Concept covered:
PSS Architecture consists of:
• Products - the tangible artefacts of the system
• Services - they include services that make products available (sales services, renting, sharing, etc.), and services to manage products in the use and end-of-life phases (maintenance, upgrading, take back, etc.)
• Network of actors - it includes all the socio-economic actors (e.g. manufacturers, suppliers, service providers) needed to produce and deliver the PSS
• Contract - it includes the payment structure (e.g. pay-per-use, fixed monthly fee etc.)
• Infrastructures - they comprise existing collective and private systems (such as roads, communication lines, waste collection systems, etc.).
