The plant service products are intangible products in the form of labor, technique, and knowledge, which exist in producer service outsourcing. For plant service providers, they need to attach great importance to the value links in the design of plant service products. To realize maximum value, plant service providers should firstly make a reasonable orientation for the value chain of service products and highly aware of each value link in the designing process of plant service products. Therefore, based on the value chain theory, the paper constructs and analyzes an effective design model for plant service products, makes the whole products design truly clear and applicable, and also provides enlightenment for plant service providers to create high service value.
