Abstract
The presented paper includes the TTS background and a substantially innovated software management and engineering design tool for support of Product Design Specification (PDS) & Evaluation which has been implemented in MS Excel. The role of PDS is spread to an explicit (leading) and implicit (embedded) management tool for a continuously property driven and evaluated engineering design process. This new concept has been utilized and validated in a number of interdisciplinary engineering and industrial design projects which have arisen in cooperation with prominent Czech industrial companies.
