This year, the watchwords will be interdisciplinarity and openness to new approaches and experiences in the field of PSS!

Papers stemming from economics, management and social sciences are welcome, as well as practical experiences presented either by scientists or industrialist and managers (cf. industrial day below).

Dialogue between disciplines, scientists and practitioners will be furthered all through the conference.

Best paper/presentation awards will be attributed as well as paper selection for special issues in academic journals.

 

The scope of the conference addresses the theme “Industry transformation for sustainability and business”, thus putting the focus on two specific issues:

  • The transformations needed to implement and boost Industrial Product Service Systems , both at the firm level (Servitization) and at the territory level (Ecosystem), which cover multiple dimensions : Business model transformation, Collaborative behaviour enhancement, Cultural changes, Consumption model evolution , etc.
  • The needs and difficulties to integrate sustainability and business innovation, which puts forth the requirements for new sustainability assessment methods to address the complexity and diversity of PSS, together with the need to carefully manage the conditions for their positive externalities.

 

85 selected papers within 22 scientific sessions, covering a wide range of major PSS topics:

  • Strategy, Marketing and Business Models
  • PSS Design and Engineering
  • Sustainability and PSS
  • PSS case studies and lessons from experience
  • Customer Analysis for PSS
  • Cost Structures and Economic Models
  • Organisational issues and transition management
  • Organisation competencies and capabilities

Product/Service-Systems as the key to customer insight, product differentiation and increased sustainability performance.

Keywords

Product/service-systems (PSS), sustainability, eco-innovation

Short Abstract

PRODUCT/SERVICE-SYSTEMS (PSS) is an innovation strategy, where a greater integration of products and services has the potential to decouple business success and economic growth from mere product sales. Instead of viewing a product as an isolated entity, the PSS design activity focuses on creating the right combination of products and services, needed to aid the customer in reaching their goal. Examples of PSS are emerging in a broad range of markets, from large industrial and heavy industries to solutions on the commercial and consumer product markets.
Incorporating service thinking into the product development process gives rise to new innovation opportunities; the product has the opportunity of being made more robust throughout its life cycle (i.e. it is ‘Designed for Service’) and the customers’ entire needs and activities are considered and catered for, from the very beginning of the development process. Moreover, a PSS solution has great potential to deliver functionality to the user in a more effective and therefore environmentally optimised manner.
But how to design a product/service-system? What’s the difference between PSS development and traditional product development? And is it a given, that PSS design is the same as sustainable design..?
Based on a series of empirical research insights, industrial examples and student cases, this keynote lecture will focus on the engineer’s role in developing PSS solutions, paying particular attention to the necessary methodology to support the product development process, when more than just physical artefacts are to be developed and where service and functionality become the principal design objects. A reflection will be made regarding the sustainability potential of PSS, provoking a re-assessment of our assumptions and pre-conceptions of the field.

Making and Sustaining the Shift to Services: Emerging Practices

Keywords

Servitization, shift to services, service transformations

Short Abstract

The upsurge of Services in our modern economy has positioned Servitization as one of the strategic research priorities. Firms engaging in this important strategic transition need to understand the rationale and urgency behind the shift, but more importantly to recognise and acknowledge the service journey that they will experience in the future. This speech addresses the current problems and challenges that firms face, then presents the emerging models to support firms in the transition towards services. Illustration of exemplar cases from large multinationals such as CAT, MAN, Endress+Hauser, Zoetis, GEA and Pearson will be discussed.

Key aspects of this keynote will cover:
- Service adoption
- Why do firms shift to services?
- How do they shift?
- What is their service journey
- Illustration of exemplar practices

Répondre à une demande actuelle et future de mobilité durable et à des usages différenciés par secteur d’activités et type de clients

Short Abstract

French version below

For many years, Michelin has been referred to as a pioneer in deploying a strategy of integrated product-service offering, by both academics and practitioners at national and international levels. However, little is actually known about the reasons that pushed persuaded? Michelin to make this choice, the way these sustainable mobility solutions were implemented, their organizational consequences, or the competitive position of Michelin. A feedback from experience and a discussion about the main lessons learned will be shared with the audience.

