zu unterstützen und somit effizient durchführen zu können. Die systematische Erfassung, Verwaltung und Nutzung administrativer Auftragsdaten kombiniert mit technischen Zeichnungen, Materialeigenschaften und Maschinendaten ermöglichen die gezielte Unterstützung von Instandhaltungsprozessen von der Initiierung bis hin zum Abschluss des Auftrages. Verschiedene Softwarelösungen stellen diesbezüglich die IT-technischen Funktionalitäten in verschiedenen Ausprägungen zur Verfügung. Aufgrund steigender organisatorischer Anforderungen, Effizienzbemühungen und technischer Möglichkeiten in den letzten 25 Jahren haben sich die unterstützenden IT-Lösungen stetig weiterentwickelt und sind zu Produkten geworden, welche explizit zur Unterstützung instandhaltungsspezifischer Aufgaben genutzt werden.
The Aim of this article is to provide a framework which enhances the existing scope of manufacturing asset management by specifically addressing industrial services provided by external suppliers as an integral part of today’s manufacturing structures. Existing research shows that sourcing industrial services from specialized service organizations establishes complex and unique interdependencies and links total production efficiency to the performance of the external service suppliers. Within the context of the EU-Project InCoCo-S - “Innovation, Coordination and Collaboration in Service Driven Manufacturing Supply Chains” a standard business reference model with key focus on operation and integration of business related services (BRS) in the supply chain has been developed. Based on the service type retrofit this paper aims on the one hand to present the modules of the reference model and on the other hand to explain how the model can be used to enhance the retrofit business.
Unternehmen des Maschinen- und Anlagenbaus stehen derzeit vor großen Herausforderungen. Während in der Vergangenheit vorwiegend einzelne Dienstleistungen von Seiten des Kunden nachgefragt wurden, fordern die Kunden heute ganzheitliche Problemlösungen in Form von Systemdienstleistungen oder als hybride Produkte – integrierte Leistungsbündel aus Sachgütern und Dienstleistungen.
Obschon sich der Maschinen- und Anlagenbau dieses Wandels bewusst ist, stellt er insbesondere kleine und mittlere Unternehmen vor Probleme. Auf Grund einer mangelnden Strukturierung von Systemdienstleistungen und fehlender Instrumente zur Nutzenerfassung und -bewertung von Dienstleistungen erfolgt die Konfiguration derartiger Leistungsbündel in der Regel unsystematisch und nicht auf Basis der Kundenwünsche und -bedürfnisse. Dies führt dazu, dass die Chancen, die sich den Unternehmen durch das Angebot von Systemdienstleistungen oder hybriden Produkten bieten, bisher nur unzureichend ausgeschöpft werden.
Der Beitrag stellt das am FIR entwickelte Modell ServKon vor. ServKon leistet einen Beitrag, die bestehende Lücke im Bereich der Berücksichtigung von Kundenwünschen und -bedürfnissen bei der Konfiguration von Systemdienstleistungen zu schließen. Durch die Anwendung des Modells können kleine und mittlere Maschinen- und Anlagenbauer den Nutzen von Einzeldienstleistungen mit einer einheitlichen Analysemethode erfassen, bewerten und darauf aufbauend den Gesamtnutzen potenzieller Leistungsbündel bestimmen. Dies bietet die Grundlage für die Konfiguration erfolgreicher Systemdienstleistungen. Unternehmen werden durch das Nutzenmodell befähigt, das Risiko einer nicht kundenorientierten Zusammenstellung der Leistungsbündel zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Entscheidung ressourcenschonend vorzubereiten.
In most European countries a structural change from a production dominated towards a service oriented society is progressing. Companies increasingly consider services as means to gain competitive advantages in a global competition. In order to provide holistic, value-adding solutions while simultaneously guaranteeing high quality standards, production companies increasingly join forces with external services‘ providers. Models, methods and tools for service development are rare and in most cases immature. In the context of virtual services‘ development this leads to a dual set of simultaneous chal-lenges: an alignment of systematic services‘ and product development and the coordination of distributed R&D partners. The objective is to provide a meta-process that identifies all steps and decision points necessary to successfully develop innovative services. It is a result of combined service development and virtual enterprises‘/ networks‘ research.
Smart Services – die effektive Trias aus Produkt, Service und kundenorientiertem Leistungsversprechen – bieten Chancen für produktionsorientierte Unternehmen eine Differenzierung und neue Marktchancen zu erreichen. Der bislang geringe Einsatz von Smart Services zeigt, dass im produzierenden Gewerbe vielschichtige Herausforderungen bestehen, die Bausteine Produkt, Service und Leistungsversprechen zu nachhaltigen und wettbewerbsfähigen Smart Services zu kombinieren, erfolgreiche Geschäftsmodelle abzuleiten und Organisationen auf das Smart-Service-Geschäft anzupassen. Nur die großen Player schaffen dies eigenständig, der Innovationsstandort Deutschland lebt aber auch von seinen Hidden Champions: Kleinunternehmen und Mittelständlern.
More and more companies in the mechanical and plant engineering industry are transforming their business model and evolving from product to solution providers. Subscription business models play a key role in this development. They enable companies to enter long-term collaborative relationships with customers and thus monetize the potential of Industry 4.0. However, this development is not easy for many companies and is associated with numerous hurdles. One of these hurdles is the development of a suitable range of services tailored to customer needs. In this context, the bundling of individual services to service modules plays a key role in realizing new value propositions. In practice, however, companies often lack an understanding of which services need to be combined in what way to be able to realize new value propositions. Accordingly, the goal of this work is to identify relevant services for subscription business models, to cluster them into meaningful value-adding bundles, and to derive new value propositions accordingly. The new value propositions in turn enable mechanical and plant engineering companies to strengthen customer loyalty and thus achieve long-term economic success.
The mechanical and plant engineering industry faces a stagnation in the new machinery market and is relying on innovative business models such as subscription to overcome these. In this business model, individually customized solution packages are offered. The success of these models depends directly on the future success of the customer, making the selection of the right customers crucial. The aim of this paper is to identify the criteria that indicate the suitability of customers for subscription models. While there are individual descriptions of suitability criteria in the existing literature, there is a lack of comprehensive consideration of customer relationship, customer company, and customer market, as the extensive consideration was not necessary in the transactional sale of machines until now. Therefore, in this study, expert interviews are conducted with companies in mechanical and plant engineering that offer subscription models. The results show criteria that are used to evaluate customers in the six main categories of creditworthiness, market potential, benefit potential, feasibility, relationship, and sales effort. In total, 24 criteria can provide insight into the suitability of the customer for a successful subscription relationship. These criteria are intended to develop target systems that meet the requirements of different stakeholders in the customer and thus support the economic viability of these business models.
