An Ontology-based Approach for Product-Service System Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Companies developing physical products are challenged to find solutions through services as a means of innovative value-added solutions to support customer's needs. Designing integrated product and service systems to increase customer satisfaction requires the ability of companies to use knowledge in a more efficient way. However, the knowledge representation of product-service systems (PSS) remains an open issue. Current PSS representations are limited to one aspect be it user requirements, value or function. This paper proposes the use of ontologies as means for representing product-service systems. Ontologies are used in a case-based reasoning (CBR)-based support system. The CBR system enables the user to find PSS examples that could be used as a reference for new problems. This paper discusses the advantages of the proposed approach in conjunction with a case study.

Service Level Based Capacity Rationing Procedure for Make-To-Order Manufacturing Systems
We extend a heuristic method within the framework of “dynamic capacity apportionment procedure” (DCAP) to allocate an existing capacity among the classes with different profit contributions. In general, DCAP is applied when some capacity shortage exists and can not be enhanced in short - run. Our proposed approach is constructed for a make - to - order manufacturing system that produces a varie...

متن کاملOntology-based similarity for product information retrieval
Product development of today is becoming increasingly knowledge intensive. Specifically, design teams face considerable challenges in making effective use of increasing amounts of information. In order to support product information retrieval and reuse, one approach is to use case-based reasoning (CBR) in which problems are solved ‘‘by using or adapting solutions to old problems.’’ In CBR, a ca...
متن کاملAutomatic Workflow Generation and Modification by Enterprise Ontologies and Documents
This article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. This dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. It also suggests...
