“…By using recent advances in ICT, theoretically, all the important production-related information is available and manageable in a controlled, user-dependent way [18]. Product-related information can follow the products throughout their life-cycles [19] [20] [21]. Earlier, it became evident that the management and exploitation of this huge amount of information cannot be imagined without the effective application of the methods and tools of artificial intelligence [22] [22] [24], or more specifically, machine learning techniques [25].…”

The emerging paradigm of agent-based computation has revolutionized the building of intelligent and decentralized systems. The new technologies met well the requirements in all domains of manufacturing where problems of uncertainty and temporal dynamics, information sharing and distributed operation, or coordination and cooperation of autonomous entities had to be tackled. In the paper software agents and multi-agent systems are introduced and through a comprehensive survey, their potential manufacturing applications are outlined. Special emphasis is laid on methodological issues and deployed industrial systems. After discussing open issues and strategic research directions, we conclude that the evolution of agent technologies and manufacturing will probably proceed hand in hand. The former can receive real challenges from the latter, which, in turn, will have more and more benefits in applying agent technologies, presumably together with well-established or emerging approaches of other disciplines.

“…changing the process of their R&D project evaluation to focus on customer value rather than to be "technology push"-oriented (Sakao et al, 2011). In addition, in order to meet customer needs, manufacturers continuously improve the functionality of their products, even in the use phase, due to reasons such as the unfeasibility of designing a perfect product, rapid changes in the customer's needs and the emergence of new technologies (Takata et al, 2004). Thus, it is crucial for a manufacturer to align R&D projects with customer value, not only prior to the design phase but also in the use phase.…”

II 1 Cover artThe cover of this thesis was chosen to illustrate the meaning of the thesis title. The gears represent the industrial aspects of the thesis, while the number and interconnectivity of the gears show the complexity and systematic aspects. Each gear can influence the other parts, even if they are not directly connected. Some gears are not well designed or connected with the rest, which indicates the need for a design method to make the whole system coherent and integrated. The cover is hand-drawn to emphasize the fact that management knowledge has some artistic features in its nature, which often are gained through experience and not always through reading books and scientific journals.1 Bonnie Jean Woolger, the designer of the cover art, describes herself as "an artist who lives and works in Decatur Ga. U.S.A. I studied drawing and printmaking at the Atlanta College of Art. My work is filled with repeating patterns. I find my way into the complex beginning with one or maybe several simple shapes that through layering and repetition build their own new form. " III AbstractOver the last decade, manufacturing firms have shown increasing interest to shift from selling physical products to providing solutions for customer needs. Several concepts, such as the Integrated Product Service Offering (IPSO), have been developed to support these companies.This thesis sheds additional light on aspects and consequences of applying the SPIPS (Solution Provider through Integrated Product Service development), an IPSO design method for a Complex Product Systems (CoPS) provider through a case study. The thesis reveals that a CoPS provider could benefit by applying the SPIPS method in terms of improving the environmental performance of CoPS, creating synergy between the SPIPS method and other managerial systems (e.g. Customer Value Management (CVM) and Research & Development (R&D) management) and service-related knowledge integration in the product development process.The SPIPS method can contribute to the environmental performance of CoPS to a wide extent. In the design phase, the most influential phase, the IPSO design method can provide different options to address the environmental performance of CoPS. In the use phase, with the highest environmental impact, the SPIPS method can facilitate the design of different services which could outperform existing technological solutions for changing physical products in terms of contribution to the environmental performance of CoPS.Furthermore, the SPIPS method can support CVM through developing analytical trees for customer values. Through evaluating the correlation between design parameters and finding the most important ones, designers can focus on the "hot spot" and managers can assign resources in an effective and efficient way. The customer-centric feature of the IPSO concept can also contribute to CVM in terms of improving the process of evaluating customer value, and by providing customized offerings to meet customer needs.In addition, based on the SPIPS method a proc...

Product/service-systems (PSS) are in effect an approach to designing integrated products and services with a focus on both customer activities and product life cycle considerations. Literature offers a range of serviceoriented design strategies from product-oriented DfX approaches to more customer-oriented approaches such as integrated solutions and service design. These design strategies are mapped out in relation to how applicable they are to different types of services. Case studies from two industrial companies are used to confront the existing literature in order to begin to understand how manufacturing companies may align their business strategies with their product and service development activities.
