Abstract:When scaling up the development of a Product-Service System (PSS), involving many stakeholders, and collaborating with multiple development partners, managing product development information is a challenge. The combination of mechanical design, electronics design, firmware development, and software development plays a key role in this information management difficulty. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), when combined with concepts from other fields such as Quality and Configuration Management can help in tackling this issue. However, there exists little guidance in realizing PLM in product development. To this aim, a PLM methodology was developed forWavin Technology & Innovation (T&I). This methodology contains methods and prescriptions to manage the information of a PSS across its lifecycle, bound by central principles. Furthermore, a PSS development metamodel is included, structuring the information types and their traceability. The methodology is based on Wavin T&I product development through the combination of existing tools and implemented using an interactive handbook in the form of a website. The result is an improved shared understanding of the product definition and plans across project stakeholders. Overall, the methodology provides a stepping stone in PLM application and can be adapted to other companies scaling up their development efforts.
