Designing Value-Robust Product-Service Systems by Incorporating Changeability: A Reference Framework

Abstract When a Product-Service System (PSS) has a longer lifecycle, it is subjected to several internal and external changes along its path that may deteriorate its value. A PSS capable of delivering value despite the circumstances is called a value robust PSS, and one way of achieving value robustness is by incorporating changeability. A lot […]

A Framework to Address Complexity and Changeability in the Design of Circular Product-Service Systems

Abstract The design of a circular PSS solution goes beyond the traditional perspective of circular product design encompassing multiple complexity dimensions that need to be considered and addressed in the early stages of design. The paper provides a literature-based outlook on the levels of complexity to be faced when making decisions in early PSS design […]

Digitial Twins at ForskarFredag

Marco Bertoni and Giulia Wally Scurati presented current research on digital twins during ForskarFredag at Kreativum in Karlshamn. The station showed the journey from the classical physical mechanical prototypes to modern digital models twinned to their physical counterpart. Students and public had the chance to experience Virtual Reality tools and to play with the simulation […]
