AbstractAlthough product family design methods are well established, little research has focused on Product-Service-System (PSS) family design. A PSS family design method is proposed in this paper that parallels methodology for designing product families. Separate platforms are proposed for products and for services. However, couplings between product and service platforms are identified and incorporated into the design method. Design problem formulations are proposed for PSS family platforms and for the PSS family itself, using a module-based approach, in contrast to a platform scaling approach. Alternative methods are investigated and compared for solving these problems. The application domain of Assistive Mobility (AM) is identified as a promising PSS family in this work. If smart technologies are integrated into AM devices, such as manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs, walkers, and rollators, then patient diagnosis and treatment, as well as device maintenance, services are enabled with these smart technologies, demonstrating that smart AM devices are a promising PSS family.

Product–service system is a new globally optimized production system with high-degree integration of product and service, which is formed under the product lifecycle management thinking of manufacturing enterprises. This paper applies the modular design method in the development of CNC product–service system and studies the module division and configuration modeling method oriented to configuration design process. First, a service module division method based on design structure matrix is proposed, and the relationship of service activities is established through directed graph and the module division of service activities is determined by calculating reachable matrix. Next, the product–service integration strategy is analyzed, the product–service integration model is built, and the organic integration of product and services is achieved. Then, the meaning of configuration model of product–service system is introduced and the configuration model is established. At last, the economical turning center is selected as an example of CNC to implement the module division and configuration modeling of CNC product–service system and to verify the feasibility of proposed methods.

Feasibility Evaluation

A product service system composed of products, services, hardware and software support, and stakeholders enhances the added value and competitiveness of products through resource integration. To reduce the input in servitization and improve feasibility, manufacturers tend to construct a product service system based on existing products to meet the demands of customers, instead of constructing a completely new product service system. Therefore, this article presents a spiral evolutionary design method to construct a product service system based on existing products. With the ultimate goal of the system evolution being the maximization of the use of existing products while satisfying the demands of customers, the system performance will be spirally upgraded under the guidance of the system evolution chain through the operation of the system symbiotic ring. The construction of a mobile fire extinguishing product service system based on existing fire-fighting equipment was used as an example to illustrate the feasibility of this methodology. Finally, a feasibility evaluation system was established to evaluate and compare the previous product service system methodologies with the methodology in this article.

This paper reports on an empirical study about how designers and design researchers applied a co-creation method to generate product-service-system (PSS) concepts in multi-stakeholder teams, to promote physical activities for elderly people in an EU project. This method is developed based on the Value Design method. The value design method consists of a workshop process and a set of generative research tools to support the value creation process. By analysing the workshop process, results from the end user value creating process, the stakeholder value creating process and the encounter process, this paper demonstrates how designers can use such a co-creation process together with the created generative research tools to enable the value creation for the purpose of adopting the PSS approach by the stakeholders and the end users. The results also showed that different social cultural contexts related to the field of interest determined the stakeholder network construction.

Sustainability Concept

Increasing awareness of the importance of services has given rise to the concept of product-service system where goods and services are sold as an integrated package to customers. On the other hand, the emerging sustainability concept has escalated the demand for sustainability for industries. Consequently, it is necessary to build strategies that lead the company to achieve sustainability goals while keeping competitiveness. Drawing on the necessity service and sustainability concept in the quality improvement of the product-service system, this study aims to develop a systematic design tool by filling the gap to the previous studies. We used Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach by considering customer requirements (VoC) and stakeholder requirements (VoSt), instead of VoC only, based on the service and sustainability dimensions. We refer to the proposed QFD approach as QFDSPS. We introduce service productivity index (SPI) to measure the performance of the system. Thus, in the proposed methodology, the strategies for quality improvement were defined as subject to VoC, VoSt, and SPI. The methodology was implemented in a Javanese restaurant which meets the characteristics of a product-service system. The result shows that the proposed method can be implemented. The implications due to the implementation of the method are also discussed.
