Organised by: Cranfield UniversityProduct/Service Systems have recently grown in manufacturers’ interest. This paper presents an
international survey of manufacturers from Sweden, Japan, Italy and Germany. The results show that
customer connection and demands along with increased competition were main driving forces for
product/service systems. Also, most product/service systems include physical products, maintenance and
repairs. Staff working with product development, marketing and after sales were the major actors in
product/service system development. As in traditional product sales, most product/service systems still have
the ownership of physical products transferred to the customer/user. Physical products used in
product/service systems are seldom adapted for product/service systems.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Company; BAE Systems; S4T – Support Service Solutions: Strategy and Transitio
