A second-order PSV-S and its performance model

This paper describes virtual prototyping of a new second-order product-service-value systems (PSV-S), especially its performance model. We have developed PSV-S concepts as an abstraction of engineering solutions and processes. In this paper, we increase the abstraction of the concepts for a new class of PSV-S called contracts. Together with solution PSV-S, these contractual PSV-Ss construct a more realistic external PSV-S called second-order or contextual PSV-S. Within this constructed PSV-S, various new solution PSV-Ss can be sustained. This paper creates a performance model for virtual prototyping of PSV-Ss.
