Journal Article
Vasantha, G. V. A., Roy, R., Lelah, A., & Brissaud, D. (2012). A review of product-service systems design methodologies. Journal of Engineering Design, 23(9), 635-659. https://doi.org/10.1080/09544828.2011.639712

Product–service systems (PSS), motivated to fulfil customers’ needs, are seen as good strategies to face today's competitive business environment. The field of PSS research is however not fully mature and many different methodologies are proposed for... Read More about A review of product-service systems design methodologies.

Industry Practices and Challenges in Using Product in Use Data to Inform PSS Conceptual Design (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussain, R., Lockett, H., & Vasantha, G. A. (2011). Industry Practices and Challenges in Using Product in Use Data to Inform PSS Conceptual Design. In Functional Thinking for Value Creation: Proceedings of the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industr

Both Product-Service System (PSS) literature and industry express a need to close the design loop by feeding product-in-use data to conceptual design. Nevertheless, how to actually accomplish this for PSS Conceptual Design is largely absent. This pap...

Problem definition in designing product service systems (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Annamalai Vasantha, G., Roy, R., & Cakkol, M. (2011). Problem definition in designing product service systems. In Functional Thinking for Value Creation: Proceedings of the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems (105-110)

In these early stages of PSS research, it is necessary to define a holistic problem definition for designing productservice systems (PSS). In this paper, the current industrial practice of the problem definition within PSS is analyzed and presented.... Read More about Problem definition in designing product service systems.
