  • Conference paper
Advances in Life Cycle Engineering for Sustainable Manufacturing Businesses

Abstract

Today’s turbulent economic environment confronts German tool and die makers with new challenges. To compete with China and with the new eastern members of the European Union, German companies must come up with innovative products and services to stand out from their competitors. New types of business models shall offer individual solutions to the customers, integrating product and services to a hybrid product. Within the research project TecPro, ‘intelligent’ tools which are to deliver completely new data from the production process will be developed. With their help, business models for technology-based product-servicesystems are to be designed.
