Description
The design and evaluation of Product-Service
Systems (PSS) constitute a challenging problem due to its multidimensionality.
This challenge becomes bigger when the PSS
customization is required, within the new manufacturing
paradigm of Industry 4.0. Nevertheless, the literature work
regarding the customization of PSS and the PSS investigation
within the Industry 4.0 is rare. Towards bridging these gaps, the
present research work proposes a methodology for the
quantification of PSS customization complexity, considering
Industry 4.0 aspects. The proposed metrics are validated in
different product-service scenarios.