French version

Michelin est, depuis de nombreuses années, très régulièrement cité comme un exemple emblématique de déploiement d'une stratégie d'offre intégrée produits-services, aussi bien dans les travaux français qu'internationaux, par les académiques comme par les praticiens. Cependant, peu de choses sont réellement connues sur les raisons qui ont poussé Michelin à faire ce choix, la manière dont ces offres de mobilité durable ont été mises en œuvre, les conséquences organisationnelles, mais aussi en termes de positionnement concurrentiel ou de satisfaction de la demande de mobilité. Un retour d'expérience et une réflexion sur les principaux enseignements à en tirer seront partagés avec l'auditoire.

Game 1: Integrating product- and service dominated logics - A PSS Management Simulation
A session convened by Thomas Süße & Bernd-Friedrich Voigt (Ruhr-University Bochum)

The PSS (Product-Service Systems) business simulation is a challenging computer-based, but realistic learning and teaching environment for practitioners as well as for academics. Participants will be in charge of a virtual business division which provides integrated solutions along customer specific life-cycles. The key to delivering a profitable customer use value lies in an optimized coordination of decisions taken by a service-unit and a product-unit. A graphical PSS management cockpit integrates key performance indicators from both units and supports participants in analyzing results and effects of their PSS management decisions. This learning-by-doing simulation sets up a realistic PSS model to train business-related experience in an interactive, highly dynamic and risk-free manner.

Game 2: B to green
B2 Green is an educational game focused on innovation and eco-innovation mechanisms. It allows understanding how the environment could open new innovation horizons. B2 Green consists of a board game, a debrief, and a training sequence. The game simulates a 5 year period where the players take the roles of innovation managers within different companies developing and marketing new products. Their aim is to gain the biggest market share through offering the best product. Each of the users may acquire new technologies, marketing strategies, and eco-design to take advantage over the competitors. The innovation strategies of the player depend on the economical context. The game is then structured into three steps: innovation investments, product development, and market share assignment. 

Game 3: WipSim - Work In Process SIMulation
WIP-SIM is an engineering tool for automating tedious and complex calculations needed to size and optimize pull production lines with constant work-in-progress. To this end, WIP-SIM uses different production management concepts, such as Queuing Theory and Theory of Constraints. This tool has been gradually enriched with new functions to suit user needs resulting in newly added tools such as, Value Stream Mapping and a view of the factory layout with calculating average distances traveled by components.

The Spring School is organized by Grenoble INP in collaboration with Ecole des Mines (with 3 days in Grenoble and the last day in St Etienne) with a 4 days full program covering following major themes: Modelling, Performance assessment and Design of PSS.

This spring school is offered to train PhD students, researchers and early career practitioners in the key challenges and technologies for sustainable product-service system design. It will also help to develop an international research community in the area.

https://ips2-2015.sciencesconf.org/

This community puts together researchers and research groups from Denmark, France, Germany, Japan and Sweden around PSS design research related themes e.g. Product Service System (PSS) engineering, Service Engineering (SE), Integrated Product Service Engineering (IPSE) and Functional Sales (FS).

The PSS Design community aims to share and spread information about world class research in the area since 2005. The annual meeting of the community will be organized on the occasion of IPSS’2015.

This meeting is a closed members-only meeting.

For further information concerning the PSS Design Research Community: https://www.pssdesignresearch.org/.

The aim of this workshop is to give participants an experience of “system” design in PSS development. Product-Service Systems (PSS) require various resources to meet customer needs. To realize a PSS, its provider needs to make a collaboration and cooperation network with other actors who have different strengths and aims. In this workshop, participants will experience the advantage and difficulty of collaboration and cooperation through some group works. In this workshop, we make 3 groups of participants. Each group plays a role of different firms. By using our tools, each group designs an actor network including other groups, and then negotiates with other groups to develop the designed network.
