LIFE PHASES MODULARISATION OF PRODUCT-SERVICE SYSTEMS

Abstract Product Service Systems (PSS) are increasingly important for companies. They enable a multitude of advantages, including the ability to offer customers even more individual customised solutions. However, PSS can also cause negative effects For example, increase complexity within In order cope with this complexity, modularisation is frequently suggested in literature. existing approaches only consider functional reasons module composition and neglect product-strategic aspects. This paper introduces new approach PSS, which combines aspects into one approach. To achieve this, separate modular structure developed each life phase. Following these harmonised across all phases. enables advantages be used A family laser processing machines illustrate
