PLM - Towards Smart Product Lifecycle Management with an Integrated Reconfiguration Management
Product Lifecycle Management and the Industry of the Future, 2017Co-Authors: Michael Abramovici, Philipp Savarino, Jens Christian Göbel, Philip GebusAbstract:Recent ICT innovations determine dramatically changes of traditional products towards intelligent, connected Smart Products. These product-related changes also imply the need for a fundamental adaption and enhancement of traditional Product Lifecycle Management approaches. Analyzing the main characteristics of Smart Products reveals that Lifecycle Management approaches for Smart Products especially have to extend their focus on the product use phase. A core challenge in this context is to provide suitable methods and IT tools for the reconfiguration of Smart Products across different engineering domains. This contribution introduces a conceptual approach for the reconfiguration of Smart Products, which considers the dynamical changes of virtual and physical product instances based on the virtual product twin. This approach was implemented and validated prototypically in a model-environment considering smart vehicles, that where temporarily reconfigured during their use phase.

Knowledge-Based Lifecycle Management Approach for Product Service Systems (PSS)
2013Co-Authors: Michael Abramovici, Youssef Aidi, Hoang DangAbstract:Product Service Systems (PSS) are new industrial offerings which integrate a product and related services into a customer-specific bundle and offer the customer an overall solution to a specific issue. The Lifecycle of PSS is characterized by merged product and service structures and a close interaction among the provider, the suppliers, and the customer, not only in the development phase but especially during the operation of PSS. Therefore a Lifecycle Management approach for PSS has to merge both the virtual and real (operational) Lifecycle of PSS. To reach that goal operational knowledge about a PSS instance must be gathered, aggregated, managed, and used by enhanced Lifecycle Management methods in order to support providers, suppliers, and customers by developing, delivering and operating PSS. The paper in hand presents a knowledge-based Lifecycle Management approach for PSS, which considers an ontological representation of PSS knowledge and 3 knowledge-based Lifecycle methods to make engineering processes adaptive, to provide the involved actors with the appropriate PSS knowledge and support the stakeholders in their decision making processes. The components of this approach have been identified as key Lifecycle Management methods for managing PSS. They are still being developed within the collaborative research center TR29 funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), who investigate the overall engineering of PSS.

Stakeholder Identification and Analysis for Service Lifecycle Management
International Journal of Web Services Research, 2014Co-Authors: Wenge Rong, Yuanxin Ouyang, Kecheng Liu, Zhang XiongAbstract:The convergence of information technology and diverse business requirements is making the organization information systems more complex. Quickly integrating existing systems and developing new applications to serve the requirement of flexible business environments have become a key factor for organizations to gain a competitive edge. To meet this challenge, the concept of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been proposed and widely lauded as an innovative business oriented solution. To better utilize SOA's advantages, several research problems should be attached much importance among which service Lifecycle Management is a notable one, which is one of the critical mechanisms leading to higher service quality. A large number of service Lifecycle models have been proposed in the literature while few of them clearly indicate the integration of the Lifecycle processes with stakeholders. In this research, a conceptual stakeholder identification and analysis framework is proposed by which stakeholders are analyzed within different service Lifecycle stages. It is believed that this method can offer the researchers in the community further insight into service Lifecycle Management from the stakeholder's perspective.

ICWS - Prioritised Stakeholder Analysis for Software Service Lifecycle Management
2013 IEEE 20th International Conference on Web Services, 2013Co-Authors: Wenge Rong, Yuanxin Ouyang, Kecheng Liu, Zhang XiongAbstract:During the process of building business agility, the concept of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is proposed and widely lauded as an innovative business oriented solution. One of the most fundamental components in SOA based applications is a service, which represents the repeatable business functionalities to help the development of loosely coupled applications. Due to its important role in implementing SOA based applications for achieving dynamic business process, how to build a scalable, reliable service efficiently has become a vital challenge, while the service Lifecycle Management becomes one of the critical mechanisms to ensure the service quality. Currently, there are a large number of service Lifecycle models proposed in the literature to fit their own purposes. However, few of them clearly indicate the integration of the Lifecycle processes with stakeholders. To meet this gap, in this research a conceptual stakeholder analysis framework is proposed to associate the stakeholders with different Lifecycle stages. It is believed that this method is able to offer the researchers in the community further insight into service Lifecycle Management from the stakeholder's perspective.

PLM - Servicization of Product Lifecycle Management: Towards Service Lifecycle Management
Product Lifecycle Management in the Era of Internet of Things, 2016Co-Authors: Fabien Mahut, Matthieu Bricogne, Joanna Daaboul, Benoît EynardAbstract:Part 6: Product Service SystemsInternational audienceNowadays, many manufacturing industries are operating a process of servicization, id est the build-up of services to a product-centered offer. The implementation of service engineering into product-related activities requires a company to adapt to the new stakes on several levels, including strategic approaches and information systems. Therefore, Service Lifecycle Management (SLM), similarly to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) might be defined as a way to take into consideration these new stakes, enabling Management of services in a holistic approach dealing with service data and their structure. Products and services can benefit from information exchanges from one to another. In the aeronautic industry, several companies have shown the relevancy of information spreading between product and service activities in a bidirectional manner. A serviced product is thus designed considering the use stage and its service operations, which permits the collection of valuable information to improve design processes. Nevertheless, there are few research works on the convergence of the solutions brought out by SLM and PLM. This paper analyses how those two strategic approaches might coincide with the Information System’s point of view in order to benefit from an effective interaction. A general analysis is presented at first. Then the paper focuses on the application of the paradigm of serviced products to the automotive industry

Concurrent Engineering, 2014Co-Authors: Emanuela A.s. Fielding, Benoît Eynard, John Mccardle, Nathan W. Hartman, Alister S. FraserAbstract:This paper is in closed access.Technological advances in the last decade have influenced changes in the design and engineering industries on a global scale. Lean and collaborative product development are approaches increasingly adopted by the industry and seen as the core of product Lifecycle Management. These trends have created the need for new skilled professionals, and universities should adapt their curricula in response. There is an increased need for academia to work with industry in order to meet these challenges. This article reports on the Parametric Technology Corporation Academic Research Symposium held in April 2011. The topics were centred around understanding the essence of product Lifecycle Management and its impact on design and engineering education. Furthermore, examples of implementing product Lifecycle Management and collaborative practices in higher education were presented from the United States and France. This article concludes with a discussion of the recommendations made at the symposium for the future development and support of key skills across university curricula. © The Author(s) 2014

Reframing of Product Position Rescues the Strategy at the Lifecycle Management
2014Co-Authors: Makoto Takayama, Tadashi TakayamaAbstract:This paper shows the role of reframing product position at the Lifecycle Management. From surveys on the products of the leaders, it became evident that win-lose is determined by the competitiveness between a new product and the marketed products of the leaders. The result is that existing products inhibit the development of indirectly competitive new products. To explain win-lose in the NPD, the role of “reframing product position” is proposed. The conclusion is that reframing product position rescues the strategy at the Lifecycle Management.
