The objective of the research is to develop novel tools for engineering Product Service Systems around products, which possess cyber physical features. products with features, such as vehicles, machines, home appliances, offer large spectrum opportunities provide new services products. analysis state art indicate that support effective are still missing. Two directly supporting development product service systems developed a tool selection /definition sensors and intelligent features at...
In the globally competitive market landscape, companies, in order to remain sustainable, must shift their focus towards constantly improving PSS offerings by incorporating lean thinking approaches. are complex, dynamic, and multi-dimensional systems, which supported appropriate infrastructure networks. At same time, require robust engineering methods tools for design, allow exchange of knowledge between designers relevant stakeholders across value chain. Currently, enabling technologies such...
The adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has resulted in a significant shift how data European Union citizens is handled. A variety sharing challenges scenarios such as smart cities have arisen, especially when attempting to semantically represent GDPR legal bases, consent, contracts and types specific sources related them. Most existing ontologies that model focus mainly on consent. In order other contracts, multiple need be simultaneously reused combined, which can...
The industrial world is today navigating from a traditional product-based business to new more complex solution-based orientation, pushed by technologies, multiple functionalities demand and change in the customer value perception. Several are methods tools proposed literature aid manufacturers design those solutions an integrated systematized way but none of them really able consider together product service components, according both company views. In this context, methodology generating...
The paper is one of the few attempts to develop a Product Service System (PSS) ontology aiming facilitate Knowledge Management in collaborative PSS design, focusing upon machine industry. includes concepts such as products, services, PSS, lifecycle, process and stakeholders, including direct customers, consumers their feedback. context sensitivity approach proposed fully support use different tools for development by various stakeholders. model both so-called user-centric ontology....
The aim of the present research is to develop a formalised and structured model communication knowledge sharing mechanisms which support product/process development activities in knowledge-based environment fostering creativity value creation. work based on concept so-called LeanPPD (Lean Product Process Development) model, cornerstone set-based concurrent engineering approach. decision tool first aiming companies applying SBCE approach optimise complex critical processes. (so-called...
The recent years have seen an increasing interest from the companies to differentiate themselves competitors by enriching their portfolio with new product related services. introduction of Product Service System (PSS) worsened companies' economic performance since proposed PSSs were not designed using methodologies and tools created make them sustainable. In order overcome this problem, DIVERSITY project proposes a methodology that considers entire life cycle, identification customer's need...
Companies are looking for new approaches and tools to help them meet their customer's demands, particularly the desire of customized products at lower costs. The paradigm product-service systems brings companies opportunity enlarging offer, services in an integrated way. This paper presents early prototype a software platform that supports designing PSSs using feedback information collected over value chain. described has been tested three industrial is currently being further developed.
Manufacturing companies today instead of selling classical products turn more to offer Product Service Systems (PSS). The development PSS in manufacturing industry requires intensive collaboration among various actors across the value chain. Innovative collaborative ICT environment including sets advanced tools allowing for effective are needed. Enormous amount knowledge be gathered and shared under dynamically changing conditions, diffused a wide spectrum involved, having different...
The upcoming trend for mass-customisation and higher customer expectations are forcing industries on the one hand to shorten their product release cycles, other create products which self-adapting need of customers. Situational awareness is a promising approach achieve high self-adaptability such products, extended by services. presented in this work addresses both challenges. It provides short overview novel engineering platform rapid collaborative design extension services it presents an...
