Abstract

Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS) may become very competitive for Machine Tool Builders (MTB) which are able to regain system modules at the expiration of each contract and use them to configure new systems. The paper proposes an integrated model to evaluate operational and economical performance and to define the optimal configuration of the assembly and de-remanufacturing departments of the MTB. The model allows assessing the impact of the number of systems under EaaS and of the variability in the length of the contracts on the MTB economical performance to derive general considerations for the company strategy.
