Product-Service-System Modeling Method
Xavier Boucher, Khaled Medini and Hans-Georg Fill
Abstract This paper addresses enterprise modeling needs, in a specific field of
industrial management: the design and management of industrial
product-service-systems. During the last decade, the industrial sector has undergone
a change of the business model, through an increasing internalisation of service
activities in manufacturing companies. The objective of this chapter is to develop a
generic metamodel, which could be used to further develop IT support solutions for
the design and lifecycle management of product-service-systems. The specification
of this metamodel together with the associated modeling method are explained then
illustrated on an industrial case study.

1 Enterprise Modeling Needs, in the Field
of Product-Service-Systems
The need for a modeling method dedicated to the so-called product-service-systems
(PSS) has been directly pushed by changes in the industrial business. During the
last decade, the manufacturing industry has undergone a paradigm shift through the
development and spread of servitisation and PSS concepts. From the point of view
