Product-Service Systems are appealing both from an economic and societal perspective. In spite of several successful examples - from A(BB) to X(erox) - their uptake remains limited and companies are found to struggle when attempting to shift from traditional one-sale models to PSS. This raises the demand for strategies, methods and support tools to guide the design process towards value adding solutions. This aim of the SIG is then to investigate the issue of ‘well-conceived, intentionally designed, and efficiently developed PSS’, collecting and supporting research work that contributes to the renewal of the PSS Design discipline.
The 'P53: Product-Service Systems #3 -ONLINE' course is given by Blekinge Institute of Technology, University of Turku, Luleå University of Technology, University of Tokyo and Technical University of Denmark, kicking-off in October 2023
The workshop will involve participants in the discussion on the use of Extended Reality (XR) technologies for the design of PSS.
ChatGPT is a powerful language model that can be (also) used to answer questions relevant for this SIG, providing accurate and detailed information on a wide range of topics related to the PSS design process. How does it perform? Discover it here!
How shall PSS be ' intentionally' designed to foster responsible consumption? Have a look at the highlights fo the DESIGN'22 workshop.
'Product-Service Systems' is an ONLINE ONLY course (7,5 credits) that targets PhD students, young investigators and industrial practitioners - to provide an overview of strategies, methods and tools for PSS design. The course is free of charge.
The main goal of this workshop is to investigate the issue of how to ‘intentionally design’ PSS in a way to promote responsible consumption and resource preserving behaviours among consumers.
Here a collection of PSS-related papers published at the 23rd International Conference on Engineering Design 2021
At ICED 21 more than 20 experts have been gathering in a workshop to discuss the answer to the following question: 'Do Smart PSS make the Voice of the Customer louder and clearer?'
Have a look at the journals that were shortlisted by the SIG Steering Committee members, answering the question of ‘where to publish PSS research?’.
Smart PSS can increase the designers' ability to know more about ‘what do customer wants’ by collecting data from all different phases of the product lifecycle. Is this the dawn of more 'analogue' need-finding activities?
Learn how to develop and prototype radical, transformative PSS that realize 10x increases in productivity and efficiency.
