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.
Remote services are services enabled by information and communication components and therefore do not require the physical presence of a service technician at the service object to provide a task. The impact of remote service on the capital goods industry has been increasingly significant over the recent yeas. Still many companies struggle with developing and implemenling successful business model, for remote service. This leads to a lot of unaccomplished benefits for the customer as well as for the companies themselves. A survey throughout companies in Ihe industrial machine and plant production sector was conducted in order to determine what successful companies do differently from those that cannot efficiently implement remote service business models.
The study presented in this chapter identifies key suceess factors of companies that effectively implemented remote services for their products. In order to identify the successful companies a scale for measuring remote service success was developed. Only by the use of this scale further findings regarding the success factors were possible. Key findings include the fact that successful companies actively market their remotle service to their customers. Generally they try to approach their remote service business from the operating company's perspective.
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.
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.
Heterogene Maschinenparks, über Jahrzehnte gewachsene Anlagenstrukturen und fehlende Dokumentation im Bereich der Systemkomponenten, Bauteile und Ersatzteilteillisten 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 Auftrags. 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.
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.
