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.
Industrial companies are moving to a solution driven business by offering smart product service systems (Smart PSS). In addition to an existing portfolio of physical goods and technical services, companies develop new digital services and combine all three offerings to an integrated digital solution business. While the development of new digital services does not pose any major challenges for companies, the successful sale of Smart PSS does. Due to changing customer requirements and value propositions of a solution, the sale of Smart PSS requires new design principles for the sales organization compared to the simple sale of physical goods or technical services. While there are already many publications on the topic of industrial sales in research, the description of Smart PSS in particular represents a new field of research. The combination of both topics is therefore not only interesting from a theoretical point of view, but also has a particularly high practical relevance and impact for industrial companies. This paper therefore describes on the one hand, which characteristics can be used to derive customer requirements for Smart PSS and on the other hand, which effects these requirements have on the sales organization of the industrial company. The design principles give recommendations for the organizational structure, the resources, the information systems and the culture of the company depending on the targeted customer type. In order to identify and describe both the customer requirements and the design principles, two morphological boxes were developed based on a literature research and semi-structured interviews with industrial companies. The paper gives an outlook on the different characteristics of the design recommendations and describes first best practices for the successful transformation of the sales organization.
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.
