The provision of three key areas of service are under investigation, underpinned by a set of reference ontologies to ensure a consistent understanding of product-service production knowledge.

 A Strategic Business Model Evaluator that will consider the strategic business interdependencies for product-service manufacture in order to provide cost comparisons and risk evaluations.

A Production Network Configurator that can support the design and evaluation of the required organisational and process structures.

A Product-Service Compliance Evaluator that will identify compliance issues through the evaluations of proposed network changes against existing ontological models of the product-service-production systems.
