In today’s world, processors must expertly structure sophisticated integrated remedies using modern technologies based on multiple functionalities demands and the rapidly changing perceptions of consumers. Due to this, it is considerably complete for the givers of Product Service Systems (PSSs) to attain all the essential designing requirements. Product designers have to focus on the essential objectives required by PSSs to attain in the whole lifecycle process based on various criteria and approach typically considered in trade-off balancing. Presently, Design-for-X (DfX) approach signifies the most fundamental projection to facilitate production developments based on features and stages of product lifecycle. It is considered that these stages and features support the designing of PSSs, product redesigning and developing engineered products based on x dimensionality with respect to supportability of services. In this paper, a methodology has been proposed for the generation of novel DfX protocols. As such, an application case in mold industry will be used to represent physical engineered productions, which are developed when services have been integrated or added.
