Abstract
Recently there has been increase in the number of manufacturing
firms offering service packages in support of their products,
through performance-based or availability contracts. The delivery
of “advanced services” by product-service-systems (PSS) is a
knowledge-intensive
socio-technical system in nature. Nonetheless,
the challenges associated with addressing uncertainty in the context
of estimating the cost of a PSS delivering availability need to be
overcome. We present a system-based approach and discuss the
uncertainties in modelling cost for a PSS. The aim is to demonstrate
the limitations of using only quantitative analysis for modelling the
uncertainty in estimating the cost of providing an advance service.
Building on the epistemological foundation, we then discuss
uncertainty in the context of ontology modelling and conclude with
final remarks and directions for future research.
