The increasing complexity of modern product and production system development, driven by dynamic market demands, supply chain disruptions and economic pressures, poses significant challenges for companies. Existing methodologies often fall short due to their domain-specific focus, inconsistent terminology and lack of integration. To address these challenges, this paper presents a taxonomy for integrative product and production system development. The taxonomy systematically structures key elements, dependencies and processes to improve collaboration, decision-making and communication within organisations. Developed iteratively the taxonomy identifies ten core artefacts. It enables organisations to better plan improvements, synchronise development processes, and select appropriate methods and tools.
