Model-based support for Product-Service System planning

The presented planning model and its implementation in a visualization tool help the Product-Service System (PSS) planner to maintain an overview of the system, the relations between its elements and further necessary information. In that manner, it is possible for the PSS-planner to modularize the portfolio, depict variants and derive structured PSS from the entire portfolio. Finally, short-, middle- and long-term planning horizons can be depicted within the model. For evaluation of the model, it was used to support the planning phase of the development of a pedelec sharing concept.      «
