In fact, the lines between manufacturing and services are blurring. For example, Rolls-Royce no longer sells jet engines; it sells the hours that each engine is actually thrusting an aeroplane through the sky. HP offers printer ink as a service. The solar power industry has realised that the service model makes more sense than selling panels. In short, “Smart products are smart products are yesterday’s news, now it’s about smart services. And it’s the data generated by those smart products that is becoming yesterday’s news, now the disruptive element in the manufacturing industry. In short, it’s about smart services” servitisation is leading to data driven models. The question is, “are manufacturers prepared for this disruption in the manufacturing value chain—the move from a traditional product- centric business model to a service-centric one?” When asked in one of the recent conferences deliberating on this topic, I got the answer “yes”, but when probed further, many people agreed that manufacturers are moving too slowly towards the disruption of smart services. One may observe today that the closer the manufacturers get to their client’s business, the more they see opportunities to build better products, often in real time and with deep insight through the vast volumes of data the servitisation generates. This data, when added to the competitive nature of their business, means quicker product improvement. This means operational data professionals will be fast becoming the most valuable part of a manufacturer’s design office. We captured this topic in the Special Feature section in this issue that talks on the growing importance of data analytics in manufacturing.
