Tutorial 5 - Methods and Tools for Integrated Development of Product-Service Systems

Tutorial Session Presented by

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Birgit Vogel-Heuser, Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar, Mohammad Basirati and Minjie Zou

Abstract

In the context of digitization, Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical (production) systems, collaborative innovation management is a key factor for successful positioning in global competition. This requires an optimal design and handling of innovation processes under consideration of cyclical influencing factors, to support companies in the development of complex product service systems across disciplines. Under this background, following questions will be addressed in this tutorial:

  • How can heterogeneous knowledge sources (expert knowledge, technical systems, document knowledge) be integrated and used effectively in dynamic environments?
  • How can we identify interdependencies among large set of requirements from different disciplines and departments?
  • How can changes be identified and tracked to support optimal decision making in a dynamic marketplace?
  • How can networked systems be integrated? How can the same information be checked for (in-)consistency in different disciplines and industries?
The aim of this tutorial is to tackle the above-mentioned questions by introducing methods and tools which are developed within the Collaborative Research Center 768 – “Managing Cycles in Innovation Processes – Integrated Development of Product-Service Systems Based on Technical Products”.
