Integration of Scenarios in Product-service System Development - Combining Scenarios, Use Cases and Requirements Traceability

In product development, a current innovation driver is the integration of services through a shift towards product-service systems (PSS). Therefore, products are extended by additional services, whereas this discipline integration, combined with a necessary future oriented perspective, requires a systematic support for planning and handling complexity. In this context, increasing transparency as well as a better preparation for future evolvements are key aspects. This contribution supports with a procedure that connects the systematic analysis of the future environment with the product-service system and a corresponding case study. Requirements traceability based on a PSS-model is applied to support the impact assessment of future contextual influences on the PSS. Thereby, planning information is transferred into an engineering perspective.
