Life Cycle Oriented Quality Assessment of Technical Product-Service Systems

Metrics definition for the product-service system complexity within mass customization and industry 4.0 environment

“…More precisely, after generalizing the criteria of PSS and customization development, key elements of the customization development procedures in PSS were identified, leading to a customization development procedure for PSS. Waltemode et al [21] presented a framework for life-cycle-oriented quality assessment of PSS. Business sustainability is inseparable with the offered quality.…”

“…The globalization and market uncertainty is directly proportional to the complexity of manufacturing systems. Thus, complexity modelling and management constitute significant objects of interest and research [21].…”

The Concept of Products and Services Integration – Analysis of Scientific Publications

“…Table 4. Different aspects of PSS discussed in scientific publications (Source: own elaboration) Classification (Tukker 2004;Gaiardelli et al 2014) Cost estimation (Roy, Erkoyuncu 2011) Delivery (Morlock et al 2014) Designing (Aurich et al 2008;Geum, Park 2011;Maussang et al 2007) Evaluation method for designing (Yoon et al 2012) Development (Tan et al 2007;Tan 2010;Boughnim, Yannou 2005;Morelli 2006) Engineering (Pezzotta et al 2012; Integrated knowledge management (Dongmin et al 2012) Planning (Steven, Richter 2010) Quality assessment (Waltemode et al 2012) Requirement analysis (Durugbo 2013) Review papers (Mont, Tukker 2006;Reim et al 2015;Oliveira et al 2015;Baines et al 2007;Beuren et al 2013) Sustainability (Maxwell et al 2006;Vezzolli et al 2014) Validation (Exner et al 2014) Classification (Tukker 2004;Gaiardelli et al 2014) Cost estimation (Roy, Erkoyuncu 2011) On the basis of these findings the yet unexplored topics can be determined as well as future challenges and, most of all, needs. But also, the authors experienced in specific area of research may be identified.…”
