Abstract
Due to competitors in low-wage countries, many manufacturing companies must pursue new business solutions to convince industrial customers about their products. Offering solutions that meet customer needs by products with integrated services, so called Industrial Product-Service Systems (IPS2), is one option to ensure competitiveness. One challenge is how to compensate for energy costs in an IPS2 by energy efficient manufacturing. In this paper, a scenario is considered where a consortium of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Energy Planning Consultants act as an IPS2 provider to acquire new customers by energy efficient manufacturing operations.
