Requirements for transfer and application of IPS~2 resource planning - case-study of a global machine tool manufacturer

摘要

Depending on the contracted business model of an Industrial Product-Service System (IPS~2), different processes have to be carried out during the operation phase. The required resources to carry out these processes have to be planned with strategic and operational methods. However, these methods have not yet been utilized in industrial applications. In this paper, the requirements for the transfer and application of the IPS~2 resource planning are discussed based on a case study of a global German machine tool manufacturer. The results of the review give valuable indications for the integration of the planning tool for existing machine tool manufacturers.
