摘要

Compared to single physical products or services, Industrial Product-Service Systems (IPS(2)) are characterized by a very high degree of dynamic changes not only during their planning, but throughout their entire life cycle. These changes have to be managed, tracked and documented by a change management process and supported by a change management system. As IPS(2) changes and change processes are very difficult to plan during the development phase of IPS(2), existing static and deterministic change management solutions are not appropriate to be used for IPS(2). This paper describes a new concept of an adaptive change management for IPS(2). The concept described allows for appropriate redesigning, adaption and execution of change processes of IPS(2) throughout its entire life cycle to carry out an IPS(2) change most efficiently with regard to time and costs.
