Abstract

The concept of servitization advocates fostering fusion and growth of service in goods-based organizations and transition from manufacturing by standard industry classifications to those similarly classified as services, including maintenance, spares provision, condition monitoring. It represents a strategic paradigm shift from the production of undifferentiated physical products for specific markets to the production of services bundled with products to provide tailored solutions for specific customers.
