A MODEL BASED APPROACH FOR CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT-SERVICE SYSTEMS

Industrial Product-Service Systems (IPS2) are characterised by the integration of investment goods (technical products) and industrial services along their entire lifecycle. Against the background of sustainable value creation, while providing a performance is set above the purchase of pure technical products, an IPS2 constitutes a suitable solution. It can comprise any combination of product and service shares. Once such an offer has been planned, the IPS2 concept development is responsible for generating principle solutions that meet customer-specific requirements. This paper presents a model-based approach to support an IPS2 designer generating heterogeneous IPS2 concept models in the early phase of IPS2 development. The proposed modelling approach allows the combination of multidisciplinary solution elements on arbitrary levels of abstraction from different development perspectives. The heterogeneous IPS2 concept modelling approach has been implemented as a software demonstrator and has been evaluated solving a typical IPS2 issue.
