Functional Thinking for Value Creation

Abstract

The product structure plays a major role in the PLM as an integral design element for coping with product complexity. As a prerequisite for enabling product structuring, a descriptive model of the product is needed, a product model. Product models for the service industry have been subject for scientific examination nowadays, but so far a general and practical definition, as for tangible goods, is still missing. This paper proposes a general product architecture for services in the telecommunication industry by reflecting on existing work from the manufacturing industry. These theoretical findings have been evaluated by an international study to provide indications for its adequacy.
