text: Although many methods have been proposed for engineering service systems and
customer solutions, most of these approaches give little consideration to recombinant
service innovation. Recombinant innovation refers to reusing and integrating resources
that were previously unconnected. In an age of networked products and data, we
can expect that many service innovations will be based on adding, dissociating,
and associating existing value propositions by accessing internal and external
resources instead of designing them from scratch. The purpose of this paper is
to identify if current service engineering approaches account for the mechanisms
of recombinant innovation and to design a method for recombinant service systems
engineering. In a conceptual analysis of 24 service engineering methods, the study
identified that most methods (1) focus on designing value propositions instead
of service systems, (2) view service independent of physical goods, (3) are either
linear or iterative instead of agile, and (4) do not sufficiently address the
mechanisms of recombinant innovation. The paper discusses how these deficiencies
can be remedied and designs a revised service systems engineering approach that
reorganizes service engineering processes according to four design principles.
The method is demonstrated with the recombinant design of a service system for
predictive maintenance of agricultural machines.
