Manufacturing companies are starting to recognize that services offered through a product are important. From the viewpoint of offering products in combination with services; it is important for designers to focus on requirements. This paper proposes a method to analyze the identified requirements for a strategic service improvement. By evaluating the requirements qualitatively from both the service customer’s and provider’s perspectives; some significant suggestions to define specific requirements which should be focus of improvement are presented. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated by a case study where a utility company is a client of a service.
