Abstract We developed a new database tool to manage information during the product definition process. This tool is a result of an ongoing research program to coordinate marketing and design engineering efforts in new product developments, and consider the related life cycle issues early in the design process. The database tool facilitates a methodology that integrates customer and design information, and allows reuse of this information during redesign problems. This paper presents the development, implementation, and an example use of the database tool.
