Technical Product-Service Systems—A Business Opportunity for Machine Industry

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ((LNME))

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present an idea of servicization and technical product-service systems. General assumptions, trends, and challenges in business, customer expectations, and manufacturing leading to the need and trend of servicization of economies and production sectors in particular are discussed. Product-service systems characteristics and typologies are discussed. Selected examples of product-service systems are presented. New concept of a technical product-service system was proposed for a manufacturer of moulds. Presented example shows properties that characterize technical product-service systems in relation to a set of services proposed for a manufacturer of moulds. Characteristics of systems were discussed to show possible benefits for a manufacturer of moulds, as well as its customers.
