“…This is consistent with the point that Japanese companies tend to be strongly integral, as a result of Architecturebased analysis of many products (Fujimoto, 2006). Some researchers have discussed objects that integrate products and services as a system (Dewit et al, 2021), but it is essential to discuss physical structures and soft artificial objects that do not appear as forms.…”

Currently, technologies related to the construction industry have increased in their complexities and garnered important advancements. However, the pandemic upset the entire structure of industries, including the construction industry. Hence, a precise prescription is required for a right future direction of the construction industry. This study aims to provide a method for understanding the fundamental characteristics of the building industry via industrial analysis. In this article, the “Architecture concept” is adopted as an academic tool of consideration and is carried out a practical analysis on the building industry to provide a novel perspective. Previous studies analyzed several industries in this “architectural concept.” However, the analysis based on this concept has not progressed significantly for the building industry. Because this concept was created focusing on architecture, it has a high affinity with the building industry. Therefore, with the cooperation of multiple experts, we categorized the building components and modularization of the production process according to the selected indicators; then, we investigated the trends of the entire Japanese building industry. By analyzing the results of this survey, one can understand the basic correlation between the physical modularity of components and the independence of the design information creation process. This study contributes to providing the method to understanding the fundamental characteristics of the building industry and provides to presents the possibility of inter-industry and inter-regional comparisons from this perspective.

“…The role of the PSS designing phase to improve the PSS integration process as well as the role of SCM in the development of PSS business model have been neglected in the literature (Ferreira et al, 2022;Dewit et al, 2021;Alkalha et al, 2022;Kreye and van Donk, 2021). In fact, MFs are still struggling in the achievement of an IPSO and hence missed the opportunity to provide an appropriate customer solution.…”

PurposeManufacturing firms (MFs) nowadays are struggling to design and maintain an integrated product-service offer. This paper aims to explore the role of the supply chain (SC) in the design of the Product-Service System (PSS). In particular, the study focuses on the Design for Supply Chain (DfSC) approach in order to understand its role and contribution to the Design for Product Service Supportability (DfPSSu) approach in supporting PSS design.Design/methodology/approachBased on the multiple-case study approach, this paper used in-depth-interviews method to collect primary data from four multinational car manufacturers and two academic researchers.FindingsThe study reveals how a better design of the SC is required for the development of a service supportability approach that, in turn, facilitates the design of the PSS. Additionally, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies support MFs to analyse the ongoing development of the PSS business model. Finally, a better design of PSS is essential for strengthening the integration of Product and Service Offerings.Practical implicationsThis study suggests that MFs can build dynamic SC capabilities to deal with fundamental changes that occurred when adopting servitization.Originality/valueThis paper is among the first attempts to study the design process of the PSS business model in a real business context taking into account different design strategies.

“…Tools and methods to support PSS design exist in different formats. However, there is a big difference in having the right tools, having the competences to act on them and being able to question the overall approach independently [1,2]. In a learning context, students are taught the 'PSS Design Toolkit' [3] which provides an opportunity to create innovative interactions between consumers, the products and services they use, and the providers offering them.…”

One issue within current product development literature entails, both with students and with professionals, the reliable scaling, and the objective assessment of products. This article will attempt to describe a way how master's students at the University of Antwerp, within a product development case, can both assess each other, assess the process of product development, and assess the final product using comparative judgement (CJ). This, while achieving learning goals described at master level. Our evaluation was anchored by use of Comproved, a validated instrument designed to comparatively evaluate products of students, during the design process (formative) and when uploading the final deliverables (summative) for the course. The current study evaluates how first year Master students (n=72) apply CJ using an online tool, Comproved (Comproved.com) during a semester-long group project on Product-Service System (PSS) design. Based on post hoc questionnaire details and interviews, we will list the advantages and the disadvantages of CJ, as stated by students. Finally, we will list the potentials of CJ during product development cycles and their impact on product quality, reliability of judgement and metacognitive strategies for learning.
