Three-level model of indastrial product-service system

Abstract

In this article, a possible approach towards the research of industrial product-service system (IPSS) is discussed. This approach is based on three-level model. Upper level of IPSS is generated by motivation and the purpose of its existence. Middle level (level of production elements) forms technical support of IPSS. This level comprises product and service components, as well as integrated infrastructure. On the Lower level are technologies that are applied in the system. On the level of goals strategic goals, IPSS goals and qualitative goals are analyzed. On the level of production elements product manufacture is described by Munich model, that is comprised of three parts: functional model, action model and construction model. Similarly, provision of services is presented: functional and resource models and processes model. This article shows how IPSS contributes to perfection of applied technologies and implementation of new ones.
