Flexibility is one of the main demands onto the organization of delivering Industrial Product-Service Systems (IPS²). IPS² development specifies all product shares; service shares and their interdependencies in an IPS² product model. The management of the service deliveries ans resources is the task of the IPS² organization. For the containment of influences; a reference architecture for dynamical organization to create and operate IPS² service supply chains is developed.
This paper describes a reference architecture for the IPS² organization by an modular organzition unit concept and how processes within the operation of IPS² can be managed by software agents.
