Abstract
Informations about design specifications, components, design items, the correlations between the design specifications and the components, and the correlations between the design items and the design specifications or between the design items and the component, which are required for designing a product, are registered in a database while giving given definitions to the informations on a computer. A computer is used to prompt a design engineer to determine the content of the design specification with respect to a specific version of the product, and to extract components for the specific version from the database in accordance with the correlations between the design specifications and the components and present the extracted components to an engineer so as to prompt the engineer to determine components required for the specific version. Further, design items required for the specific version are extracted on a computer in accordance with the correlations between the design items and the design specifications or between the design items and the component.
