Abstract
Product-Service Systems (PSS) are regarded as an attractive business concept for manufacturing companies to enhance the value of their products. As both tangible products and intangible services are included in the design space, various alternatives have to be considered when it comes to developing design solutions for PSS, especially in the conceptual design phase. Therefore, in PSS design, designers require a broader range of knowledge to generate several design solution ideas. Taken this issue into consideration, a PSS conceptual design support system is developed in this paper. The basic feature of the system is managing and reusing case knowledge of PSS. The design support system is developed on the basis of the analysis results of the PSS design experiment. The effectiveness of the proposed system was analyzed using an example application.
