Study on collaborative design methodologies of product service systems

To support product service systems (PSSs) design, a multiple layer collaborative design infrastructure is proposed to enable the transfer of the design thinking from creating products to creating services. The concept of design for service (DFS) is put forward. And design for maintenance service (DFMS), design for repair service (DFRS), design for remanufacturing (DFRM), design for recycling (DFRC) and PSS collaborative design platform are regarded as key methodologies and studied. Future works in this field is also discussed to guide related studies.
