A manufacturing framework for capability-based product-service systems design (2013)
Journal Article
Gokula Vijaykumar, A. V., Komoto, H., Hussain, R., Roy, R., Tomiyama, T., Evans, S., …Williams, S. (2013). A manufacturing framework for capability-based product-service systems design. Journal of Remanufacturing, 3(1), 1-32. https://doi.org/10.1186/221

Manufacturers aim to design product-service systems (PSS) which integrate services with products to attain sustained competitive advantage from a life cycle perspective. PSS design should be customer-adjusted solutions which are aligned to integrated... Read More about A manufacturing framework for capability-based product-service systems design.

Requirements for Computer-Aided Product-Service Systems Modeling and Simulation (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Hussain, R., Roy, R., & Corney, J. (2013). Requirements for Computer-Aided Product-Service Systems Modeling and Simulation. In ICoRD'13: Global Product Development (773-784). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-81-322-1050-4_61

The design of product-service systems (PSS) is a co-production process which involves the manufacturer, customer and suppliers as well as any other stakeholders. This multi-organizational, collaborative environment along with the unique tangible and... Read More about Requirements for Computer-Aided Product-Service Systems Modeling and Simulation.

Servitization in laser job shops : interviews with laser job shops and machine providers (2012)
Journal Article
Vasantha, G., Hussain, R., Roy, R., Williams, S., & Lockett, H. (2012). Servitization in laser job shops : interviews with laser job shops and machine providers. The Laser User Magazine, 65,

Manufacturers often outsource laser cutting to laser job shops which will cut components to fairly tight deadlines and budgets. However, the concept of laser cutting as a way to improve manufacturing output is no longer novel; it has now been 'commod...

A framework to inform PSS Conceptual Design by using system-in-use data (2012)
Journal Article
Hussain, R., Lockett, H., & Annamalai Vasantha, G. V. (2012). A framework to inform PSS Conceptual Design by using system-in-use data. Computers in Industry, 63(4), 319-327. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compind.2012.02.013

Both the Product-Service System (PSS) literature and industry express a need to close the design loop by using product-in-use data to inform PSS Conceptual Design. Nevertheless, how to actually accomplish this is largely unknown. This research makes... Read More about A framework to inform PSS Conceptual Design by using system-in-use data.
