Abstract

Product‐service system (PSS) is proposed as a response to the increasing need for sustainable solutions. To provide PSS, companies develop a customized system interconnecting heterogeneous systems. Consequently, distinguishing and modeling the interfaces in PSS is challenging because of the heterogeneity of its tangible and intangible components and their continuous interactions. To tackle this issue, this paper presents a contribution to interface definition in PSS architecture. It aims at proposing a conceptual model supporting the definition and classification of the interfaces in PSS architecture as a system of systems. Based on systems engineering recommendations, the model defines the interfaces between subsystems and components. The application of the model is illustrated by a pragmatic use case concerning a station‐less bicycle‐sharing system.
