Novel Tools for Product-service System Engineering

Service Engineering: a novel engineering discipline for producers to increase value combining service and product

In order to pursue sustainability, commercial activities between the supply and demand sides must be somehow changed. In the context of eco-design, producers must need a much bigger framework than is available in current eco-design techniques. This calls for establishing a new discipline. This paper aims at proposing a novel engineering discipline for producers toward sustainable production and...

Modeling design objects in CAD system for Service/Product Engineering

This paper proposes a new type of service CAD system utilized in Service/Product Engineering (SPE), a much-needed and novel engineering discipline within the background of servicification. In this research a design-object model was defined, and a prototype named Service Explorer was implemented. The model represents critical concepts such as value, costs, functions either of products or of serv...

Evaluation Framework for Model-Driven Product Line Engineering Tools

Requirements for Automotive System Engineering Tools

The requirements to system and software development tools brought up by the automotive industry differ from the requirements that other customers have. The important catchwords here are heterogeneity of suppliers, tools, technical background of the engineers, and – partially resulting from the just mentioned – the overall complexity of the systems that are built up. There are multiple suppliers...
