Abstract

Digital-enabled product service systems (PSS) enable the overall improvement of multi-actor value streams by increasing the system efficiency and thus enabling a shared value for all actors. This work aims to provide a new approach to designing data models in digital-enabled PSS. The approach addresses key challenges in designing effective PSS by presenting the source target link matrix (STLM) concept. The STLM enables the identification of primary data sources and the determination of the minimal set of data transfers needed, ensuring that PSS are designed efficiently and effectively. The STLM approach can be fully integrated into the design process, enabling managers to validate the completeness and feasibility of their PSS designs. In summary, this approach provides a valuable tool for managers looking to design effectively and ensure collaboration and integration between different areas of expertise.
