Customer requirements – mainly expressed function oriented – have to be fulfilled with adequate products. Knowing the dependencies of functional oriented requirements and the corresponding product elements is a prerequisite for configuration. The paper presents an approach for generating an architecture for Product-Service Systems (PSS) including functional and physical modularization and a mapping of functional to physical modules. Further on, the paper provides a framework of a method for a standardized interface description of product and service modules. Based on the PSS-architecture and the interface description an individual, customer oriented configuration of PSS is possible.
