Needs and requirements – how TRIZ may be applied in product-service development

Needs and requirements – how TRIZ may be applied in product-service development

Research paper published in Proceedings of the 2nd Nordic Conference on Product Lifecycle Management – NordPLM’09. Abstract In Product-Service Systems development, understanding of the customers’ use of goods seems vital, since the product per se is not sold but rather the performance it brings to the customers’ processes in terms of added value. This changed business scenario insists on an...

Simulation of Functional Products on a Sustainability Driven Market | 2008-2011

Knowledge Foundation and VINNOVA together with partner companies PROJECT SUMMARY The purpose is to develop an integrated approach to SPD (Sustainable Product Development) and FPD (Functional Product Development). The primary focus is on simulation support for prediction of risks and opportunities of extended value-chain cooperation around a full product life-cycle commitment. This is intended as input for prioritizations in product...

ProViking THINK – Teams for Heterogeneous Innovation Knowledge | 2008-2012

 Project summary The concept of product-service system (PSS), or functional product development, will be a main component in a future sustainable society. A PSS paradigm will, not only, change the use of products and services, but also the development approaches. This since the responsibility of the physical artefact throughout the life-cycle is remaining with the providing enterprise. The perspectives of...
