Since data becomes more and more important in industrial context, the question arises on how data-driven added value can be measured consistently and comprehensively by manufacturing companies. Currently, attempts on data valuation are primarily taking place on internal company level and qualitative scale. This leads to inconclusive results and unused opportunities in data monetization. Existing approaches in theory to determine quantitative data value are seldom used and less sophisticated. Although quantitative valuation frameworks could enable entities to transfer data valuation from an internal to an external level to take account of progress in digital transformation into external reporting. This paper contributes to data value assessment by presenting a four-part valuation framework that specifies how to transfer internal, qualitative to external, quantitative data valuation. The proposed framework builds on insights derived from practice-oriented action research. The framework is finally tested with a machine tool manufacturer using a single case study approach. Placing value on data will contribute to management’s capability to manage data as well as to realize data-driven benefits and revenue.

Towards a Methodology to Determine Intersubjective Data Values in Industrial Business Activities
(2021)
This paper contributes to a valuation framework for valuing data as an intangible asset. Especially those industrial manufacturers developing and delivering holistic digital solutions are limited in calculating the true business value of data initiatives. Since the value of data is strongly dependent on the respective use case, a completely objective valuation is not possible. This complicates decision-making on the internal side regarding investments in digital transformation, and on the external side to communicate existing benefits to third parties via financial reporting. Therefore, the target is to design a valuation framework that allows industrial manufacturers to determine an intersubjective, i.e., traceable and transparent, data value. In order to develop a framework that can be applied in practice, the approach is based on industrial case study research.
Manufacturing companies are constantly increasing their efforts in the subscription business, also known as product-as-a-service business, offering usage and outcome based solutions (value-in-use) instead of transactional services and products (value-in-exchange). Customers are becoming contractual subscribers of the solution in return for recurring, performance-related payments. To address arising, inevitable challenges like (1) reducing customer churn, (2) increasing usage intensity and outcome quality, (3) ensuring the adoption of product and software releases as well as (4) fostering customer loyalty, leading manufacturing companies are setting up a new organizational, customer-facing unit, called Customer Success Management (CSM). This unit has its origins in the software-as-a-service business, operating next to established entities like sales, key account management and customer service. Since there are currently no holistic models for an end-to-end description of CSM-tasks in the manufacturing industry, this paper contributes to a taskoriented reference model, using a grounded theory approach, examining both manufacturing and software companies. Containing a reference framework with 8 main tasks, 17 basic tasks and 76 elementary tasks, the reference model supports manufacturing companies in adapting and customizing a company-specific CSM concept.
Projekt ‚Future Data Assets‘: Reporting der unternehmerischen Fähigkeit der Datenbewirtschaftung
(2020)
„Daten sind das neue Öl.“ Ein vielfach genutzter Ausdruck, der die Relevanz und den Wert von Daten im digi- talen Zeitalter unterstreicht. Allerdings existiert derzeit noch kein standardisiertes Verfahren, um den Wert von Daten explizit zu bemessen. Traditionelle marktpreis-, kosten- und nutzenbasierte Bewertungsmethoden kommen bei der Anwendung im Datenkontext schnell an ihre Grenzen. Das Forschungsprojekt ‚Future Data Assets‘ hat zum Ziel, neue Möglichkeiten der Datenbewertung zu erforschen. Im Fokus der Untersuchungen stehen insbesondere produzierende Unternehmen, die zunehmend Daten wertschöpfend einsetzen, jedoch vor zahlreichen Herausforderungen in der externen und internen Kommunikation ihres Datenkapitals stehen. Das diesem Bericht zugrundeliegende Vorhaben wurde mit Mitteln des Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Energie unter dem Förderkennzeichen 01MD19010B gefördert. Die Verantwortung für den Inhalt dieser Veröffentlichung liegt beim Autor.
Today, however, agility is seen more than ever as a critical success factor for companies. In times of an increasing degree of digital interconnection and minimum viable products, a mentality is entering the industrial service sector that has so far only been exemplified by Internet companies (e.g. Google): New products and especially digital services are developed in highly iterative processes. To this end, customers are involved in early test phases of development and provide feedback on individual functional modules, which – in contrast to the previous approach – are only gradually assembled into a market-ready “100 percent version”. But especially with the development of new digital services, companies must ensure more than ever that both the existing analog service business and the design of new digital services are geared to effectiveness and efficiency in order to meet the growing demands of customers and competitors.
To achieve this, companies must not only be familiar with the products currently on the market, but also master the entire product history, which in some cases goes back more than 30 years and varies greatly from one industry to another.
Lean Services ist ein am FIR an der RWTH Aachen entwickeltes Managementkonzept, das die Vermeidung von Verschwendung und die konsequente Ausrichtung der Serviceprozesse an der Erzielung eines möglichst hohen Kundennutzens fokussiert. Konkret bedeutet dies, die Gestaltung schlanker Prozesse bei gleichzeitig komplexer werdenden Markt- und Kundenanforderungen zu berücksichtigen.
Im Mittelpunkt von Industrie 4.0 steht die echtzeitfähige und Intelligente Vernetzung von Menschen, Maschinen und Software, mit dem Ziel, komplexe Systeme transparent zu gestalten und dynamisch zu managen. Industrie 4.0 kann somit als Ergänzung des Lean-Services-Ansatzes dazu beitragen, die zunehmende Komplexität in der Leistungserbringung beherrschbar zu machen. Die Potenziale digitaler Technologien müssen dabei allerdings zunächst durch die Anwendung grundlegender Lean-Prinzipen "nutzbar" gemacht werden. Der Lean-Services-4.0-Zyklus gibt vor, wie Unternehmen diesen Weg gestalten können, indem die fünf Phasen des bewährten Aachener Lean-Services-Zyklus, ergänzt durch die drei übergeordneten Schalen Technologische Enabler, 'Lean Services 4.0'-Methoden und Potenziale von Lean Services 4.0 durchlaufen werden.
This paper contributes to an assessment framework for valuing data as an asset. Particularly industrial manufacturers developing and delivering Smart Product Service Systems (Smart PSS) are comprehensively depended on the business value derived by processing data. However, there is a lack in a framework for capturing and comparing the Smart PSS data value with the purpose of increasing the accountability of data initiatives. Therefore a qualitative data value assessment approach was developed and specified on Smart PSS, based on an industrial case study research.

Ziel des Forschungsprojekts 'LBM²' ist die Entwicklung eines kostengünstigen und leicht zu bedienenden Überwachungssystems für Windenergieanlagen (WEA). Mittels Lasterfassung durch Drehmomentsensoren und der darauf basierenden Ermittlung von Restlebensdauern sollen der Betrieb und die Instandhaltungsplanung des gesamten Windparks (WP) optimiert werden. Dazu wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit einem Sensorhersteller eine Technik zur Messung der realen Lasten an der Hauptwelle für die Applikation in einem Windpark des Projektpartners Innogy SE entwickelt. Parallel wurden Instandhaltungstätigkeiten im Windpark erfasst, prozessual abgebildet und wesentliche Kostentreiber identifiziert. Die Bearbeitung des Projekts erfolgt gemeinsamen durch das Center for Wind Power Drives (CWD) aus Aachen und den FIR e. V. an der RWTH Aachen. Das IGF-Vorhaben 20028 N der Forschungsvereinigung FIR e. V. an der RWTH Aachen, Campus-Boulevard 55, 52074 Aachen wird über die AiF im Rahmen des Programms zur Förderung der industriellen Gemeinschaftsforschung (IGF) vom Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energien aufgrund eines Beschlusses des Deutschen Bundestages gefördert.
