Abstract
Design of sustainable product service system (PSS) is a means for the manufacturing industry to develop business models for sustainable production and consumption through collaborations among the stakeholders involved in them. Life cycle simulation (LCS) is a crucial tool to evaluate the monetary flows among the stakeholders and material and product flows during the life cycles of products. This chapter presents LCS used for the design and analysis of sustainable PSS. This chapter presents the usefulness of LCS for the design and analysis of business models in the manufacturing industry regarding the profit of both manufacturers and product users. This chapter first explains PSS design process and computational support employed in the process. As a part of computational support, the chapter explains LCS focusing on the simulation mechanism, theoretical background, and applications. Finally, the chapter applies LCS to the evaluation and comparison of seven business models of a manufacturer of machine tools for mold component production. The business models include service-oriented business model, functional sales, and shared services, which are discussed in related PSS study as well as the traditional sales-based business model.
