| Abstract: | Manufacturing companies are starting to recognize that services offered through a product are important. From the viewpoint of offering products in combination with services, it is important for designers to focus on requirements. This paper proposes a method to analyze the identified requirements for a strategic service improvement. By evaluating the requirements qualitatively from both the service customer’s and provider’s perspectives, some significant suggestions to define specific requirements which should be focus of improvement are presented. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated by a case study where a utility company is a client of a service. |
