Tools and methodologies for PSS design

ArticleContribution
Aurich et al. (2006) Life cycle oriented design method for PSS, including technical services (e.g. maintenance, retrofitting, refurbishing)
Morelli (2009) Methodological approach to design highly customized PSS based on the active participation of customers to the value production process
Shimomura et al. (2009) “Extended Service Blueprint”, a method that enables the design of PSS' service components during the early phase of product design
Lim et al. (2012) “PSS Board”, a structured tool to visualize the PSSs development process and to support their design. The “PSS board” is a matrix where customer activities, state of the products, services, dedicated infrastructures and partners are placed in rows, and the general PSS process steps are placed in columns
Pezzotta et al. (2012) “WinWin Spiral Model”, a PSS engineering process that considers the iteration process and the customer involvement with a comprehensive lifecycle perspective
Carreira et al. (2013) Extension of the Kansei engineering method to include the analysis of the different players that collaborate within the PSS and the study of the customer experience
Shimomura et al. (2015) Method for analyzing PSS conceptual design processes. The paper provides a PSS design process visualization scheme in which the design processes are analyzed in connection with an evaluation of design solutions
Chiu et al. (2018) A PSS system modeling technique for developing a systematic and complete PSS strategy. The proposed method integrates Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) with a service-product development matrix (SPDM) to identify the needs of customers and to design new PSS solutions
Zheng et al. (2018) Four-stage based design approach for service innovation of smart PSS. In detail, the four stages are: (i) platform development, (ii) data acquisition, (iii) data analytics for service innovation and (iv) digital twin-enabled service innovation
Andriankaja et al. (2018) Design method based on the extension of the Functional Analysis (FA) approach to make it consistent and fully applicable for PSS design
Pezzotta et al. (2018) “Product Service System Lean Design Methodology (PSSLDM)”, a structured methodology to develop PSSs along their entire lifecycle
Lee et al. (2019) “PRR Design Method”, explicit guidelines and a systematic design approach for the design of innovative Smart PSS
Pereira et al. (2019) Investigation on the distinctive pathways for PSS development
