“…However, there are only a few such laboratory studies that provide quantitative and reproducible insights into the micro-scaled, cognitive dimension of conceptual PSS designing (e.g. Sakao, Paulsson and Mizuyama, 2011;Shimomura, Nemoto and Kimita, 2015). Despite the valuable contributions of these studies, the frames of analyses used, and the results derived are mainly specific to the PSS design process.…”

Cover conceptualized and designed by Shwetha VC and Abhijna Neramballi. The image of the brain represents the cognitive aspect of the research. While, the blue icons placed left of the brain represent the cognitive space of product design, the orange icons placed to the right of the brain represent the cognitive space of service design. The combination of the two cognitive spaces represents the cognitive space of product-service system design. The green icons of a magnifying glass and a compass arranged at the top of the brain represent descriptive and prescriptive dimensions of this research, respectively. The green icon of the hand with the sapling represents the practical implications of this research in terms of enhanced environmental performance of industrial activities.

“…On the other hand, the term "design elements" is unstructured and varied. Some authors employ this term to refer to the solution dimensions (such as offering, provider, and customer) (Ritola and Coatanéa, 2013); to engineering components, possibly extending it to other dimensions, such as aesthetics, function, and ergonomics (Noble and Kumar, 2008;Rosenman and Gero, 1996); or as a synonym for information (design ontology), citing that some of the design elements may be needs, requirements, product functions, service processes, and stakeholders networks (Kimita and Shimomura, 2012;Shimomura et al, 2015).…”

This paper is contextualized in a research project that aims to create a new paradigm to support the design process, substituting the sequential nature of design process models by a flexible structure. To implement this paradigm, we must identify the final and intermediate results of the design process, such as documents, models, artefacts, among others. However, design research is wide and multidisciplinary, resulting in non-uniformity of the terminology across research communities, what hinders the results identification by means of a literature review. This paper aims to identify the terms employed by different research communities to refer to the intermediate and final results of the design process, structuring synonym terms across research communities and establishing how those terms interrelate in the design ontology. Using literature review, the following terms were analysed: design objects, elements, deliverables, entities, information, components, data, and artefacts. The results provide a holistic view of how the terms are employed throughout research communities, supporting the creation of search strings and pointing out opportunities for improving the design ontology.

“…Considerable research effort has been expended to understand PSS design (Morelli, 2003; Bertoni, 2013; Sakao and Mizuyama, 2014) and to develop support for designers of PSSs (Alonso-Rasgado et al , 2004; Komoto and Tomiyama, 2008; Medini and Boucher, 2019). There are, however, insufficient insights based on empirical research into how PSS design is carried out, and there is only a handful of descriptive studies of the processes in the conceptual design of a PSS (Sakao et al , 2011; Bertoni, 2013; Sakao and Mizuyama, 2014; Shimomura et al , 2015). Compared to product design (Purcell and Gero, 1998; Kannengiesser and Gero, 2015; Hay et al , 2017), an empirically based understanding of PSS design processes is underdeveloped.…”

Product/service systems (PSSs) are increasingly found in markets, and more resources are being invested in PSS design. Despite the substantial research into PSS design, the current literature exhibits an incomplete understanding of it as a cognitive activity. This article demonstrates that the methods used to analyze product designers’ cognitive behavior can be used to produce comparable and commensurable results when analyzing PSS designers. It also generates empirical grounding for the development of hypotheses based on a cognitive study of a PSS design session in a laboratory environment using protocol analysis. This study is a part of a larger project comparing PSS design with product design. The results, which are based on the function–behavior–structure coding scheme, show that PSS design, when coded using this scheme, can be quantitatively compared with product design. Five hypotheses were developed based on the results of the study of this design session concerning where and how designers expend their cognitive design effort. These hypotheses can be used to design experiments that test them and provide the grounding for a fuller understanding of PSS design.
