Mit der steigenden Bedeutung von industriellen Dienstleistungen und den damit verbundenen Herausforderungen der Unternehmensführung bedarf es eines Bezugsrahmens für das Management industrieller Dienstleistungen. Ein solcher Ansatz, der eine umfassende Beschreibung der Aufgaben des Managements darlegt, wurde von Schuh und Gudergan entwickelt.
Ziel des Ordnungsrahmens ist es, dem Management eine grundlegende Orientierung zu geben und dabei die relevanten Gestaltungsbereiche zu betrachten. Es wird in Anlehnung an das St. Galler Management-Modell zwischen einer internen und einer externen Perspektive unterschieden.
Der im weiteren Verlauf vorgestellte Ordnungsrahmen beschreibt den Betrachtungsbereich sowie Inhalte und Aufgaben, die für das Management Industrieller Dienstleistungen von Relevanz ist. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht der vorgestellte Ordnungsrahmen die Strukturierung und Einordnung der verschiedenen Themenfelder. Der Ordnungsrahmen gliedert dabei das Management industrieller Dienstleistungen in die Teilbereiche Unternehmensstruktur, Unternehmensprozesse und Unternehmensentwicklung. Diese innerbetrieblichen Aspekte werden in den Kontext der für das Unternehmen relevanten Umweltsphären und Anspruchsgruppen gesetzt.
Im Zuge der fortschreitenden Angebotserweiterung um industrielle Dienstleistungen und immer komplexere Leistungssysteme sehen sich Industriegüterunternehmen vor der Herausforderung, ihre Organisationsstrukturen um- oder sogar neu zu gestalten. Neben der Auflösung der stark produktorientierten und häufig hierarchischen Organisationsstrukturen ist die Einführung von Center-Konzepten oder sogar unabhängigen Dienstleistungsbereichen zu einem Erfolgsgaranten für das Dienstleistungsgeschäft geworden.
In diesem Beitrag werden, aufbauend auf den generischen Formen der Unternehmensorganisation, verschiedene Möglichkeiten zur Einbindung der Dienstleistungseinheiten in das Unternehmen vorgestellt und vor dem Hintergrund der verschiedenen Entwicklungsstufen des Dienstleistungsgeschäfts diskutiert. Im Anschluss werden die verrichtungsorientierte und objektorientierte Gliederung für die Ausgestaltung der Dienstleistungseinheiten vorgestellt. Abschließend werden die verschiedenen Auftragsformen und der Umfang des Leistungsangebots als Einflussfaktoren der Organisationsstrukturierung diskutiert.
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.
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.
Competitive differentiation in the manufacturing sector is no longer based on product and service innovations alone but on the ability to monetize the usage phase of products and services. To this end, manufacturers are increasingly looking at so-called subscription business models as a way of supplementing the traditional sale of products and services. Since supplier success in the subscription business is directly dependent on customer success, the setup and expansion of a so-called Customer Success Management (CSM) is required. While CSM has already been established in the software industry for several years, companies in the manufacturing sector are often still in the conceptual phase of a CSM, parallel to the setup and expansion of their subscription business. Therefore, this paper aims to support the set-up of a CSM by providing a reference data model, based on case study research, that can be used to support the organizational or daily CSM tasks and to serve as a blueprint for conceptualizing CSM-specific IT systems.
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.
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.
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.
Pricing is one of the most important, but underestimated tools, to enhance a company's profitability. Especially in the furniture sector, customers place a special interest in cost-efficient products and easy processes. Individualised and sustainable furniture can help to create a unique selling point and deliver real value to the customers. Therefore, a platform to create designs together is needed and can involve several stakeholders in the design and production phase. However, in order to include several stakeholders, the pricing and revenue model need to reflect individual needs and be a benefit to all. In this paper, the initial situation and potential revenue model options will be presented. Furthermore, multiple scenarios for practical use will be discovered and an overview given.
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.
