In this paper; the Systems Modelling Language (SysML) is introduced as a technique for the design of a product-service system (PSS). In examples of the requirements diagram in SysML; this paper shows that: (1) a PSS can be analysed by the SysML technique; and (2) the SysML can model the requirements of a PSS in orientations according to product; use or result. Recommendations based on the example will then be used to suggest improvements in the design of a PSS.
