The Product Service System (PSS) concept is a design methodology-based business model to increase eco-effi ciency from a systemic perspective. The goal of this study is to establish the basis of Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Engineering (CAD/CAE) tools for design and analysis of products, services, and their interrelations in a PSS business model, concurrently and systematically. Based on the review of service and life cycle modeling methods, formal properties of the design information used in PSS business models are analyzed for the theoretical foundation of CAD tools used in the design process. The analysis leads to the development of Service CAD for the conceptual design of PSS business models. Service CAD is integrated with a Life Cycle Simulator, which supports quantitative analysis of PSS business models as a CAE tool. To demonstrate the utility of the tool in different scenarios, it has been used for the design and analysis of services and other operations in a product life cycle. The tool is also used for the analysis of service in a sustainable tourism destination offered by stakeholders in the service industry.
