A novel framework of a product service system for high value machine tools in modern digitized manufacturing systems. A prototype collaborative maintenance planning system implemented using an Open Source Content Management System rather than traditional engineering information systems. The research focused on real-life service driven product manufacturing and service operations involving different stakeholders. A machine tool is regarded as ‘product’ in a product service system, which also manufactures other products in a manufacturing system – both roles have been considered in this research. This research also focused on the modeling of business process, communication and knowledge especially dynamic and unstructured knowledge.
