PROJECT SUMMARY

When selling a product today it contains much more than just hardware. Without a service part the product would be of no value for the customer. To be able to evaluate and choose the best concept the overall package need to be reconsidered. The aim for this project is to develop a methodology that reconsider both hardware and service in the conceptual phase of jet engine components.
