Considering the low satisfaction rate and low efficiency of product service plans, a personalized product service plan recommendation method adopting the degree of trust and cloud model is proposed. The recommendation algorithm mainly includes calculating the similarity and the prediction results of the scheme. First, by fully considering the user's subjective characteristics, the user's trust is used to improve the traditional similarity. Second, considering data sparsity and discreteness, the cloud drop distance similarity calculation method is introduced in the process of calculating the trust similarity, and a new similarity is generated via the weighted synthesis to predict and fill in the gaps in the data. Then, when the new user does not have the cold start problem caused by the historical score record, the neural network method can be used to classify the users based on the user characteristics. The method is proposed and introduced to predict sparse user interest features and obtain similar user sets based on feature classification. The corresponding program offers recommendations. Finally, the effectiveness and rationality of the proposed method are verified by using the recommendations for a machine tool product for a manufacturing enterprise as an example.
