From product to service orientation in the maritime equipment industry: a case study
In the shipping industry, operational performance of ships and their equipment is crucial to business. Suppliers of machinery and equipment are aware of this situation and see business development potential in setting up service systems that are dedicated to ensuring the performance of their products in operation.
In this paper we present a case study of a shipping equipment manufacturer that is currently shifting business focus from manufacturing towards services delivery. Using a modelling scheme to differentiate and categorise different development tasks within the frame of business development towards service oriented business, the case delivers insights into the broader context and product related parameters influencing the options and requirements for service system development.
