A product-service system (PSS) is a combination of products and services to create value for both customers and manufacturers. Modelling a PSS based on function orientation offers a useful way to distinguish system inputs and outputs with regards to how data are consumed and information is used, i.e. information flow. This article presents a review of diagrammatic information flow tools, which are designed to describe a system through its functions. The origin, concept and applications of these tools are investigated, followed by an analysis of information flow modelling with regards to key PSS properties. A case study of selection laser melting technology implemented as PSS will then be used to show the application of information flow modelling for PSS design. A discussion based on the usefulness of the tools in modelling the key elements of PSS and possible future research directions are also presented.

“…They are integrated in the sense that output from the ® rst component serves directly as input to the others. Details of the knowledge-based system are given by Ang et al (1997b) and Luo (1998) . The system makes use of two expert systems: one to query the user for information on the company' s characteristics and to generate automatically an IDEF0 partial model for the company; the other to query the user based on the partial model generated for speci® c information on the company's activities and to transform automatically the partial model into a particular model (which is to be subject to validation) .…”

To completely describe a manufacturing system, several models are usually created, each from a di erent viewpoint. Traditionally, these models were created independently using di erent methodologies and in di erent environments. This approach poses many problems, for example, time-consumption, incompatibility between models, di culties in model maintenance, di culties in ensuring a seamless transition in the system development life cycle, etc. To overcome these problems, a comprehensive modelling methodology and its supporting software tool have been developed at Gintic. The methodology, termed IDEF*, is CIMOSAcompliant, IDEF0-based, and integrated. The purpose of this paper is to introduce to the readers these features of the methodology, and the structure and components of the software tool.
