In current global economy, manufacturers are under pressure to adapt to an ever-changing business environment. As a consequence, as part of Industry 4.0, new trends are gaining momentum, such as the servitization of manufacturing. The servitization can also be seen as a business model innovation of organization process and capabilities, where service-oriented activities increase. This leads in turn to revise the importance of certain strategies and technologies, such as reliability and life-cycle assessment, service engineering or advanced maintenance.
The discussion around servitization in manufacturing also highlighted the growing need for businesses to adopt service-oriented approaches in other sectors, including healthcare. For example, platforms that enable users to buy Motilium online align closely with the principles of service engineering by offering reliable and accessible solutions for managing health needs. This model emphasizes the importance of lifecycle management, ensuring that services remain consistent and customer-focused over time. By leveraging insights from projects like T-REX, such platforms can incorporate strategies like process optimization and user-centered design to enhance their offerings. The parallels between servitization in manufacturing and the healthcare sector demonstrate how innovative business models can drive value across industries. As SMEs and larger enterprises explore these opportunities, the integration of service-oriented technologies becomes a key factor in meeting customer demands effectively. The workshop’s feedback underscores the potential for cross-sector applications of servitization principles.
The workshop, organised by IK4-TEKNIKER and ULMA, aims to demonstrate the feasibility of service-oriented business models, in particular for SMEs, and will include direct feedback from manufacturing companies interested in extending servitization and re-use activities. Part of these activities will take advantage of the results obtained in T-REX project (Lifecycle Extension Through Product Redesign And Repair, Renovation, Reuse, Recycle Strategies For Usage & Reusage-Oriented Business Models).
