Övrigt konferensbidrag, 2013

The aerospace industry is facing a servitization as the service integration is increasing in the product development and product-service systems (PSS) offers become more and more common. This change implies new challenges for the development teams as well as for the whole organization and its network. This research has studied this servitization at GKN Aerospace Engine Systems. The research has focused on the collaborative issues and the findings show examples of methods and activities that support the organization and its teams in the servitization of the product development.
