Life Cycle Simulation for Analyzing Product Service Systems

Towards product-service systems modelling: a quest for dynamic behaviour and model parameters

“…The second consisted of modules modelled by sets of attributes, the other allocated customers according to types of packages and their behaviours. Another DES model was developed from a set of PSS objects and their subsequent transition/relationships (Komoto et al, 2005). The objects included service, service provider, service receiver, PSS events and the product.…”

PSS Production Systems: A Simulation Approach for Change Management

“…A lot of studies have a macroscopic view of the user behaviour faced with commercial offer and only model a global market volume, often timely constant. However, these simulations require a high level of description of the service offer: kind of customer product segmentation, contract term [3], service providing lead time [4]… Different kind of services, called industrial services [5] main be implicated.…”

“…and env.) of life cycles of products in use [3]. Discreet event simulation is mainly used in this case.…”

“…Discreet event simulation is mainly used in this case. These kind of models are supported by a detailed description of the product and its characteristics [3,6]: lifespan, maximum of operations per period, breakdown rate, wear-out propensity, reparability, reusability… The user is described through: a functionality need per period or usage intensity. Modeling the appearance of customer needs most often implies stochastic processes in order to characterize this uncertainty.…”

Data uncertainty assessment and information flow analysis for product-service systems in a library case study

“…Along with this, it offers the opportunity to conduct comparative analysis prior to a redesign scheme being put in place. Komoto et al (2005) contend that the wide spread adoption of the PSS approach will ultimately depend on the establishment of technically sound modelling methodologies. Driven by this assertion, this paper has attempted to identify and apply data uncertainty and information flow for a PSS.…”
