30. BASE MODEL
31. Information Theory Available input (velocity; price; lexicon) Available algorithms (calculus; diligence; transformations) Available applications (space-travel; investment; language)
32. Information Stack Arts Humanities Social Sciences Evolution Biology Chemistry MMM Physics Knots (etc) Topology Analytic Geometry Numbers Value No Value Economic Optimisation
33. Entropy-Value Information Problem
34. Entropy-Value Information Problem
35. Entropy-Value Information Problem
36. Human-Resources Interface R : U (Value Creation-Storage-Destruction Problem)
37. Resource Consumption Mandate R 㱺 U R 㱺 U (Resource Consumption Mandate)
38. Welfare Maximisation Mandate ⇑U ⇑U (Welfare Maximisation Mandate)
39. Resource Constraint Mandate ⇓R P1 (limited energy input (solar, tidal); static fossil resource stock) P2 (static abiotic resource stock) P3 (vulnerable life-support systems) P4 (limited pollution processing capacities) (P5 (vulnerable species and natural systems)) I = changes to P1-5 which risk breaching ST ⇓I (Impact Constraint Mandate) STU (Sustainabilty Threshold Uncertainty) I ≅ R (Impact-Resource Consumption Equivalence) ⇓R (Resource Constraint Mandate)
40. Sustainability Thresholds Uncertainty STU Baseline Definition? Anthropic Trans-anthropic Complex Dynamics? Synergistic Effects Hysteretic Effects Unknown Threshold Dynamics (Where, What; Emergent Properties) Technology? Positive Dynamics (Better conversions, Better management) Negative Dynamics (More change, Worse Management)
41. Production Mandate R → P R ≢ U “P → U” (Product-Utility Formal Equivalence) R ≢ P (Resources-Product Information Imparity) R → P (Production Mandate)
42. Sustainability Definition ⇓R/⇑S (within ST) ⇓R “⇓R is sustainabilty” ⇑U R 㱺 U ⇓R → 0 ≠ ⇑U (Zero R means Zero U) ⇓R/⇑U (within ST) = S (Sustainability Definition : Optimisation)
43. STANDARD OPTIMISATIONS
44. Environmental Optimisation RA → ⇑U ⇓R {RA, RB, RC, RD} in order of increasing R : Environmental Optimisation {RA, RB, RC, RD} : RA → ⇑U
45. Environmental Allocation Problem RA? → ⇑U ⇓R {RA, RB, RC, RD} in order of increasing R : S ranking (assuming U controlled) {RA, RB, RC, RD} : RA → ⇑U ≡ {RA/UX, RB/UX, RC/UX, RD/UX} : RA/UX → ⇑U {RA1, RA2, RA3, RA4,} with equivalent R : no information texture {RA1, RA2, RA3, RA4,} : RA? → ⇑U (Environmental Allocation Problem) Allocation Problem : “Most efficient allocation to welfare uses of resources?” Allocation Solution : “The Efficient Market”
46. Economic Optimisation Character Production Function (Efficiency Assurance) Price Mechanism (Value Assurance)
47. Economic Optimisation ⇓R/P.P/⇑Y = ⇓R/⇑Y = ⇓R/⇑U “R → P” (Production Mandate) ⇓R/P (Production Function) “P → U” (Production-Utility Formal Equivalence) “Y ≡ U” (Revealed Preferences; SIL) P/⇑Y (Price Mechanism : “Consumption Function”) ⇓R/P.P/⇑Y = ⇓R/⇑Y = ⇓R/⇑U (Economic Optimisation) “Production Function.Price Mechanism = Efficient Market” ⇓I/⇑Y (Euro Commission Definition of “Resource Efficiency”)
48. Systemic Welfare Problem Prefs ≠ Prios “P → U” (Production-Utility Formal Equivalence) “Y ≡ U” (Revealed Preferences) P/⇑Y (Price Mechanism) “Expenditures : Revealed Preferences ≡ Welfare” “Revealed Preferences : Autonomous Preference Expression ≡ Welfare” Expenditure : Revealed {Preferences, Priorities} Revealed Priorities : Autonomous Priority Expression ≢ Welfare Y ≢ U (SWP (Expenditure : Revealed {Preferences, Priorities})) Preferences ≠ Priorities Price Mechanism ≠ Consumption Function
49. Preference-Priority Distinction Welfare Increase vs Protection Priorities ≠ Second-order Preferences Ratio of preferences to priorities = ? (SIL) Ambient U ⇓U ⇑U Preference ⇑ Priority ⇑
50. RESOURCE TRANSFORMATION ANALYSIS
51. REVIEW R 㱺 U (Human-Resources Interface) ⇑U (Utility Maximisation Mandate) ⇓R (Resource Constraint Mandate) ⇓R/⇑U (within ST) (Sustainability Definition) R → P (Production Mandate) ⇓R/P (Production Function) Y ≢ U (Systemic Welfare Problem; SIL} “P → U” (Product-Utility Formal Equivalence)
52. Optimisations Information Review ⇓R (Environmental Performance Ranking) R/P (Production Function) P/Y (Consumption Function) ⇓R/P.P/⇑Y = ⇓R/⇑Y = ⇓R/⇑U (Economic Optimisation)
53. Production-Utility Info Imparity “P ≡ U” (Product-Utility Formal Equivalence) R ≢ P (Resources-Production Information Imparity) R → P (Production Mandate) P ≢ U (Product-Utility Information Imparity) Production ≢ Welfare
54. Reinstitutionalisation of H-R Interface “P → U” (Product-Utility Formal Equivalence) P → F → UC → U (Utility Equivalence Chain)

57. PRODUCT-SERVICE SYSTEMS
58. Stahel Definition 1997 Functional economy is an economy that optimises the use (or function) of goods and services and thus the management of existing wealth (goods, knowledge, and nature).
59. Mont Definition 2004 A product-service system is a system of products, services, networks of actors and supporting infrastructure that continuously strives to be competitive, satisfy customer needs and have a lower environmental impact than traditional business models.
60. Manzini and Vezzoli Definition 2006 The result of an innovation strategy, shifting the business focus from designing and selling physical products only, to selling a system of products and services which are jointly capable of fulfilling specific client demands
61. PSS Concepts Efficiency Lifestyle Functionality Service Business (Models/Development/Innovation)
62. PSS Projects and Products Design of Eco-Efficient Services (MIT) 2001 SusProNet 2004 MePSS 2005 SCORE 2006-8 Polimi Torino Masters 2008-
63. PSS Priorities and Concepts Business Strategies (MIT, MEPSSS, Wong) Social Acceptance (Mont, IIIEE) Design Methodology (Manzini, Polimi)
64. PSS Examples Mobility Car-Sharing | ZipCar | FlexCar | CityCarClub Handbag Hire | Toy Hire Ski-Hire
65. PSS Problems Simple Explanation: What’s new? What’s being solved? Simple Optimisation Parameter(s): Efficiency of what? Welfare? Measurement of Actual and Potential Sustainability Benefity Differentation from Classical Services Clarity of Experiential Trade-Offs Policy Tools Design Methods Innovation Framework Policy Framework
66. MEASUREMENT PROBLEMS
67. PSS Measurement Candidates Apparent Dematerialisation Relative Dematerialisation Sharing
68. Apparent Dematerialisation Service-Based Lifestyles Per-capita LCA Indicates Problems!
69. Relative Dematerialisation R/GDP Service-Economy Transition is not PSS! Growth Economy leaves materialisation! Specific service LCA (e.g. washing services) Functional unit limited! No indication of actual efficiency!
70. Sharing Pers/Prod No welfare guarantee! Growth problem!
