  Abstract/
Summary

Re-thinking the service ‘product’ means building carefully defined, modular, configurable and easily repeatable service products, i.e., productizing and modularizing services further, making them more product like or ‘tangible’. In order to start utilizing the possibilities brought by the information technology and automation, a standard definition of a service-product is needed. This can be directly adapted from the manufacturing business.
