Product-service system (PSS) provides a strategic alternative to product-oriented economic growth and severe price competition in the global market. The objective of this research is to develop a systematic methodology to generate concepts for new PSSs; called a PSS concept generation support system. The models and strategies of more than ninety existing PSS cases are analyzed; and the insights extracted from the analysis are used to facilitate the concept generation process. The generated PSS concepts; after some screening and elaboration; can evolve to new business models for PSS.
