However, companies face tremendous challenges to develop customer solutions. Service engineering is considered to be the scientific discipline which supports the design task of intangible offerings and thus a foundation for solution design. We enhance the existing body of research in service engineering by proposing to apply the systematic approach of service engineering for solution design. An architecture for services design is introduced as an initial starting point to designing service based solutions.Copyright: Cranfield University, 2009Industrial Product Service SystemsSolution SystemsCustomer ValueDesign FrameworkService EngineeringService Engineering ArchitectureConference paper
