“…Since this research was lacking in the immediate eld of PSS design research, adjacent elds such as engineering design and, with even stronger focus, Ecodesign, were examined. ese elds experienced and continue to experience similar challenges when compared with PSS design (Andreasen, 2011;Lindahl, 2005). By applying the ndings in these elds and evaluating possible overlaps with the area of PSS, ndings were produced with the intent of supporting the adjustment and development of methods for PSS design without the need for extensive empirical work -as this was already available from the aforementioned related research elds.…”

What’s in it for the Provider? : A Lifecycle-Focused Approach towards Designing for Value in Product-Service Systems

As the value for customers of Product-Service Systems is increasingly understood, this thesis examines the question: What's in it for the Provider? Combining products and services into Product-Service Systems (PSS), which are o en owned and even operated by the company o ering them, is seen as an important element of conducting more sustainable business. e prospective environmental bene ts of PSS lie mainly in the improved resource-and operational e ciency. is is achieved by way of a critical shi in incentive structure: If an industrial company assumes responsibility for an o ering throughout the lifecycle, the terms on which that company operates in general are changed notably in comparison to traditional product sales. Instead of bene ting from a short lifetime through additional sales opportunities or making pro t through the sale of spare parts, in highly integrated PSS, each parts exchange, each technicians' visit and each day the lifetime of the o ering is reduced directly a ects the bottom line of the provider. Due to that, solely as a result of economic rationality, a provider of these o erings has an incentive to design in such a way that the life of this o ering is prolonged, need for spare parts is reduced, service activities are facilitated and simpli ed, and that the conditions are in place to allow for a second or third life of the o ering through remanufacturing. Regardless of this compelling logic, industrial companies at times fail to establish the preconditions to capturing these bene ts as they continue to rely on product and sales-centric design processes even though they provide PSS.is thesis examines this unexploited opportunity from two vantage points. On the one hand, methods conceived in academia to support industry in implementing and executing joint, lifecycle-focused design of products and services, and the use of these methods in practice, are examined. Here, the focus rstly lies on understanding how PSS are designed today, and secondly, on what should change about PSS design methods to improve their implementability and usability in industrial practice, so that they can ful ll their supposed role as facilitators of e cient PSS design and operation. On the other hand, the possible bene ts of providing speci cally designed and lifecycle-focused PSS as an industrial company are in focus. To this end, the value attained by providers throughout the use phase of PSS is investigated, to then identify possible approaches towards enhancing this value. Eventually, both focus-areas are joined in an e ort to examine the interaction between method-supported, lifecycle-oriented PSS design and the value attained by providers of such o erings.As a result of the research, a lacking adaptation of design processes to PSS is identi ed in the case companies. Further, shortcomings of PSS design methods conceived in academia, e.g. excessive complexity, lacking clarity and rigidity, are found in both literature as well as in a study with an industrial company. To take a rst step towards rectifying ...

“…Many of these are informed by the early work of Hubka, Andreasen, and others who showed how a mechanical design can be described as a structure of information that cuts across different ''domains''. Overviews of the product-focused aspects of this work can be found in Buur (1990), Andreasen (2011), Eder (2011), and Hubka (1982. Applying these concepts to the design process, Theory of Domains (recently summarised by Andreasen 2011; Andreasen et al 2015) contends that designers consider an emerging mechanical design from four perspectives or domains: (1) a process of transformations effected by the product in use; (2) functions that provide those transformations; (3) organs which provide physical effects required for functions, through interaction between parts; and (4) physical parts themselves.…”

Process models in design and development

Many models of the design and development process have been published over the years, representing it for different purposes and from different points of view. This article contributes an organising framework that clarifies the topology of the literature on these models and thereby relates the main perspectives that have been developed. The main categories of model are introduced. Their contexts, advantages, and limitations are considered through discussion of selected examples. It is demonstrated that the framework integrates coverage of earlier reviews and as such provides a new perspective on the literature. Finally, key characteristics of design and development process models are discussed considering their applications in practice, and opportunities for further research are suggested. Overall, the article should aid researchers in positioning new models and new modelling approaches in relation to state-of-the-art. It may also be of interest to practitioners and educators seeking an overview of developments in this area.

“…TTS classifies technical systems according to: (i) the main type of transformed quantity (material, energy, and information), (ii) their architectural and operational complexity, and (iii) level and type of abstraction applied to capture them. Many papers see TTS as the process of establishing (or designing) these kind of systems, which are, considering the philosophical interpretation of the terms, typically not complex, but complicated mechanical systems (actually, integral goal-object-process systems of a geometric-material nature) (Andreasen, 2011).…”

An initial categorization of foundational research in complex technical systems

There has been intense foundational research in complex technical systems (CTSs) over the last half century. These systems are exemplified by advanced mechatronics systems, embedded control systems, real-time systems, agent-based smart systems, distributed software systems, internet of things systems, and cyber-physical systems. The objective of this paper is to offer an initial cataloguing of the various research domains and to identify the major research issues. The paper has an ontological flavour, because it concentrates on what research has been and is being done, rather than on why and how research is done. The underpinning study has been done in three stages: (i) intuition-driven exploration of a reference set of related academic publications, (ii) evidence-based specification of a categorization of the domains and subdomains of research, and (iii) refinement and validation of the proposed classification based on a control set of related academic publications. The proposed reasoning model identifies three categories of research domains. The 'intellectualizations' category includes research domains such as: (i) philosophy, (ii) ontology, and (iii) epistemology of CTSs. The research domains included in the 'realizations' category are: (iv) methodology, and (v) creation of CTSs. The domains considered in the 'influences' category are: (vi) manifestations, and (vii) axiology of CTSs. Based on the proposed reasoning model a landscape of foundational research in CTSs is proposed for public debate. Our follow-up study focuses on the extension of the proposed classification to other families of complex engineered systems such as sociotechnical systems and social ecosystems.
