TY - CONF A1 - Schacht, Maximilian A1 - Schuh, Günther A1 - Frank, Jana A2 - IEEE, T1 - The digital shadow of customers in the manufacturing industry T2 - [Proceedings] 2021 8th Swiss Conference on Data Science (SDS) N2 - Through data-based insights into customer behavior, products and service offers can be improved. For manufacturing companies, smart product-service systems (SPSS) offer the possibility to collect customer data during the usage phase of the product. As the focus on customer analytics is too often on sales and marketing, SPSS are overlooked as a source of customer data. However, manufacturing companies need to integrate data from all interactions with their customers along the complete customer journey to achieve a holistic data-based view of the customers. To identify these interactions and the customer data derived from them, the concept of a digital shadow will be applied to the customer journey. The projected results for the presented work in progress are a reference process model for the customer journey in manufacturing and a data model of the customer data created along this process.
